Presentation Transcript

  1. Context • What are the printing substrates? • Materials frequently used on signage market, their properties and applications. • Materials leading brands. • Substrates for Superjet. Confidential

  2. What This Presentation Gives You • Knowledge about materials used by our customers. • Knowledge about customer applications and why they use a specific material for certain applications. • In the bottom line: better communication with customers, understanding their needs and problems. Confidential

  3. Introduction • Substrates with paper liner (top cover) • Corrugated (fluted) carton • Compressed carton • Foam board • Plastic substrates • Polycarbonate • Foam PVC • Acrylic • Polypropylene • Aluminum Composite Materials • Polystyrene Confidential

  4. Carton • What is liner? Types of liner. • What is flute? • Most popular flutes for FB6700 (E, B, C, EB, BC). Thickness depends on flute type. • Compressed (non fluted) cartons. Confidential

  5. Examples Confidential

  6. Main Features of Carton • Cheap • Easy to fabricate and mount • Light weight Confidential

  7. Main Applications of Carton • Packaging • POP • Trade show booths, 3 dimensional shapes • Displays • Exhibits • Presentations • Models and prototypes • Signs • Theater pops • Window displays Confidential

  8. Foam Board • Foam board consists of polystyrene/polyurethane foam bonded between various high quality papers. • It is available in a wide range of sheets size and thickness. Confidential

  9. Examples Made from Kapa Block Confidential

  10. Main Features of Foam Board • Easy to fabricate and mount • Light weight Confidential

  11. Main Applications of Foam Board • Picture framing and mounting • POP • Displays • Exhibits • Presentations • Models and prototypes • Signs • Theater pops • Window displays • Trade show booths, 3 dimensional shapes Confidential

  12. Plastics In the Beginning • The first product called Celluloid was created as the first commercial plastic. (1868) • The first photographic film was Celluloid (1882). • In the 1920’s, the big progress in development took place with the introduction of Vinyl and Nylon. Confidential

  13. Polycarbonate • Polycarbonate sheets are as transparent as glass, but 200 times stronger while weighing 50% less. They provide the answer to virtually every covering and glazing application. Confidential

  14. Examples Confidential
