Plico Clipboard System For Skadis

PLICO Board System

About the project

PLICO is a customisable clipboard system designed to attach to IKEA SKÅDIS pegboards.

The idea came from a simple need: I have several stacks of A5 paper that I wanted to use more often. I regularly use paper to take notes, write down ideas, sketch and brainstorm, especially while working at my workbench, where I have a SKÅDIS pegboard mounted on the wall.

I wanted to keep my sketches and notes organised while having them easily accessible whenever inspiration strikes. That's how PLICO came to life.

The system includes two board sizes, A5 and A6. The larger format is ideal for sketches, notes and brainstorming, while the smaller A6 version is a perfect companion for to-do lists and quick reminders.

What I particularly like is the ability to keep everything within reach while customising each board with printable labels. You can organise your boards by topic, such as Sketch, To Do, Ideas or Study, and use different colours to identify each category at a glance.

I hope you will find PLICO as useful and convenient as I do!

What's included

The PLICO Board System includes:

• A5 Board: for sketches, notes, brainstorming and larger sheets.

• A6 Board: a compact format, ideal for to-do lists and quick notes.

• Labels: pre-labelled options for different topics, plus a blank label that you can customise yourself.

• Clips: designed to hold your paper securely in place.

You can mix and match board, clip and label colours to create your own organisation system.

How to assemble

Labels

Print your preferred label and insert it into the slot on the side of the board. Apply a little pressure to fit it into place.

The print orientation is intentional: printing the label vertically gives it the flexibility needed to fit securely into its slot.

Clips

The clips use the same principle. Their print orientation gives them the flexibility needed for installation and everyday use, while helping prevent breakage.

Each clip fits into a dedicated slot at the top rear of the board and holds the paper securely from the front.

Paper alignment

At the bottom of each board, a small raised edge helps align the sheets and keeps them in position.

Pegboard compatibility

The boards feature mounting holes based on the IKEA SKÅDIS pegboard system.

You can also experiment with the holes to add your own accessories. Why not design a pen or pencil holder, or a small mount for sticky notes?
