It doesn’t matter if it’s black or white when it comes to Ultra Board’s paper-based edging because Dufaylite is now offering both colours to market due to increased demand and as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to sustainability.
Recycled paper honeycomb manufacturer, Dufaylite, has launched a new 250gsm black paper-based edging to partner the existing white option for its pioneering product Ultra Board – a lightweight, robust, highly versatile and 100% recyclable substrate that has become an innovation in the print, signage, retail and design industries.
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, explains: “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,” adds Tony.
The black or white edging comes in 50metre rolls of 6mm, 10mm and 18mm with peel-off backing for easy self application.
Dufaylite Group is the sole UK manufacturer of recycled paper honeycomb – a 100% recyclable, robust and versatile core material that has become an innovation in the signage industry and is used in many industrial applications. Major suppliers to the retail and manufacturing industries, Dufaylite now exports to Europe, Australia and the US. Established in 1955, Dufaylite has a 2.5 acre site near Cambridge employing 42 staff and is ISO 14001 (Environmental Management Standard) accredited due to its ongoing commitment to developing eco-friendly products.
