Board titles that look printed.Because they are.

For a classroom board title, capitals between 10 and 20 cm tall read well from across the room. Use the bigger end for corridor and hall boards. WallKiwi offers capitals 10, 15 or 20 cm tall, or give your board's width and the letters are sized so the longest line fills it.

As a rule of thumb, letters around 10 cm tall can be read from the back of a typical classroom, and 15 cm or more works for long corridors and halls. Bold, simple letter shapes help as much as size does.

It depends on the size. Small 10 cm letters share a sheet, while 20 cm capitals may take a sheet each. WallKiwi packs the pieces onto as few sheets as they fit, portrait or landscape, and the guide tells you how many sheets one letter per sheet would have taken.

Print the letter in parts across sheets and join them from behind with tape. WallKiwi does this automatically: a letter bigger than A4 prints in parts with a dashed trim line, so you trim the join and tape it from the back.

Choose your words, pick a clear, bold letter style, print each letter large on card and cut it out. Keep the same style and colours across the whole heading. With WallKiwi you type the heading, choose one of three designed looks and print shaped letters ready to cut.

Bold, rounded letters with clear shapes are easiest to read from a distance, especially for younger pupils. Avoid thin or very decorative styles for long words. WallKiwi draws three designed looks for your words, each showing a capital A and a small g, so you can judge readability before you choose.

WallKiwi's example lettering packs, such as Welcome, Our Class and Reading Corner, are free to download and print. Designing a heading from your own words in a designed look uses credits.

Yes. WallKiwi can add a small picture before the first word and after the last, and a small matching motif in every word gap. You can switch them off and use plain gaps instead.

Yes. Letters print exactly as you type them. A capital and a small letter are drawn as different pieces, and small letters are cut shorter than capitals, as they would be in print, with tails like g, p and y hanging below the line.

Run a strip of masking tape across the board as your line. Stand each letter on it, with tails like g and y hanging below, then remove the tape once everything is fixed. Lay the heading out on a table first so the words read the right way.

Keep the gap between letters even and make the gap between words about the width of one letter. Find the middle of the board and work out from there so the heading sits centred. WallKiwi's guide gives the spacing and where to start so it lands in the middle.

White card between 160 and 220gsm keeps letters flat on the board and stops them curling. Print at 100%, never fit to page, or the letters come out smaller than the guide expects.

Use sticky putty or removable adhesive tabs on painted walls, and pins, staples or double-sided tape on display boards. Test a small area first on fresh paint.

Laminating helps letters you will reuse every year, such as Welcome or your class name. Cut round each letter after laminating and leave a thin sealed edge so it does not peel.

Up to three lines and 60 characters, using letters from any alphabet, numbers, spaces and the marks & ! ? ' - . , and :.

So they match. If your heading uses the letter e five times, it is drawn once, checked once and printed five times. A capital and a small letter are drawn separately.
