Product Information
Full details
The Olympia Mini Blackboard Display Sign (MBBS79) is designed for cafe owners, bakery managers, and caterers looking to add a professional, artisanal touch to their food labeling. These stem-mounted signs ensure pricing and menu descriptions remain highly visible to customers, providing a durable and reusable alternative to disposable paper tags. While the boards are excellent for aesthetic displays, users should note that they require specific chalkboard cleaners or wet cloths for maintenance to ensure the finish remains smudge-free over time.

FAQs
Are these signs dishwasher safe?
No, the Olympia Mini Blackboard Display Signs should be hand-cleaned with a damp cloth or specialized chalkboard cleaner only.
Can I use standard classroom chalk?
While standard chalk can be used, liquid chalk markers are recommended for better visibility and easier cleaning.
How high is the sign once mounted?
The sign is designed to provide extra height for visibility, though exact measurements depend on how deep the stem is inserted into your display.
Is the blackboard surface magnetic?
No, the surface is a non-magnetic finish designed solely for writing with chalk or liquid chalk markers.
Can these be used outdoors?
They are designed for indoor cafe and buffet use; extended exposure to extreme outdoor weather may damage the finish.
Troubleshooting
Ghosting or residue left after erasing
Use a specialized chalkboard cleaner to dissolve leftover marker pigment rather than just wiping with water.
Difficulty staying upright in soft food
Ensure the stem is pushed through a firm layer or tray liner, or use a small culinary base if the product surface is too loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Olympia Mini Blackboard is straightforward; simply place the stem directly into the display tray or a stable base. To ensure the longest product life, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a specialized chalkboard cleaner like Securit or a damp, non-abrasive cloth to remove old markings.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use heavy-duty scouring pads or industrial solvents, as these can strip the blackboard coating.
- Storage: When not in use, store the signs in a dry area to prevent moisture buildup on the stems.
- Markers: Use high-quality liquid chalk markers for best results, as standard classroom chalk may be difficult to remove if left on the surface for extended periods.
