A4 clipboard in birch plywood – standard shape

Taking orders at the counter, carrying a checklist round the stockroom or jotting something down on the go – and the paper keeps slipping. A wooden A4 clipboard gives you a firm writing surface that holds your pages securely, as if made for your working day. Whether in the office, in a café or restaurant or at home: the clipboard sits steadily in your hand, and you can write anywhere as comfortably as at your desk.

What changes for you

• You can write neatly on the go, at the counter or standing up, without hunting for something to lean on – because the sturdy plywood board doesn't give.
• Your sheets stay put, even when things get hectic – thanks to the robust metal spring clip that stops them slipping.
• Present menus or daily specials on real wood. Birch plywood looks much warmer than plastic.
• You'll find the right look for your home or your venue – because the clipboard comes in wood tones such as walnut and in bold solid colours.
• You keep presenter cards, speech notes or a script firmly in hand – on stage, in front of the camera or at the lectern.

Why this clipboard makes a difference every day

You can tell a good clipboard by the fact that you stop thinking about it: the paper stays in place, the board sits steadily, and you focus on what you're writing or presenting. In a café or restaurant, it turns a simple menu into a lovingly presented one; in the office, it turns loose notes into tidy paperwork. Along the way, it creates a neat, natural overall impression – at work just as much as at home.

Material & finish

Bütic makes this clipboard in our own production in Pößneck from 3 mm birch plywood. The surface is sanded smooth and sealed with a durable clear varnish. It feels pleasant to the touch and stands up well to everyday use. The silver-coloured metal spring clip grips securely and holds your pages together. Wood is a purely natural material. Every board shows its own grain. Small knots and differences in shade are normal. This makes each piece unique. It is not a flaw.

• At home: shopping lists, recipes or the week's to-do list close at hand in one fixed place – and the kitchen table stays free of loose notes.
• At the market or on your stall: price lists and order slips held securely – quickly to hand, even in wind and bustle.

Good to know about plywood

Plywood is made by gluing several thin layers of wood together crosswise – so the tensions in the wood balance each other out. That's why the board stays stable and hardly warps despite being only 3 mm thick: exactly the quality you need in a writing board that gets picked up every day.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do: simply wipe the clear-lacquered surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid prolonged moisture and harsh cleaning products – that way the wood keeps its smooth, well-kept look for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Does it fit A4 in portrait and landscape? Yes. At approx. 320 x 220 mm, the clipboard holds A4 sheets both upright and sideways.

Will the sheets slip out? No. The metal spring clip grips firmly and stops them slipping – even with several pages, such as a manuscript or a menu.

Does every clipboard look the same? Not quite. Wood is a natural material: grain, shade and small knots vary from board to board – every one is unique.

How do I look after the clipboard? Simply wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. The clear-lacquered surface handles everyday use well; please avoid prolonged moisture.

In the end, it's not about a board with a clip. It's about the moment when you can write calmly on the go, your guest is happy to pick up the menu, or your manuscript simply stays put. Just choose your colour – the clipboard takes care of the rest.
