How to create a permanent grid on a Whiteboard
Whiteboards have proved an innovation we can no longer imagine life without. And in turn, opening the door to further innovations. Introducing: Gridding tape! Ideal for creating a permanent grid on your whiteboard, providing a desirable alternative from the constantly fading ink-drawn grids you were previously subjected to – lets put an end to the misery.
Uses of gridding tape:
Versatile in its usage, gridding tape can be stretched as far as your imagination allows. Some common uses however are:
• Calendars
• Presentations for creating graphs, flow charts, diagrams and even graphics
• Team names for a quiz
• Sporting events
• Staves for music notation
• Message boards
• Chore lists
• Games
With so many experiencing a shift into working from home due to COVID-19, gridding tape may just prove as your organisational saving grace; for instances such as divvying up daily tasks or for organising teamwork.
Similarly, for those facing the daunting and relatively alien task of home-schooling, gridding tape is a great solution for encouraging structure in ways such as organising of school instructions and homework – especially if you have children of different ages. And let’s not forget their relevance when the chips are down, for knocking together a quick game of naughts and crosses.

Our range of gridding tape rolls are sold in widths of 1.5mm, 3mm and 6mm on 16 metre rolls. If you wish to display intricate diagrams or grids on your whiteboard, consider mixing tape widths to ensure the relevant topics are highlighted and stand out from the other text on the board.
This can also be achieved by experimenting with the colours on offer (Black, blue, green and red). Then as if by magic, the monotonous task board you’ve been turning a blind eye to is given a new lease of life, along with your morale.

Directions for use
How hard really is it to apply a bit of tape to a whiteboard you may wonder? Well, without proper application you could end up doing more damage than good to your board. Simply follow the below steps to achieve gridded perfection straight off the bat:
1. The first step is preparation. Before your excitement runs away with you, you must ensure your board is fully ink and speck free to guarantee a seamless application. For tips on cleaning your whiteboard click here
2. Ensuring straight lines while creating your grid isn’t as straightforward as it seems. And lines that are off are only going to become a focal point for all the wrong reasons. The tip here being, lay out a skeleton of the design beforehand using a piece of string alongside a ruler before you commit with the tape. If attempting a more intricate design, consider printing out a mock grid and following along.
3. As you apply the tape to the board, follow the lines with your finger as you go to prevent any un-sightly bumps appearing on your board. This may be made easier laying your whiteboard flat on a table before mounting it to the wall, advised but not essential.
