Popular options include hardwood (maple, walnut, bamboo), slate/stone, acrylic, and powder-coated or raw-steel styles. Shapes range from classic paddles and rectangles to custom die-cut silhouettes with 3–6 glass positions.
Custom Branded Flight Boards
Serve tastings with style using custom flight boards from Grandstand. Perfect for breweries, taprooms, distilleries, coffee bars, and tasting rooms, our boards showcase multiple pours at once—pairing a polished presentation with high-visibility branding that invites photos and repeat orders.
Choose premium woods (maple, walnut, bamboo), rustic or charred finishes, slate or stone, acrylic, or powder-coated metal. Configure 3–6 positions with standard or custom cutouts to fit your preferred glassware. Decorate with laser engraving, UV full-color printing, or heat-cured ink screen prints (material dependent). From tap lists and sampler flights to limited releases and events, flight boards make your brand part of the experience.

Flight Boards — Frequently Asked Questions
Laser engraving delivers a crisp, durable mark on wood and slate. UV full-color printing captures gradients and fine detail on flat surfaces. Heat-cured ink screen prints provide bold, solid branding—method selection depends on material and layout.
Cutouts can be sized for common sampler, taster, or rocks-style glasses; we’ll match your preferred glass diameter and number of positions. Mixed-diameter layouts and etched/printed position numbers are available on select builds.
Wipe clean between uses and avoid prolonged soaking. Hand-wash recommended for wood; food-safe finishes help resist moisture. Slate, acrylic, and metal boards can be wiped or gently rinsed—always follow care notes provided with your proof.
Many flight board programs complete in ~3–5 weeks after final art approval. Custom shapes, mixed materials, or bundled sets with glassware may extend timelines. Minimums vary by material and decoration—ask for current specs by style.
