Paper Rollers
A roll of paper on the wall, pulled down when you need it. Write a menu, a note, a shopping list, or let a kid draw across a metre of it — then tear it off and start again.
No letters to set, no printing, no limit on what you can write or draw. The simplest way we know to put a changing message on a wall.
The range
Studio Roller — the full-size dispenser, in three widths: 17.7″, 23.6″ and 35.4″ (45, 60 and 90 cm). An aluminum bracket holds the roll, which pulls down and tears off against the bar. Ships with a 75 m kraft roll, and takes universal rolls up to 8.7″ (22 cm) in diameter — including standard 18″, 24″ and 36″ sizes from any supplier.
Used as a café menu board, a studio notice board, a kitchen message wall, and a drawing surface for kids.
Daily Roller — the compact version at 8″ (20.3 cm) wide. Sized for notes, shopping lists and messages rather than a full menu, so it fits in a kitchen, hallway or beside a desk.
Kraft Paper Roll — replacement paper for the Studio Roller.
Daily Roller Rolls — replacement paper for the Daily Roller, in a 3-pack.
Common questions
Which size should I choose?
It depends on what you're writing. The Daily Roller at 8″ (20.3 cm) suits lists, notes and short messages. The Studio Roller comes in three widths — 45 cm for a compact space, 60 cm for a standard menu, and 90 cm where you want a full wall of paper for a large menu or drawing.
Measure your wall before ordering: the Studio Roller brackets are slightly wider than the paper, at 47.5, 62.5 and 92.5 cm respectively.
How is it mounted?
The bracket screws to the wall and must be mounted horizontally — the bar holding the roll sits in the bracket under gravity rather than clipping in, which is also what makes the roll lift straight out when you swap it. Screws are included.
Can I use my own paper?
Yes. The Studio Roller takes universal paper rolls up to 8.7″ (22 cm) in diameter, including standard 18″, 24″ and 36″ widths, so you're not tied to our refills. Rolls between 50 m and 150 m work best.
What pens can I use?
Chalk pens, ballpoint and felt-tip all work well on kraft paper. Avoid inks and permanent markers when the roller is wall-mounted, as they can seep through and mark the wall behind.
Can a paper roller be used outdoors?
The aluminum bracket won't rust, but paper isn't suited to outdoor conditions — so these are indoor displays.
How long does a roll last?
The Studio Roller ships with a 75 m roll. How long that lasts depends on how much you pull each time, but a café changing its menu daily typically gets months from one roll.
How does a paper roller compare to a letter board?
A roller is handwritten, so there's no character limit, no letters to run out of, and you can draw as well as write — a new menu takes as long as it takes to write it. A letter board gives a consistent typeset look but is slower to change and limited to the letters in the set.
Many venues use both: a letter board for the standing menu, a roller for the daily specials.
