Clipboard, B-grade

Stocktaking in the warehouse, a checklist at the farmers' market or a quick note while you're on your feet – wherever there's no table nearby, you need a firm surface to write on. A birch plywood clipboard gives you exactly that: clip in your sheet, write, carry on – made for everyday life away from a desk. As a B-grade item, it comes with minor cosmetic flaws but works perfectly – at a fair price.

What changes for you

• You can write neatly on the go without your paper slipping – the robust metal clip holds your sheet securely in place.
• You have a sturdy board in your hand that still stays light – thanks to the dimensionally stable birch plywood, just 3 mm thick.
• No need to handle the board with kid gloves – the surface is sealed with a hard-wearing, water-based clear lacquer and copes well with daily use.
• You save compared with flawless items – minor flaws such as cracks, marks or glued knots make no difference to how well it works or how much it can take.
• You'll find the right size for every purpose – from large A3 plans to handy A6 notes, in portrait or landscape.

Why this clipboard makes a difference every day

With a sturdy clipboard in your hand, you can focus better. Nothing flaps about and nothing slips. You can tick things off, count and take notes on the move. The wood feels warmer and nicer in your hand than cool plastic. On the counter or the table, its smooth birch surface stands out. That turns a simple tool into something you enjoy using – and one you can take anywhere.

Material & finish

The clipboard is made of sturdy, robust birch plywood, has a coloured finish and is sealed with a hard-wearing, water-based clear lacquer – protecting the surface in daily use. The metal clip holds your paper reliably in place, and the workmanship is clean. Good to know: this is a B-grade item. Every piece has minor flaws such as cracks, marks or glued knots – none of which affect how it works. On top of that, wood is a purely natural material. It varies in shade, shows different grain patterns and small knots – which is exactly what makes every board one of a kind.

How to use the clipboard

• For stocktaking in the warehouse or shop: clip in your list and tick off shelf by shelf – no hunting for a table, no piles of loose notes.
• In restaurants and cafés: hand out the menu on a clipboard. Your guests hold real wood in their hands, and changing the menu takes just seconds.
• In the office as a writing board for forms, minutes and signature folders – everything stays flat and in its place.
• For surveys, guided tours or at the farmers' market: you take notes standing up, with the A4 clipboard resting securely on your forearm.
• At home for shopping lists, cleaning rotas or the children's craft instructions – in the small A6 size, your note hangs within easy reach instead of lying around loose.

Good to know about the clipboard

Plywood is made of several layers of veneer glued crosswise – which keeps it remarkably stable and resistant to warping, even when thin. That's exactly why 3 mm birch plywood is enough to give you a firm writing board that still feels light in your hand.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: thanks to the clear lacquer seal, simply wipe the board with a slightly damp cloth when needed. Avoid prolonged moisture – that way the wood keeps its attractive surface for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

What does B-grade mean for this clipboard? Every piece has minor flaws such as cracks, marks or glued knots. Its function is not affected – the board is fully usable and hard-wearing.

Can I choose the shape and colour? No, with B-grade items the shape and colour cannot be chosen. You only select the size and quantity, and we'll send one of the versions we have in stock.

Does the clip hold the paper securely? Yes, the robust metal clip – preferably in silver – stops the sheet from slipping and holds it firmly in place.

Why does every board look a little different? Wood is a natural material: it varies in shade, and small irregularities in the grain or knots are part of it. That makes every Bütic clipboard one of a kind.

In the end, it's not about a board with a clip. It's about the moment when you can simply start writing in the middle of all the hustle and bustle – and your list is complete at the end of the day. Just choose your size, and your next clipboard is ready to go.
