Display tips

This page is full of tips for making displays as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible!

Don’ts Do’s

NON-CERTIFIED PAPER AND CARDBOARD

Using non-certified paper and cardboard is not eco-friendly. The origin of the wood fibres is not known, so you have no idea how the trees were grown and harvested.

Conventional Inks

Conventional inks contain materials derived from crude oil and are not biodegradable. They are not eco-friendly.

Uv Lacquer

UV-lacquer gives printed matter an attractive finish. However, the drying process requires special UV lamps, which consume more energy.

Laminated Paper

Because laminated paper is covered with a PE film, it is not recyclable. When laminated paper gets thrown away as recyclable paper, the paper and cardboard recycling process is disrupted because the film does not soak loose. In other words, the plastic coating is not biodegradable and returns to the environment as a pollutant.

PLASTIC, WOOD AND METAL

If you use other materials in the display, it is no longer fully recyclable and therefore not ecofriendly.

FSC® AND PEFC CERTIFIED

We work with raw materials from responsibly managed forests where the habitat of plants and animals is protected and the rights of indigenous peoples and forest workers are respected. The cardboard and paper used in the displays can be recycled up to 5 times.

Organic Inks

In our production process, we use solvent-free printing inks, also known as BIO-inks. They are a better sustainability choice because the resources that provide the raw materials, vegetable-based oils, can be replanted indefinitely.

LOW-MIGRATION LACQUER

Choose an environmentally friendly lacquer: this is a water-based lacquer and therefore biodegradable.

Double Dispersion Lacquer

Dispersion lacquer is a great substitute for laminated paper. It gives the printed matter a glossy look and is also much more environmentally friendly. Because this material is biodegradable, it can be disposed of in the paper recycling bin.

Fully Recyclable

Choose a 100% cardboard construction. Paper and cardboard are environmentally friendly and biodegradable materials, so everything is 100% recyclable.
