Acrylic Honours Boards Explained
Acrylic honours boards are made from perspex (acrylic), typically 8mm thick. The edges of the acrylic are polished for a smooth glassy look.
Names, dates, logos, and other content is usually applied to the front of the board as cut vinyl lettering / graphics.
This gives a high quality modern honours board which also allows for the board to be easily updated in the future.
The rear of the panel can be finished in an etched glass effect film which gives a lovely neutral background and allows the text, names etc to be easily read.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below you'll find a complete collection of the most commonly asked questions from people, just like you, who are looking to purchase a new acrylic honours board.
FAQ: Cost & Budget
How much does an acrylic honours board cost?
Prices depend on the size of the board, and whether any crests or background films are being applied to the board. Smaller boards start from a few hundred pounds, while larger boards cost more. We’ll always provide a clear, no-obligation quote once we know your requirements.
What is the ordering process?
It's actually very simple. We just need to know what you want on the board (titles, names etc) and whether you need any specific background colours (etched / coloured) or if you need any logos. We can then create a draft design for you along with a quotation.
Do you provide “from” prices or bespoke quotes?
We can provide guide “from” prices, but because every board is made to order it’s best to have a quick chat with us. We’ll confirm an exact quote once we've worked out the design for your board.
Lettering, Fonts & Logo's
With over 40,000 fonts in our library, 300+ text & background colour options, and high resolution print capabilities we're able to offer a huge range of custom design options.
WHat font will look best?
We've over 44,000 fonts in our ever growing library to enable us to give you the perfect font for your board. Popular font options are Helvetica, OpenSans and Times New Roman. Sans serif fonts (fonts without the little 'tails' on the letters) give a cleaner look and make the board easier to read. Serif fonts (like Times New Roman) give a more traditional look.
If it seems a little overwhelming, be assured our graphic designers expertise is free of charge and we'll always help and advise as much / little as needed.
What colour text should i have?
To ensure maximum legibility you need a contrast between background and text. If you're purchasing a clear board, then you'll need to take into account the wall colour behind the board, else it'll be the background colour of the board itself which needs to be considered. Darker colours often pair well with gold, white, or cream lettering, while lighter colours benefit from black or darker text. Etched / frosted films look great with matt black text.
We offer the largest range of colours with over 300 choices. Please check our honours board gallery to see various examples.
What size lettering is best?
Typically the lettering on our honours boards are around 12 - 15mm in height. This gives a nice lettering height which is readable in most situations. If your board is mounted high up or in a large hall, a larger font size and high-contrast lettering will boost readability. Our graphic designers can take this into account when working with you.
