Clipboard, standard shape, light blue

The pen slides across the form. There's nothing to lean on. The paper creases. If you write on the go, you know the feeling. With a wooden clipboard, you always have a firm writing surface with you. At the market stall, in the waiting room, at an off-site appointment or at home with your shopping list. This light blue clipboard made from 3 mm birch plywood is made for your everyday life with notes, lists and forms. And it brings a cheerful splash of colour too.

What changes for you

• You can write neatly anywhere, without wobbling. The 3 mm birch plywood forms a firm, flat writing board.
• Your notes, checklists and forms stay together and in place. That's thanks to the strong metal clip, available as a spring clip or a wire clip.
• You'll find exactly the size that suits your papers. The clipboard is available for DIN A3, A4, A5 and A6, each in portrait or landscape.
• Your board still looks well cared for after lots of use. The surface is sealed twice with a durable water-based clear lacquer.
• You can put it together to suit your style. Choose from clips in eight colours, from silver to rose gold to copper. Some are available with an optional pen holder.

Why this clipboard makes a difference every day

You can tell a good clipboard by the fact that you stop thinking about writing. The board sits steadily in your hand. The pages don't flap. The pen glides evenly. The wood in cheerful light blue looks far more homely than plastic on a desk, at a counter or as a menu holder. You can also use it as a script holder. Presenters, speakers and voice artists keep their cue cards, script or speech notes firmly in hand. On stage, in front of the camera or at the lectern.

Material & finish

We make every clipboard at Bütic in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. Despite its slim build, the 3 mm birch plywood is very stable and sturdy. The corners are rounded and the finish is clean. Nothing presses and nothing sticks out. The double seal of water-based clear lacquer protects the light blue surface in daily use. Wood is a purely natural material. The grain shows through, and small knots and differences in shade may occur. That makes each piece one of a kind, not faulty.

How to use the clipboard

• In the office or home office: clip in your to-do list, tick things off, carry on working. Your notes stay tidy next to your keyboard instead of lying loose on the desk.
• At the market stall or an off-site appointment: keep order slips and delivery lists firmly in hand. You write just as neatly standing up as you do at your desk.
• In a café, restaurant or practice: as a menu holder or for forms in the waiting room, the light blue wooden board looks inviting. And it stays sturdy in constant use.
• On stage or in front of the camera: your speech or cue cards sit firmly under the clip. You focus on your performance, not on flying pages.
• At home: clip on your shopping list, weekly plan or recipe. With the pen holder version, your pen is right there when something comes to mind.

Good to know about the clipboard

Plywood is made of several thin layers of wood glued crosswise. This means it hardly warps and keeps its shape, even at just 3 mm thick. That's why the clipboard can be so light and slim and still work as a reliable writing surface. Even when you write standing up or on the go.

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 and harsh cleaning products. That way, the light blue surface keeps its well-cared-for look for a long time.
