Ultra Board has the edge
Recycled paper honeycomb manufacturer Dufaylite has launched a new 250gsm black paper-based edging to partner its existing white Ultra Board option.
Last year Dufaylite produced and trialled a white paper-based edging, allowing Ultra Board users to send a complete sealed board to one traditional recycling route at the end of its life. Prior to this development, the company had offered a plastic u-shape extrusion that clients could clip onto the edge of their board, giving it a hard robust edge.
The white edging has since become incredibly popular with POS and exhibition stands and has quickly overtaken plastic edging sales, leading Dufaylite to improve customer choice and increase the range by committing to the new black edging.
Tony Moscrop, Dufaylite CEO, said: “While some users of Ultra Board love to see the honeycomb centre in their applications to highlight its recyclable components, others want a sealed and clean finish to their board.
“The plastic extrusion we have always produced can be taken off and reused indefinitely and contains recyclable content, but not appealing to those who want a completely paper-based sign or stand. So, we produced the paper-based card edge to compliment our board’s inner and face, allowing users to recycle through one route without any fuss or confusion.
“Ultimately, the popularity of the paper-based edging is yet another indication of end users moving towards total sustainability and who knows, the way things are going, we may soon offer every colour of the rainbow.”
The black or white edging comes in 50metre rolls of 6mm, 10mm and 18mm with peel-off backing for easy self-application.
