How to choose the right flip chart stand

Portability
If you need to move the stand between rooms, venues or offices, choose the telescopic leg model — the legs fold flat in seconds and the stand is light enough to carry easily. If the stand will stay in one room and be used daily, the castor model is the better choice — the lockable wheels make it easy to reposition within the room without lifting.

Writing surface
All BestBoard flip chart stands include a built-in dry-erase whiteboard surface. If you only need to write on the board or use a paper pad, the non-magnetic model is sufficient. If you regularly need to attach printed documents, charts, reference sheets or notes directly to the board surface using magnets, choose the magnetic model.

Frequency of use
For occasional use in boardrooms, meeting rooms and home offices, the telescopic leg models offer the best value — lightweight, compact and easy to store when not in use. For daily high-frequency use in training rooms, classrooms and corporate facilities, the castor models are built for heavier duty with a more stable base and lockable wheels that keep the stand firmly in place during presentations.

Budget
Telescopic non-magnetic from R1,279 — best value for occasional portable use. Telescopic magnetic from R1,799 — portable with magnets. Castor non-magnetic from R3,378 — heavy-duty daily use. Castor magnetic from R4,927 — maximum flexibility for corporate training environments.

Flip Chart FAQs

What size paper do BestBoard flip chart stands take?
All BestBoard flip chart stands are compatible with standard A1 flip chart paper pads (594mm x 841mm). The spring-loaded paper gripper and screw-on paper holder are designed to hold standard A1 pads securely. A1 flip chart paper pads are available separately on our website.

What is the difference between telescopic leg and castor model flip chart stands?
Telescopic leg stands are lightweight and portable — the legs fold flat for easy transport between rooms or venues, making them ideal for boardrooms, home offices and presenters who move between locations. Castor model stands are heavier-duty with lockable wheels, designed for training rooms and classrooms where the stand stays in one building and needs to handle daily high-frequency use.

What is the difference between magnetic and non-magnetic flip chart stands?
Non-magnetic flip chart stands have a standard dry-erase whiteboard surface for writing alongside your paper pad. Magnetic flip chart stands have a steel-backed whiteboard surface that also holds magnets, allowing you to attach printed documents, charts and reference materials directly to the board surface. If you regularly display printed materials during presentations, the magnetic model is the better choice.

Can I use a flip chart stand without a paper pad?
Yes. All BestBoard flip chart stands have a built-in dry-erase whiteboard surface that works independently of the paper pad. You can write directly on the board surface and wipe clean between sessions — the paper holder simply clips a pad to the top of the board when needed.

Do the stands come assembled?
All BestBoard flip chart stands arrive partially assembled and are quick to set up — typically 5 to 10 minutes. Each stand includes a fold-away pen rail and screw-on paper holder. Full assembly instructions are included in the box.

Are flip chart paper pads included?
No — flip chart paper pads are sold separately. A1 flip chart paper pads (30 sheets, 80gsm) are available on our website. All stands are compatible with standard A1 pads available from any stationery supplier in South Africa.

Do you deliver flip chart stands nationwide in South Africa?
Yes. BestBoard delivers flip chart stands nationwide across South Africa including Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town, Durban and Port Elizabeth. Free delivery applies to all orders over R950.
