£25.53(£30.64 inc VAT)
The Paper Mate Inkjoy 100 is a capped medium-point ballpoint pen supplied here in a tuck box of 50. It is a practical, no-frills writing instrument commonly used in catering and hospitality environments for order taking, docket writing, and general administrative tasks front and back of house.
The pen writes smoothly with consistent ink flow, requiring light pressure — useful during a busy service when staff are writing quickly and repeatedly. The triangular barrel helps with grip and prevents the pen rolling off countertops and order stations. The capped design keeps the tip protected when pens are stored in apron pockets or communal pen pots.
- Consistent ink flow reduces skipping during fast-paced order writing
- Triangular barrel improves grip and reduces rollaway on flat surfaces
- Capped design protects the nib during storage and pocket carry
- Pack of 50 supports bulk replenishment for busy front-of-house teams
- Lightweight at 6g — comfortable during extended periods of use
These are a sensible choice for restaurants, cafés, pubs, and hotel front desks that get through pens at volume. If your operation requires something more robust or branded, it is worth considering alternatives suited to that purpose.
If you are unsure about quantities or have questions about other stationery and smallwares for your operation, the team is happy to help.
£2.35(£2.82 inc VAT)
These black permanent markers from Puracycle are designed specifically for use with Puracycle reusable labels, providing a reliable way to write clearly on labels used across food prep, storage, and service areas. Each pack contains three pens, making them a practical replenishment item for kitchens already running Puracycle's reusable labelling system.
The ink is formulated to stay legible across a range of conditions — wet, dry, hot, and cold — which matters in environments where labels move between ambient, chilled, and frozen storage. Marks remain readable without smearing or fading during normal kitchen use, helping staff identify contents, dates, and allergen information accurately throughout the day.
These are straightforward consumable items with no installation requirements. They work as intended when paired with Puracycle reusable labels and are not designed as general-purpose permanent markers. If your kitchen uses a different labelling system, it is worth checking compatibility before ordering.
Well suited to any commercial kitchen already using Puracycle reusable labels, from small independent operations to larger sites with multiple labelling points. If your team goes through markers quickly, it may be worth considering a larger quantity at the time of ordering.
If you have questions about Puracycle's labelling system or want to make sure you have the right consumables for your setup, the team is happy to help.
£8.93(£10.72 inc VAT)
These Securit liquid chalk pens are a practical writing tool for hospitality and catering operations that use chalkboard-style menus, table cards, pavement boards, or wall-mounted display boards. Each pack contains four white markers with a fine 2mm precision tip, giving operators clean, legible lettering suitable for daily specials, allergen notices, pricing, or directional signage.
The ink dries to a smudge-resistant, water-resistant finish — an important consideration in busy front-of-house environments where boards are frequently brushed past or exposed to splashes. When a menu change is needed, the ink removes cleanly with a damp cloth, making it straightforward to update boards between services without specialist cleaning products.
Practical benefits for front-of-house use include:
- Fine 2mm tip for clear, controlled lettering on any scale of board
- Water and smudge resistance once dry — reliable in high-traffic areas
- Easy removal with a damp cloth — no additional cleaning products needed
- Compatible with most pavement, table, and wall menu board surfaces
- Pack of four keeps replacements to hand across multiple display points
These pens work across the range of Securit chalkboard products and are broadly compatible with other chalk-effect and porous board surfaces. They are not intended for use on standard whiteboards or non-porous surfaces, where removal can be more difficult — worth confirming before use on unfamiliar board materials.
Well suited to cafés, restaurants, pubs, hotels, and any operation that regularly updates handwritten display boards. If you use a large number of boards across multiple areas or need different tip sizes or colours, it is worth getting in touch to discuss the broader Securit range before ordering in quantity.
£1.85(£2.22 inc VAT)
The Sharpie Fine is a standard fine-tip permanent marker in black ink. It writes on most surfaces including labels, tape, containers, packaging, and card, making it a practical everyday tool in a commercial kitchen environment.
In a working kitchen, permanent markers earn their place quickly. Staff use them for date-labelling prep containers, marking allergen information on wrapping, annotating storage bags, and keeping track of rotation across fridges and dry stores. The fine tip keeps writing legible even on small labels without bleeding across the surface.
A few practical points worth noting for kitchen use:
- Fine tip produces clear, readable text on most label and tape formats
- Permanent ink resists smearing once dry on non-porous surfaces
- Compact and lightweight at 22g — sits comfortably in a pocket or apron
- Suitable for use on cardboard, plastic containers, cling film tape, and foil
- Black ink provides strong contrast against white or light-coloured labels
It is worth being aware that permanent markers are not suitable for writing on wet or greasy surfaces, and ink may fade if labels are exposed to prolonged moisture. For refrigerated storage labelling, purpose-made freezer tape and low-temperature markers may be more reliable depending on your storage conditions.
The Sharpie Fine is well suited to most kitchen and back-of-house settings where a reliable everyday marker is needed. If you regularly label high volumes of prep or use specialist surfaces, it is worth considering whether a different tip size or ink type would serve better — the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£11.19(£13.43 inc VAT)
This Beaumont letter set provides 660 individual characters at 12mm for use with standard peg boards, in red, white or yellow. It gives operators a ready supply of letters, numbers and punctuation to compose and update customer-facing messages without running short mid-service.
In a busy front-of-house or counter setting, being able to change a specials board quickly and legibly matters. The 12mm character height is readable at a practical counter distance, and the colour options contrast against the dark background typical of most peg boards.
- 660 characters per set, sufficient for multiple simultaneous displays
- 12mm height suited to counter-level and eye-line reading distances
- Lightweight plastic construction, easy to store and handle between uses
- Compatible with standard peg board systems used across hospitality settings
The characters slot directly into compatible peg boards and can be reorganised as often as needed. Confirm compatibility with your existing board before ordering, as peg board slot sizes vary between manufacturers. Choose your colour using the option above.
£21.60(£25.92 inc VAT)
Sharpie Fine permanent markers are a practical everyday writing tool widely used across commercial kitchens, front-of-house, and back-office environments. The fine tip delivers a consistent, legible line on most surfaces, and the ink is permanent and water-resistant once dry, making it reliable for labelling tasks where marks need to stay put.
In a kitchen setting, these are most commonly used for date labelling on food containers and cling-filmed trays, writing on freezer bags, annotating prep schedules, and marking allergen information on storage boxes. The fine point gives enough precision for small labels without the bleed you get from a broad-tip marker. A pack of twelve keeps enough stock on hand to cover multiple stations without constant reordering.
- Permanent, water-resistant ink suitable for most non-porous surfaces
- Fine tip for legible writing on small labels and containers
- Consistent ink flow across the full length of the marker
- Lightweight and easy to store in apron pockets or at prep stations
- Pack of 12 supports multi-station or multi-site use
There is little complexity to consider with a product like this, though it is worth noting that permanent markers are not appropriate for direct contact with unwrapped food surfaces. For high-volume labelling operations, some kitchens prefer dedicated label printers alongside markers for handwritten notes — both have their place.
These are a practical fit for any commercial kitchen that relies on manual date labelling, prep notes, or general station organisation. If you have questions about other labelling or organisation supplies, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£3.24(£3.89 inc VAT)
Sharpie Ultra Fine permanent markers are a practical everyday tool in commercial kitchen environments. The ultra-fine tip produces a precise, clean line, making them well suited to detailed labelling work, writing on prep containers, marking allergen information, annotating storage bags, or updating specials boards and menu displays.
The ink is permanent and resistant to smearing once dry, which matters in busy prep areas where labels need to stay legible through refrigeration, handling, and the general demands of a working kitchen. The fine point gives enough control for small text on labels without the ink spreading or bleeding.
Common uses in a catering setting include:
- Labelling food storage containers and prep bags with dates and contents
- Writing on chalkboard markers or laminated menu cards where a fine line is needed
- Marking allergen information clearly on packaging
- Annotating equipment or storage areas during a refit or deep clean
These are sold as a 2 pack, which is sensible for a kitchen environment where markers tend to go missing or dry out with heavy daily use. They are not a specialist catering product, but they are a reliable, widely used option that most kitchen teams will already be familiar with.
If you are stocking up on smallwares or putting together a wider order, the team are happy to help with any questions about what else you might need.
£5.66(£6.79 inc VAT)
These APS white chalk markers use an opaque, water-based liquid chalk to produce clean, bold writing on glass, chalkboards, and other non-porous surfaces. They come as a pack of two and are a straightforward tool for writing up daily specials, allergen notices, pricing, or any display that needs regular updating.
Because the ink is wet-wipeable, updating or correcting text takes seconds with a damp cloth — there is no residue or ghosting left behind on smooth surfaces, which keeps displays looking clean even after frequent changes. The water-based formulation also means there are no strong solvents involved, which is practical in food service environments.
- Opaque white ink gives good contrast on dark boards and glass
- Wet-wipe removal from non-porous surfaces without residue
- Water-based formula — no harsh chemicals in the working environment
- Compact marker size suits detailed writing and smaller display areas
- Pack of two provides a ready spare for busy service periods
These markers are best suited to front-of-house use — table menus, specials boards, window displays, and counter signage. They are not designed for porous surfaces such as standard paper or uncoated board, where the ink will not wipe cleanly. If you are writing on a surface for the first time, it is worth testing a small area to confirm clean removal before committing to a full display.
If you are putting together a broader range of display materials or need markers in additional colours or nib sizes, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£5.95(£7.14 inc VAT)
The Securit 15mm liquid chalk pen is a water-based ink marker designed for writing on chalkboards, blackboards, and other chalk-compatible surfaces commonly used for menus, specials boards, and signage in hospitality environments. The oblong tip produces bold, legible lettering at a size well suited to display boards that need to be read from a short distance.
Once dry, the ink is smudge resistant, which matters in a busy front-of-house setting where boards may be brushed past or handled during service. When an update is needed, the writing wipes away cleanly with a damp cloth, making it straightforward to refresh daily specials or pricing without fuss or specialist cleaning products.
- Water-based ink — no harsh solvents, suitable for indoor use
- Smudge resistant when dry for a clean, professional finish
- Wipes off easily with a damp cloth when changes are needed
- Oblong tip for bold, readable lettering on display boards
- Sold singly, so you can stock the colours you actually need
This pen is a practical choice for cafés, restaurants, pubs, and delis using chalk-effect boards for menus or promotions. It is worth noting that liquid chalk markers are designed for non-porous chalk board surfaces — results on porous or uncoated surfaces may be harder to remove cleanly.
If you are building out a full signage setup or are unsure which board surfaces are compatible, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£9.04(£10.85 inc VAT)
These Securit liquid chalk pens are a practical choice for writing on chalkboard-finish menu boards, pavement signs, table talkers, and wall-mounted display boards. The 2mm precision tip gives clean, controlled lettering and is well suited to detailed menu writing, pricing, or decorative work where neatness matters.
The ink dries to a smudge-resistant, water-resistant finish, which is useful in hospitality environments where boards are handled frequently or positioned near service areas. When it comes to updating the board, the ink wipes away cleanly with a damp cloth, so there is no need for specialist cleaning products. Each pack includes four assorted colours, giving operators some flexibility for highlighting specials, seasonal menus, or section headings.
- 2mm precision tip for neat, controlled lettering on menu boards
- Dries smudge and water resistant — practical for busy front-of-house use
- Wipes off cleanly with a damp cloth for easy board updates
- Assorted colours support visual organisation across menu sections
- Compatible with standard chalkboard and blackboard-finish surfaces
These pens are best suited to venues that update their boards regularly and want a reliable, low-effort writing solution. They are not intended for porous or uncoated surfaces, and performance will vary on boards that have not been properly sealed or primed for chalk marker use.
If you are unsure which pens or accessories work best with a particular board surface or display system, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.
£2.48(£2.98 inc VAT)
The Securit 6mm liquid chalk pen is a water-based marker designed for use on chalkboards, glass, and other non-porous writing surfaces commonly found in cafés, bars, and front-of-house areas. It produces clean, opaque white lines and is sold individually.
The chisel tip gives a consistent line width suitable for both lettering and bold strokes, making it practical for menu boards, specials displays, and table signage. Once dry, the ink resists smudging from incidental contact, which helps keep displays looking presentable during a busy service period. When a board needs updating, the ink wipes away cleanly with a damp cloth — no solvents or specialist cleaning products required.
For operators maintaining several display boards, it is worth keeping a small stock on hand, as the pens do eventually dry out with regular use. The water-based formulation means there are no strong fumes, which is a practical consideration in enclosed spaces such as counter areas or wine bars.
If you are unsure which tip size or colour suits your boards best, we are happy to help you choose the right option.
£23.64(£28.37 inc VAT)
The Securit Chalkmaster liquid chalk pens are a practical writing tool for use on chalkboards, pavement signs, table menus, and wall-mounted display boards. The 6mm chisel tip allows operators to switch between bold headline lettering and finer detail work, making them useful for both large-format boards and smaller table displays.
Liquid chalk applies cleanly and dries to a vivid finish that reads well in both indoor and outdoor settings. The ink wipes away easily from non-porous surfaces with a damp cloth, which keeps board maintenance quick between service periods or menu changes. The assorted colour pack gives front-of-house teams flexibility to highlight specials, create visual structure, or maintain consistent colour coding across different boards.
- Chisel tip suited to both broad strokes and finer lettering work
- Wipes clean from non-porous boards with a damp cloth
- Assorted colours allow visual hierarchy and menu highlighting
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor chalkboard surfaces
- Eight pens per pack for team use or multi-board setups
These pens are straightforward to use but worth noting that performance varies by surface — they work best on sealed, non-porous chalkboard material. On porous or unsealed surfaces, full removal can be more difficult. If you are unsure whether your boards are compatible, it is worth checking before committing to a full set.
Well suited to cafés, restaurants, bars, and hospitality venues that use chalkboard menus or promotional signage. If you are equipping a larger team or a multi-site operation, it may be worth discussing quantity options with us.
£13.10(£15.72 inc VAT)
These Beaumont liquid chalk pens offer a practical alternative to traditional chalk for writing on chalkboard surfaces. Coming in a pack of five colours with a 5mm nib, they are designed for use on chalkboard menus, specials boards, A-frame signs, and similar display surfaces commonly found in cafés, restaurants, and bars.
The liquid ink formula delivers a consistent, opaque line that shows clearly against dark chalkboard backgrounds. The 5mm nib is fine enough for readable lettering and simple decorative work without being so narrow that it requires a particularly steady hand. The result is a cleaner, more controlled finish than stick chalk typically allows, and without the dust.
For front-of-house teams, a few practical advantages are worth noting:
- Wipes clean from non-porous chalkboard surfaces with a damp cloth
- Multiple colours allow sections or specials to be highlighted clearly
- Consistent ink flow reduces the need to re-write smudged or faded sections
- Resealable caps help extend usable life between services
These pens are best suited to smooth, non-porous chalkboard surfaces. On porous or untreated surfaces, removal can be more difficult and may require additional effort. If your boards are regularly updated or used outdoors, it is worth confirming the surface finish before committing to liquid chalk.
This pack is a sensible choice for single-site operators maintaining a small number of boards. Larger venues managing multiple display boards across a site may find it worth stocking additional packs to keep consistent colours in rotation.
If you are unsure which pen or board combination will suit your front-of-house setup, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£5.72(£6.86 inc VAT)
The Beaumont Cyclone Chalkboard Cleaning Solution is a purpose-made cleaner designed to remove liquid chalk pen marks from blackboard surfaces. Where standard cloths and water leave ghosting or residue, a dedicated cleaning solution helps restore the board to a clean, dark finish ready for the next message.
In busy front-of-house environments — cafés, bars, restaurants, and delis — menu boards and promotional displays take regular updating. Liquid chalk pens are widely used because they produce clear, readable lettering, but they can be stubborn to remove cleanly, particularly on porous or heavily used boards. A proper cleaning solution reduces the effort involved and helps maintain a consistent, professional appearance across the working week.
Practical benefits for front-of-house teams include:
- Removes liquid chalk pen marks without heavy scrubbing
- Helps prevent ghosting and residue build-up on board surfaces
- Keeps menu boards looking well-maintained between updates
- Straightforward to use without specialist equipment
- Suitable for regular use in high-turnover hospitality settings
It is worth noting that results can vary depending on the board surface, how long the chalk pen ink has been left, and the brand of pen used. For best results, boards should be cleaned promptly after updating rather than leaving ink to dry over extended periods.
This solution is well suited to any hospitality or retail operation using liquid chalk pens on blackboard surfaces as part of their everyday customer-facing displays. If you have questions about compatibility with a particular board type or pen brand, our team are happy to advise.
£5.85(£7.02 inc VAT)
These are Securit liquid chalk markers in white, sold as a pair. Each pen uses a chisel-style nib that allows both broad strokes and finer lines depending on the angle of use, making them practical for menu boards, specials boards, table signs, and window displays in hospitality environments.
In day-to-day front-of-house use, the shake-to-activate mechanism and pump nib deliver a consistent flow of liquid chalk without patchy coverage or dry spots mid-stroke. The result is clean, legible lettering that holds up well throughout a service period without fading or smearing under normal conditions.
- Chisel tip allows variable line weight from thin detail to broad headings
- Shake-and-pump activation gives consistent flow from first use
- Wipes cleanly from non-porous surfaces including glass and standard chalkboard
- White ink shows clearly on dark chalkboard and blackboard-painted surfaces
- Sold as a two-pack, useful to have a spare in service
These markers are intended for use on non-porous surfaces — sealed chalkboards, glass, and similar smooth finishes. They are not suitable for raw or unsealed chalk-paint surfaces, where full removal can be more difficult. A damp cloth or board spray is generally sufficient for cleaning on compatible surfaces.
Well suited to cafés, bars, restaurants, and delis that update boards regularly and need a reliable, consistent marker. If you write boards infrequently or need a more permanent finish, a different product type may be worth considering.
If you're unsure which marker or nib size is right for your boards, the team is happy to point you in the right direction.
£23.64(£28.37 inc VAT)
These are Securit's white liquid chalk pens in a 6mm chisel tip, sold as a pack of eight. They're designed for writing on chalk boards, pavement signs, table menus, wall boards, and any other non-porous board surface used in hospitality and food service environments.
The chisel tip gives a clean, consistent line and allows for both broad strokes and finer detailing depending on the angle used. The ink is smudge resistant once dry, which matters in busy front-of-house settings where boards are handled regularly or positioned where customers brush past. Writing wipes away cleanly with a damp cloth when menus or promotions change.
- Chisel tip suitable for both bold lettering and finer detail work
- Smudge resistant once dry — holds up well in front-of-house conditions
- Wipes clean from non-porous boards with a damp cloth
- White ink shows clearly on dark chalk board surfaces
- Sold in a pack of eight — practical for teams or multiple boards
These pens work on pavement signs, A-boards, interior wall boards, and table-top menu boards. They are not suitable for porous or uncoated surfaces. If you're unsure whether your boards are compatible, or if you need coloured options or different tip sizes alongside these, we're happy to point you in the right direction.
£2.60(£3.12 inc VAT)
The Securit white chalk marker is a liquid chalk pen designed for writing and drawing on non-porous chalkboard surfaces. It produces clean, bright white lines and is suited to both indoor and outdoor use, making it a practical choice for pavement boards, tabletop menus, wall boards, and specials boards in cafés, restaurants, bars, and similar hospitality environments.
The chisel tip gives operators flexibility — use the broad edge for bold lettering and headers, or the narrow edge for finer detail. The liquid chalk formula delivers consistent coverage without the dust associated with traditional chalk, which is a practical advantage in food service areas where hygiene and cleanliness matter.
- Works on standard non-porous chalkboard surfaces, including pavement signs
- Dust-free liquid chalk formula keeps surfaces and surroundings clean
- Chisel tip supports both broad strokes and finer lettering
- Suitable for indoor and outdoor use
- Wipes cleanly from compatible surfaces with a damp cloth
It is worth confirming that the surface you intend to write on is non-porous — liquid chalk markers do not perform as intended on porous or uncoated surfaces, and removal can be difficult if the wrong surface is used. If you are sourcing markers alongside boards or planning a signage setup for a new site, the team is happy to help ensure everything is compatible.
£6.25(£7.50 inc VAT)
Rainbow Chalk's blackboard paint is a matt black paint formulated specifically to create a writing surface compatible with liquid chalk markers. Applied to walls, boards, wood, MDF, glass, or similar smooth surfaces, it produces a consistent chalk-receptive finish that allows marker ink to sit cleanly and wipe away without staining.
In a catering context, it's most commonly used to create or refresh menu boards, specials boards, and display surfaces. The 250ml size is practical for smaller applications — a single board or a modest wall panel — and the matt finish avoids the glare that can make chalk writing difficult to read in bright front-of-house lighting.
A few practical points worth noting before you apply it:
- Most surfaces benefit from two or more coats for an even, consistent finish
- Allow adequate curing time before writing — rushing this step can affect how well marker ink wipes away cleanly
- Best results on smooth, sealed surfaces rather than bare or heavily textured ones
- The 250ml tin covers a modest area — larger boards or wall sections will require additional tins
This product works as part of a broader menu display setup, pairing well with liquid chalk markers and suitable display frames. If you're unsure how much paint you'll need for your intended surface, or whether this finish suits the substrate you're working with, feel free to get in touch before ordering.
£24.02(£28.82 inc VAT)
The Securit Posterman all weather markers are chalk-ink pens designed for use on wet-erase writing boards commonly found in catering and hospitality environments. The assorted colour pack contains eight markers, giving operators a range of colours to work with across menus, specials boards, table signs, and pavement displays.
These markers are formulated to perform reliably in outdoor and high-humidity conditions, making them a practical choice for pavement boards that are exposed to variable weather. The oblong tip produces consistent lettering and is well suited to the kind of bold, legible signage that needs to be readable at a distance. Ink wipes cleanly from non-porous board surfaces with a damp cloth, which helps keep boards looking presentable between updates.
- Works on pavement, table, and wall boards
- All weather formulation suitable for outdoor use
- Oblong tip for broad, legible lettering
- Eight markers in assorted colours per pack
- Wet-erase ink wipes cleanly from non-porous surfaces
These are a straightforward consumable, but if you are unsure which board surfaces they are compatible with or need advice on building out a full signage setup, the team is happy to help point you in the right direction.
£13.10(£15.72 inc VAT)
These are liquid chalk pens from Beaumont, supplied as a pack of five in white with a 5mm chisel tip. They're designed for writing and illustrating on chalkboard surfaces — specials boards, A-frames, table menus, window displays, and similar hospitality signage. Unlike traditional chalk, the liquid ink produces a clean, consistent line without crumbling or smudging during application.
The 5mm chisel nib gives a reasonable degree of versatility. Held at different angles, it produces both broader strokes for headings and finer lines for detail work or smaller lettering. This makes the pens practical for operators who want to produce legible, presentable boards without needing specialist tools or artistic experience.
- Clean ink application with no chalk dust or breakage
- Chisel tip supports both bold headers and finer detail writing
- Pack of five reduces the risk of running short during a busy week
- Suited to smooth non-porous chalkboard surfaces and most chalk-effect boards
- White ink shows clearly on standard black chalkboard finishes
It's worth noting that liquid chalk pens perform best on smooth, sealed chalkboard surfaces. On rough or porous boards, removal can be more difficult. Always test on a small area first if you're unsure about your board's surface. Erasure is typically straightforward on quality boards using a damp cloth.
These pens are a practical choice for cafés, bars, restaurants, and front-of-house teams who maintain regular written boards. If you update your boards frequently and need a consistent, professional finish, they're a reliable everyday option. If you have questions about suitability for a particular board type, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£18.75(£22.50 inc VAT)
These Beaumont liquid chalk pens are a practical solution for writing on chalkboards, A-frames, window surfaces, and menu boards. The pack contains five coloured pens, giving front-of-house teams enough variety to differentiate sections, highlight specials, or add visual interest to displays without buying multiple individual pens.
The 15mm nib is broad enough for bold headline lettering while still allowing reasonable control for supporting text or decorative work. This makes the pens reasonably versatile across different board sizes, from small counter cards to larger outdoor A-frames. Liquid chalk produces a cleaner, more consistent line than traditional chalk and wipes away from non-porous surfaces without leaving heavy residue.
For hospitality operators updating boards regularly — daily specials, seasonal menus, promotional messaging — liquid chalk pens are considerably more practical than stick chalk. The ink stays legible through a busy service, holds up reasonably well in covered outdoor settings, and can be removed cleanly with a damp cloth on suitable surfaces.
It is worth confirming that your boards are non-porous before use. Liquid chalk pens are designed for glass, slate, or coated chalkboard surfaces. On uncoated or porous surfaces, the ink can be difficult to remove fully.
These pens are well suited to cafés, bars, pubs, restaurants, and any venue that uses chalkboard-style signage as part of its front-of-house presentation. If your operation involves very frequent board changes or requires fine-detail writing consistently, it may be worth considering whether a finer nib size would better suit your needs alongside this pack.
If you are unsure which pen size works best for your boards, our team is happy to help you make the right choice.
£5.95(£7.14 inc VAT)
The Securit Posterman is a liquid chalk marker designed for use on non-porous board surfaces, including pavement boards, table menus, and wall-mounted chalkboards. The white ink delivers clear, high-contrast writing on dark board surfaces, and the all-weather formulation means it holds up reliably when used on outdoor or semi-exposed boards — useful for pavement signage in entranceways or covered outdoor areas.
The oblong tip gives operators a degree of flexibility, allowing both broad strokes for bold lettering and finer lines when rotated. It performs consistently across Securit's own board range and is broadly compatible with most smooth, non-porous chalkboard surfaces. Ink wipes away cleanly with a damp cloth, leaving no permanent residue when used on appropriate surfaces.
- All-weather ink suitable for indoor and outdoor board use
- Oblong tip for variable line width
- High-contrast white on dark board surfaces
- Clean wipe-off with a damp cloth on non-porous surfaces
- Sold singly — easy to replace individual markers as needed
This marker is a practical choice for cafés, restaurants, pubs, and food service operators who use chalkboard-style menus or promotional signage as part of their front-of-house presentation. It is a single marker sold individually, which suits operators who want to replace colours selectively or trial the product before purchasing in quantity.
If you are equipping a larger front-of-house setup or need guidance on compatible board types, feel free to get in touch with the team.
£15.43(£18.52 inc VAT)
The Securit Chalkboard Cleaner is a quick-drying spray solution formulated specifically to remove Posterman liquid chalk marker from chalkboard surfaces. It is designed for use alongside the Securit range of boards and markers, making it a practical companion product for operators who rely on chalkboards for menus, specials, or signage.
In a busy front-of-house environment where boards are updated regularly — sometimes several times a day — a cleaner that works reliably and dries quickly without leaving residue helps keep signage looking presentable without adding time to the process. It is straightforward to use: spray onto the board surface and wipe clean.
- Formulated specifically for Posterman liquid chalk markers
- Quick-drying formula reduces downtime between updates
- Suitable for regular daily use in front-of-house settings
- 750ml bottle provides a practical volume for ongoing use
This cleaner is well suited to cafés, restaurants, pubs, and hospitality venues that use chalkboard menus or promotional signage on a regular basis. If you have questions about compatibility with other marker types or board surfaces, the team is happy to help.
