The Papers & Boards: Sources & Origins A1 poster is a vibrant and informative classroom resource that clearly explains how paper and board are produced from cellulose fibres. Designed specifically for Design & Technology lessons, this poster guides students through each stage of the papermaking process—from harvesting raw materials to debarking, chipping, pulping, bleaching and pressing the fibres into long rolls of paper ready to be cut to size.

The chart also introduces the importance of recycled paper and board, helping students understand environmental sustainability, energy use and the limitations of recycling cycles. Each step is illustrated with real-world imagery, making the topic easier to visualise and understand during theory and practical lessons.

With its clean layout, curriculum-aligned content and classroom-friendly design, this A1 poster is ideal for:

• Design & Technology classrooms
• Materials and manufacturing units
• STEM hubs, workshops and learning spaces
• Daily reference, revision and independent study

The large format ensures the content is highly readable from anywhere in the room, making it a valuable long-term teaching aid for developing strong foundational knowledge about materials, sustainability and manufacturing.

Important Update on Lamination:

We are transitioning to a new, thinner lamination as part of our supplier’s commitment to sustainable and cost-effective production. While you may receive a mix of older and newer laminations during this period, rest assured that both versions maintain the same high-quality standard you expect from Daydream Education.

We appreciate your feedback on the updated lamination to help us refine this change. Feel free to share your thoughts—we value your input!

Thank you for supporting our move towards more sustainable practices.
