Blackboard films: Self-adhesive chalkboard for writing

Blackboard foils are made of high-quality plastic with a particularly scratch-resistant surface. There is an adhesive layer on the underside that securely bonds the film to the surface.

Ready to use in no time

The self-adhesive blackboard films are applied in just a few steps. They are ready to use in no time and transform smooth surfaces into an individual chalkboard. They are extremely durable and can be written on as often as you like with school chalk or liquid chalk. They can be wiped off easily with a damp cloth – and without leaving any ghost writing behind.

Flexible alternative to classic chalkboard

Chalk films are an excellent alternative to the traditional slate board, flipchart or whiteboard: In the children’s room, children can always design new works of art on them. If the film is used as a memo board in the kitchen, it can be used to record which household chores still need to be done. The most important points of the meeting can be easily recorded – and wiped off again if necessary.

💡 Tip: Signs, advertising boards and prints can also be covered with a chalkboard film. If you use a transparent model for this, you can create individual chalkboard solutions and thus ensure special chalkboard moments!

Scratch-resistant: Guarantee for a long service life

The chalk films are of top quality and have a long service life. The prerequisite for this is the scratch-resistant surface, which can be wiped off again and again with a damp cloth or sponge. Even after years of use, no shadows or ghost writing remain on the adhesive film.

Abrasive cleaning agents and aggressive chemicals should not be used for cleaning so that the film is not damaged. Stones or chalk that is too hard should also not be used to avoid scratching the surface of the adhesive film. It is best to use soft chalk and liquid chalk markers, which are ideal for this type of writing. High-quality chalk is available in many beautiful colors in our online shop.

Knowing where: The right chalkboard foil place

The big advantage of chalk film is that you can cut it to exactly the size you need. You can easily make chalk foil yourself and cut it into all imaginable shapes and sizes.

Bonding to smooth and rough surfaces

The self-adhesive foils can be stuck to all smooth surfaces. They are therefore ideal for bonding to walls, cupboards and doors. Typical places where chalk foil is used are schools, kindergartens, restaurants, seminar rooms, offices and children’s rooms. But it can also be used on rough surfaces if the surface is covered with PVC smoothing foam. The smoothing foam can be easily purchased as an accessory in the online shop.

Chalk foil can be used on large and small areas

Another advantage of blackboard foil is that the adhesive foil can be used on large and small areas. The size of the foil can be individually tailored to the existing space requirements. The foil can be ordered by the meter and cut to size yourself. Or it is simply delivered as a millimeter cut in the desired size. For particularly large areas, several strips are glued next to each other. In this way, the available space for the adhesive is ideally used.

💡 Tip: If the blackboard foil is glued on a magnetic foil, the blackboard foil becomes magnetic in just a few steps. In addition to labeling with circles, photos, pictures and notes can also be attached witht magnets.

Step by step: Installing chalkboard films correctly

Chalkboard films can be applied without much effort. They can be applied dry or wet. In a first step, the film should be cut to the correct size. Then the surface to be glued should be thoroughly cleaned so that it is free of dust, grease and dirt. If the chalkboard film is applied dry, we recommend applying it in high humidity to minimize static charge on the film during application. If applying wet, spray the cleaned surface with a little release agent and lubricant. Peel off the protective film on the back, spray the adhesive side and apply it to the glass surface. Smooth everything out from the middle with a felt squeegee to remove any bubbles and wipe dry, done.

💡 Tip: You can order linear meters, millimeter cuttings and whole rolls. If you wish we cut it to the desired size. Simply specify the desired size of the chalk film in the comments field when ordering.
