If you’re a teacher, chances are you’ve heard of our Better Than Paper® Bulletin Board Paper. It’s every educator’s secret to Pinterest-worthy classroom displays that last all year long.

We’ve rounded up the most frequent questions we receive about this revolutionary material to help you decide how best to use it for a spring refresh, summer displays, or even for our type A friends to start Back-to-School planning.

What is Better Than Paper used for?
It’s designed as a durable bulletin board background, but it also works on doors, for display walls, as wipeable table covers, to create instant “whiteboards” on walls, and as a decorative cover for old or damaged walls and whiteboards.

How do I install it? 
It is not self-adhesive, so we recommend using staples, hot glue, or specialized mounting tape to hang. Pro tip: try putting painter’s tape or mauvulus tape down on sensitive surfaces first, then using Better Than Paper Tape, hot glue, or magnets on top of the painter’s tape to hang without damage.

What size is each roll?
Each standard-sized roll measures 4′ x 12′, and our Fun Size rolls measure 18″ x 12′.

Is it reusable? 
Yes! You can roll it up or store it flat to reuse each school year, saving money for essential supplies or new themed decor.

What can I write on it? 
You can use dry-erase markers or liquid chalk markers, which can be wiped off with a damp cloth.

Is it durable? 
Yes, it’s made from a thick, fabric-like material that resists tears, rips, and wrinkles, but cuts easily with scissors.

Does it leave staple holes? 
Nope. Pin and staple holes disappear, so you can swap out and reposition decor until its just right.

Is it fire-safe? 
Yes! It has been tested, and is not considered to be a flammable solid material according to the Consumer Products Safety Commission 16 CFR 1500.3(c)(6)(vi).

Is it good for humid or hot settings? 
You bet. Better Than Paper is water resistant, so it doesn’t warp, curl, or rip. It’s great near sensory areas, sinks, water tables, or in humid classrooms. Plus, colors stay vibrant and avoid fading in the sun.
