Noticeboard Company Blog

At Notice Board Company, we’ve spent years helping organisations create spaces that communicate clearly and function effectively. But as workplaces, schools and public environments have evolved, so too have the challenges within them. One of the most overlooked—and increasingly important—is sound. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Aura Acoustic Panels: a new, dedicated range of acoustic solutions designed to bring balance, clarity and comfort back into busy environments. Manufactured from high-quality PET felt, Aura panels combine acoustic performance with contemporary design, offering a solution that works just as well visually as it does acoustically.

Planning a custom notice board with your organisation's logo? Providing the correct artwork can make the difference between a professional, high-quality finish and a logo that appears blurry or pixelated when printed. In this guide, we explain the best logo file formats, recommended resolutions, and artwork requirements to help ensure your notice board looks its very best.

To ensure the best print quality, artwork should ideally be supplied as a print-ready EPS or PDF file, set to the exact dimensions of the visible display area of the lectern. Alternatively, you may provide the text content along with high-resolution images, and our design team can prepare the artwork in the correct size and format for production. Please note that artwork preparation is a chargeable service. We would be happy to provide a quotation based on your specific requirements.

Replacing a lock on a Tradition 30 or Classic 58 notice board is a quick and simple task that requires only basic tools.

If you require a replacement lock or any assistance, please contact our team who will be happy to help.
