Finally, a Notice Board That Doesn’t Smell — Introducing the Savic Odorless Pin Notice Board
The Smell That Has Been Hiding in Plain Sight
Walk into any office, school, or reception area in Kenya and take a deep breath near the notice board. Chances are, you will catch that sharp, unpleasant chemical odour that has become so familiar most people no longer even notice it.
That smell comes from the chemical preservatives that manufacturers use in standard locally made softboards to prevent mould and extend shelf life. The result is a product that slowly releases harmful fumes into the very rooms where people work, study, and spend most of their day — day after day, year after year.
At Savic Digital Ltd, we asked a simple but powerful question: why should a notice board make your room smell bad? The answer is — it should not. And now, with our new Odorless Pin Notice Board, it does not have to.

“Why should a notice board announce its presence through a bad smell? We built one that lets your messages do the talking instead.”

Introducing the Savic Odorless Pin Notice Board — Available in Three Versions
The Savic Odorless Pin Notice Board is a first-of-its-kind innovation in Kenya’s office and stationery products market. Manufactured without the harsh chemical preservatives found in ordinary softboards, it delivers a completely smell-free experience from the very first day — and keeps it that way for years.
We have made it available in three versions so that every space gets exactly the right solution:
VERSION 1 — Single-Sided Odorless Pin Board
The classic wall-mounted notice board, completely reimagined without the chemical smell. If you need a clean, professional, odorless display surface for a corridor, office wall, classroom, or reception area, this is your board. Simple. Reliable. Smell-free.
Best for: reception areas, corridors, small offices, and individual classrooms.
VERSION 2 — Double-Sided Odorless Pin Board ⭐ Most Popular
Why settle for one side when you can use both? The double-sided version gives you the same premium odorless softboard surface on both sides of the board, doubling your display space without doubling your wall use.
Perfect for open-plan offices, shared workspaces, staffrooms, and any area where people approach the board from more than one direction. Both sides are completely odorless, both hold pins firmly, and both look clean and professional.
Best for: open-plan offices, staffrooms, libraries, and high-traffic shared spaces.
VERSION 3 — Combo: Odorless Pin Board + Whiteboard on a Floor-Standing Easel
This is the most exciting and versatile product in the range. One side is your premium odorless pin board. Flip it around and the other side is a smooth, high-quality dry-erase whiteboard. The whole board sits on a sturdy floor-standing easel/tripod stand — so there is no drilling, no wall fixtures, and no permanent installation needed.
Set it up in seconds. Use it for pinning notices and documents on one side. Flip it to write, sketch, brainstorm, or present on the other. Then fold the easel and carry the whole unit to another room or venue. It is the most flexible communication tool any office, school, or training room can own.
Best for: offices, boardrooms, classrooms, training rooms, conference centres, and anywhere that needs both a whiteboard and a pin board.

“One product. Two surfaces. Zero smell. The Savic Combo is the only notice board your office or classroom will ever need.”
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
How the Combo Version Works — Step by Step
Step 1: Unfold the floor-standing easel
Open the tripod legs, lock them in position, and place the unit wherever you need it. No tools. No measuring. No wall damage.
Step 2: Mount your board
Secure the double-sided board onto the easel. Start with the odorless pin board side facing your audience — ready to display pinned notices, timetables, or announcements immediately.
Step 3: Pin your content
Use the softboard side to pin documents, memos, schedules, and reminders. With no chemical smell, your room stays fresh no matter how long the board is in use.
Step 4: Flip to the whiteboard
When it is time to write, present, or brainstorm live, simply rotate the board to reveal the smooth dry-erase whiteboard surface on the reverse side. Write with any standard whiteboard marker and wipe clean instantly.
Step 5: Move it anywhere
When you are done, fold the easel flat and carry the entire unit to a different room, a meeting venue, or an offsite location. One product that works everywhere you work.

Why the Chemical Smell in Ordinary Softboards Is a Real Problem
Most people have simply accepted the chemical odour from notice boards as a normal part of office and classroom life. But it is not normal — and it is not harmless.
The preservatives used in standard locally manufactured softboards often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These compounds off-gas slowly into the room over months and years. In enclosed spaces with limited ventilation — like most Kenyan offices and classrooms — this build-up can contribute to headaches, eye irritation, respiratory discomfort, and general fatigue.
The Savic Odorless Pin Notice Board eliminates this problem completely. No VOCs. No off-gassing. No smell. Just clean, fresh air and a board that does its job quietly and professionally.

Who Is This For?
The Savic Odorless Pin Notice Board is designed for everyone — and that is not an exaggeration. Here is where each version makes the biggest difference:
Offices and boardrooms: Pin meeting agendas, policy notices, and announcements on a board that does not fill your workspace with chemical fumes. The combo version lets you flip to the whiteboard for live discussions and presentations without needing a separate board.
Schools and classrooms: Give teachers a whiteboard for lessons and a pin board for timetables, student work, and notices — all in one unit, completely safe for use around children of every age.
Hospitals and clinics: Maintain hygiene-conscious environments where chemical odours can be especially distressing for patients and disruptive to medical staff. The odorless board is the professional choice for any healthcare setting.
Training and conference rooms: The combo with floor-standing easel is the ideal portable training tool. Set it up in any room, write on one side, pin on the other, and fold it away when the session ends.
Hotels and reception areas: Display guest information, event schedules, and important notices on a board that reflects the quality standards of your establishment.
Home offices: Keep your personal workspace organised with a board that is clean, functional, and free from that unpleasant chemical smell that standard softboards bring into your home.
Government offices and NGOs: Equip public-facing spaces with notice boards that are professional, safe for staff, and built to withstand years of daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What makes the Savic Notice Board odorless when other softboards are not?

Q: What is on each side of the double-sided pin board?
A: Both sides have the same premium odorless softboard surface, giving you twice the pinning area with the same consistent quality and zero chemical smell on either face.
Q: What markers are compatible with the whiteboard side of the combo?
A: The whiteboard surface works with all standard dry-erase whiteboard markers. Wipe clean with a dry eraser or a slightly damp cloth — no residue, no ghosting, and no staining.
Q: How stable is the floor-standing easel that comes with the combo?
A: The easel features a wide, stable tripod base that keeps the board firmly in place during writing and presentations. It is robust enough for confident daily use, yet lightweight enough to move between rooms with ease. The legs fold flat for compact storage and transport.
