Hi! Below are some ideas of pricing.

Always remember that the most expensive part of the blackboard is the artwork and decorative headings. The cost is minimal to increase the size of your board or to add menu text. Menu text can be completed by brush or liquid chalk pen, the latter is the cheaper option.

Supply Board = 6 mm think MDF board, 2 coats blackboard paint and 2 coats sealant on finished product. Prices for blank boards are at the bottom of this page. Please understand that this is a guide only, not an exact science. To see the transition from Layouts to the finished product, please take a look here!


I am happy to provide quotes based on works from my own website to give you an idea of pricing. Just copy and paste the picture into an email and send it to me.

The prices below include GST but DO NOT INCLUDE POSTAGE OR FREIGHT

Please note - I am NOT a commercial blackboard manufacturer or framer, but I will do my utmost to fulfil your blackboard requirements.

I do NOT supply blank blackboards, nor do I know where you can buy them from .

Range of small boards - subject to availability. I do not custom frame boards at this stage. Framed boards between $40 - $80 up to 500 mm x 700 mm

Blackboard above – 400 mm x 600 mm frame board + Artwork and Signage = Total Cost $250.00 - $290.00

Board above - UNFRAMED

Supply of board 600 mm x 900 mm ($30.00) + Artwork and Signage ($210.00) = $240.00

This size is postable for around $20.00 (registured/insured) within Australia.

Board above

Supply of board 600 mm x 900 mm ($30.00) + Artwork and Signage ($280.00) + Hand brushed menu text ($70.00) - Chalk pen is cheaper = $380.00

Board above

Supply board 1500 mm x 1000 mm ($70.00) + Artwork and Signage ($570.00) + Menu text ($140.00) = $780.00

And pure Artwork. The board above 600 mm x 900 mm (Artwork only, NO FRAME) = $700.00
I hope this has assisted you in making your decision. Please feel free to compare my prices with any other reputable Blackboard/Chalk Artist, or to contact me with any questions.
