Custom Schedule Boards: Any Design, Any Size, Made to Your Sketch
A dry wipe schedule board is not a blank board. It is a board with a printed layout — periods, days, shifts, batches, machines, rooms or doctors — and the layout is the product.
That is why the catalog lists the Dry Wipe Schedule Board as available in any design and any size, made to your sketch and layout, with sketches accepted in CorelDRAW, Photoshop or Word files.
The three things that have to be settled first
The catalog is explicit about what has to be provided before ordering. These three details are the whole specification.
- Quantity of board — how many identical layouts you need
- Sizes of board — the dimensions each board has to be
- Sketch of board as per customer requirements — the layout itself
Accepted sketch formats
CorelDRAW, Photoshop and Word files are the formats listed in the catalog. A Word file is enough for a simple grid: rows and columns with the labels you want printed, and a note of which cells repeat.
A CorelDRAW or Photoshop file is the better choice when the layout has a logo, colour bands, a fixed header, or a grid that has to line up with an existing printed form.
If Plusmark makes the design
The catalog notes that when Plusmark makes the design of a board, additional charges will be applicable. So there are two routes: send a finished sketch in one of the accepted formats, or send the content and ask for the design to be made — and expect the second route to carry a design charge.
Either way the design is confirmed before the board goes into production, because a printed layout cannot be changed once it is on the surface.
Layouts that commonly get ordered
Schools order period grids and timetable boards, usually one per classroom with the same layout. Colleges and coaching centres order batch and faculty schedules. Factories order shift rosters, machine loading boards and production data panels. Hospitals and clinics order doctor and room duty charts.
All of these are dry wipe, so the layout is printed once and the entries are written and erased every day.
Related custom work in the same range
Schedule boards are not the only made-to-design product in the catalog. Practice board line marking is provided as per school or customer requirements, fabric notice boards come in the customer's preferred fabric colour with the board layout as per requirement, and acrylic folder display boards are made with folder size and quantity as per customer requirement.
If your order mixes a printed schedule board with any of those, send the whole requirement in one enquiry so the layouts are confirmed together.
