Most metal storage clipboards are made from aluminum or a combination of metal and plastic. Product listings commonly specify aluminum construction or simply list 'metal and plastic' materials.
Many metal storage clipboards accommodate letter and legal paper sizes. Some internal compartments are also sized to hold tablets or laptops up to 13 inches.
Common layouts feature two trays or two separate compartments—typically a lower compartment for documents and a dedicated pen or pencil tray for supplies.
Typical portability features are side handles or ergonomic hand grips, snap or clasp closures to keep contents secure, and reinforced corners or corner protectors to withstand transport.
Many models include integrated writing-tool storage such as a pencil tray, a built-in pen tray, or a dedicated pen holder to keep a pen or pencil within reach.
Clear-view metal storage clipboards have a transparent top so you can see the document inside, can function as a dry-erase surface, and often include separate storage compartments with a lower document compartment made from high-impact plastic.
