What are clipboards?

Clipboards offer convenient and sturdy writing spaces in the workplace, at home, and in the classroom. They are thin, rigid boards with clips at the top for holding paper, ensuring a secure grip.

When are clipboards used?

Generally, clipboards are used as writing surfaces when other surfaces are unavailable, especially when supporting paper with one hand. They are used in many different workplaces including warehouses, offices, schools, and events.

Considerations when choosing a clipboard

Material - Modern clipboards are made from wood, metal, and plastic. Hardboard is the most popular material but other options are just as reliable. The use of recycled content in some wood and metal clipboards makes them an eco-friendly choice.

Size - Decide what size you need before you buy a clipboard. A4 is generally the standard clipboard size, but other sizes such as A3 and A5 are available.

Type - Although standard clipboards allow you to keep additional papers and materials on hand, they can sometimes be quite bulky. With a folder clipboard, you can keep paper on hand while being able to carry it easily due to it's slim design.

Clip style - standard clip styles are great if you are intending on holding a lot of paper, but there are other options such as the low-profile clip which are more suitable for just a few sheets of paper.

FAQs

Can clipboards be used outdoors?

Not all clipboard materials are suitable for wet weather conditions. Plastic clipboards are generally more durable and weatherproof, so are more suitable for the outdoors.
