What Are Custom Printed Whiteboards and Glassboards?
A custom printed whiteboard (also called a printed graphic board) is a standard magnetic writing surface with your chosen artwork, layout, or branding printed directly onto the board's face. It looks stunning, communicates instantly, and still functions as a fully erasable, writable surface. The same technology applies to custom printed glassboards — your graphic is embedded under premium tempered glass, giving a sleek, ultra-modern finish.
The printing is a permanent, integral part of the board. You write on top of the print with dry-erase markers, erase it cleanly, and the design stays crisp and vibrant indefinitely. Custom Graphic Whiteboards and Glass Boards provide a personalised experience, tailored to varied organisational needs. They are a staple communication tool in offices, educational and medical institutions across Australia and are a great option for large scale projects and commercial spaces.
Why Choose a Custom Printed Board?
Standard whiteboards and glassboards are excellent tools on their own, but custom printing elevates them into purpose-built communication hubs. Here's why more Australian organisations are switching:
1. Communicate Structure at a Glance
Pre-printed layouts — like kanban columns, team rosters, production schedules, or shift planners — save time every single day. Instead of drawing up the same grid by hand each morning, the structure is already there. Staff write in the details; the framework does the rest.
2. Reinforce Your Brand
A whiteboard with your logo, brand colours, and company name transforms a functional tool into a brand asset. It's particularly impactful in client-facing spaces like boardrooms, reception areas, training rooms, and hospitality venues. Every meeting your board is visible in is a branding moment.
3. Reduce Errors and Improve Workflows
In industries like healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and warehousing, a custom printed whiteboard with pre-defined zones, checklists, or process flows reduces the cognitive load on staff. The right information is always in the right place — you just fill in the current data.
4. Create a Stunning Interior Feature
A large-format custom printed glassboard is as much a piece of interior design as it is a functional tool. Available in any colour and with any artwork, printed glassboards bring a premium, architectural quality to offices, hotels, and creative studios. They're flat, frameless, and wall-flush — genuinely beautiful.

The Custom Printing Process: How It Works at JustBoards
Ordering a custom printed whiteboard or glassboard from JustBoards is simpler than you might expect. Here's the typical process:
Step 1 — Tell Us What You Need
Contact our team with your ideas. You might have a finished design file, a rough sketch, or just a concept. We work with all of them. Let us know the intended size, the board type you want (whiteboard or glassboard), and your artwork requirements.
Step 2 — Design & Artwork
If you have print-ready artwork (PDF, EPS, or high-resolution image file), great — send it through. If you need design help, we can work with you. The key is that any text, logos, or lines that form part of your permanent layout get printed onto the board, while the writable areas are left clear (or lightly indicated as zones).
Step 3 — Proof Approval
Before anything goes to production, you'll receive a digital proof to review and approve. This is your chance to check spacing, colours, text, and layout. Nothing gets printed until you're completely happy.
Step 4 — Production & Quality Check
Your board is manufactured and printed to order. Each unit goes through a quality inspection before dispatch to ensure the print is crisp, the surface is perfect, and the fitments are secure. Lead time is typically between 10-15 Working Days after your artwork approval.
Step 5 — Fast Australia-Wide Delivery
JustBoards delivers to every capital city and regional area across Australia. The boards are manufactured in our warehouse in Sydney with fast dispatch direct to your door. Our office is based in Brisbane. We offer free ground-floor delivery on orders over $150 to all capital city metro areas — including Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, and Darwin.
Custom Printed Whiteboard Planners: A Special Mention
One of our most popular custom printed products is the custom printed whiteboard planner — a year planner, term planner, or weekly planner with a pre-printed calendar structure over a fully magnetic, erasable surface. Schools across Australia use them to manage term schedules, and businesses use them for annual project planning and marketing calendars.
The beauty of a printed planner board is that the months, weeks, and date markers are permanently printed — so you never have to redraw the grid — while all the actual content (events, tasks, deadlines) is written with dry-erase markers and wiped clean at the end of each cycle. It's reusable, endlessly updatable, and looks professional year after year.
We offer custom printed Year Planner Whiteboards, Term Planner Whiteboards, and Monthly Planner Whiteboards. All available in custom sizes and with your choice of layout, colours, and branding. Click HERE to view our range of stock standard Planners.
Tips for Getting the Best Result From Your Custom Printed Board
After more than 20 years of producing custom printed boards for Australian organisations, here's what separates a great outcome from a great one:
Keep the writable area clear. The printed layout should define the structure of the board, not fill it. Leave generous white (or light-coloured) zones for writing so the board remains practical and easy to read once people start using it.
Use high-contrast colours for permanent elements. Lines, labels, and headers that are printed permanently should be bold enough to read at a distance. Your branding can be more subtle, but the functional elements need to stand out against the writing that'll be added over time.
Think about the viewing distance. A board in a large training room will be read from 6–8 metres away. A board in a small meeting room may be read from 2 metres. Font sizes and line weights that look fine on a screen can disappear in a large-format print at distance — our team can advise on this.
Plan for updates. Your layout should be designed to remain useful for years. Avoid printing specific dates, staff names, or project titles as permanent elements — those things change. Print the framework, not the content.
