Birch plywood clipboard, anthracite – A3 to A6

The survey is under way, the stocktake list is long, or you simply want something firm to write on while you're out and about – that's exactly when a good clipboard shows what it can do. This standard-shape clipboard made from 3mm birch plywood gives your notes a sturdy writing surface, and the anthracite colour looks calm and tidy – as if made for your working day. The clip holds your sheets securely together, whether at your desk, on reception or out on your way through the warehouse.

What changes for you

• You can write neatly anywhere without any wobbling – because the 3mm birch plywood forms a firm, flat writing board.
• Your papers stay together and in place, thanks to a metal spring clip or wire clip that holds the pages reliably.
• You'll find the right size for every purpose – from a large A3 plan to a compact A6 checklist, each in portrait or landscape.
• Your clipboard still looks well cared for after plenty of use, because the surface is sealed with two coats of hard-wearing water-based clear lacquer.
• The dark anthracite blends discreetly into almost any setting – whether reception, practice or workshop.

Why this clipboard makes a difference every day

A clipboard is one of those things you only miss when it's gone. It gives you firm support when writing standing up. Your list doesn't blow away. The form is handed to the customer neatly. With a writing board in solid anthracite made of real wood, even the plainest checklist sits neatly and within easy reach in your hand. And because the board sits steadily in your hand, you can focus on what's written on it – not on what it's resting on.

Material & finish

The board is made of 3mm birch plywood. It is thin enough to feel light in your hand. At the same time, the layered structure of the plywood makes it very stable and sturdy. The surface is sealed twice with a durable water-based clear varnish. This makes it feel smooth, and it stands up well to daily use. The rounded corners and clean finish mean nothing catches or scratches. Every clipboard is made in our own production at Bütic in Pößneck, Thuringia. Wood is a purely natural material. Differences in shade, small knots and fine textures in the grain are part of it. They make every board unique and are not a defect.

How to use the clipboard

• For stocktaking in the warehouse: clip in your list, have your pen ready – and tick off item after item without hunting for the edge of a table.
• In a café or restaurant: as a menu holder, the anthracite wooden board gives your menu a firm frame and a smart look on the table.
• On reception or in a practice: you hand out forms and questionnaires with a firm backing – your guests and patients can fill them in comfortably while seated.
• On stage or in front of the camera: as a script holder, the clip keeps your script, presenter cards or speech notes securely together while the board sits steadily in your hand.
• Out and about and at home: whether it's an outdoor survey, a shopping list or building plans – you always have a firm writing surface with you, even when there's no table in sight.

Good to know about the clipboard

Birch plywood is made from several layers of wood glued together crosswise – which is why it's surprisingly rigid even when thin. For you, that means: the board, just 3mm thick, stays light but doesn't bend when you write – a noticeable difference from thin cardboard backings, especially when filling things in standing up.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: thanks to the two coats of clear lacquer, simply wipe the board with a slightly damp cloth when needed. Avoid prolonged wetness and harsh cleaners – that way the surface keeps its smooth, well-cared-for look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I choose the direction of the wood grain? As standard, we optimise the cutouts, so the grain may run horizontally or vertically. A preferred direction is possible by arrangement – just send us a short message.

Is the clipboard also available with a pen holder? Yes, some clip options are available with an optional pen holder – so your pen is always to hand on the board.

Why does my board look slightly different from the photo? Wood is a natural material: variations in shade, fine textures and small knots are normal and make every clipboard unique.

How do I care for the surface? Simply wipe with a slightly damp cloth when needed. Avoid prolonged wetness and harsh cleaners, and the sealed surface will stay looking good for a long time.
