Could this be used as a chalkboard, or is it best to stick with contact paper that's advertised as "chalkboard paper?"

I would use the contact paper that's advertised as chalkboard paper. It would probably work a lot better as a chalkboard.

No, it will not work as chalkboard... best to stick with the "chalkboard paper". Good luck with your project !

Hi, sorry I guess we never tried it. But I don't think it is. It holds paper on one sideand the other is the chalkboard like surface. It has held up and was a good purchase overallHope that helps.

I'd recommend a very heavy paperboard as a backer/backboard. Then use this as an attachment board to tape/attach your signage on. I've also used thin corrugated plastic and make signs out of that. Measure the thickness to know how thick the media can be.

No, it is not magnetic, and it comes rolled up in a box. However, you could probably buy a magnetic dry erase board of the same size to mount it on which might work just as well. If you decide to go that route, you might consider saving yourself a little time & frustration and just take it to a frame shop or craft store and let them stick it on the board for you since they have the tools to get it on there straight and without bubbles and creases. Just an idea. Cheers!

It could be used for greeting cards but I wouldn't use it. I would use a heavier paper.

I bought some Contact brand paper and I think this sticks better. I've only had mine on a month, but if I wanted to get it up I know I could still pull it off. But I don't know about long term.

Yes, staples and pins will easily go through the paper so those can help it stick on something porous like a cork board. I ended up using clear packing tape to help support the adhesive which isn't too strong on its own.

You "can" with chalk, though I would only say that might work if you're doing the chalk markers. Dry erase should work fine. The surface is a shiny, slick surface. The maps are high quality and the company responds quickly to email. If you have lingering concerns, contact them. Their info is listed on Amazon.

Chalk markers work fine and show up much clearer than actual chalk. I would suggest rubbing actual chalk all over it then wiping it off with your finger just to give it that actual chalkboard look. Then using marker over top of it.

There are several kinds of labels available. I suspect you might have to experiment to see which labels might work best for your application.

It is not contact paper, but rather something a little bit thicker and more akin to laminate. It was not a vast improvment, but it is a little more wear resistant than standard contact paper. I repair these infernal machines and have put this little desk up to a lot of scratche and nicks; it's been worth the price.

The "chalk board" is actually plastic. Very hard to write with actual chalk. Would work best with liquid chalk.

As an artist, no, I would not use this in that type of way. It's actually very thin and flimsy. And maybe, because I'm old school, my standard for poster board is too high. For backing posters I'd go for something more substantial, like even a chip or matting board.

Not sure about CriCut. We have used it with a Silhouette. I think they are very similar. We were able to do some pretty cute dinosaurs with this chalkboard contact paper to make box labels. I don't see why it would be any different than adhesive backed vinyl.

Not sure where it says to apply contact paper but it is not necessary. I suggest taping the decal in place to make sure it is level (with backing on), use a pencil to mark edges on wall, remove backing, place on wall where pencil marks are, use the edge of a credit card to smooth out and press decal against wall, remove front paper.

Not completely sure, but it's pretty sticky stuff. You may have to use extra squares, depending on the size and weight of the paper. I would try it.

I think so, it's not a true chalkboard surface but it's held up well. We used the smaller boxes of chalk as opposed to the sidewalk chalk. Hope this helps. Good luck.
