Ball & Doggett launches sustainable display boards

Ball & Doggett says it aims to change the outdoor display market, with the launch of its new Shark Skin Outdoor Display Board, which it says is both eco-friendly and able to perform in challenging environments, such as where moisture and humidity are present.

The Shark Skin is available in 1.2mm and 2mm thickness, can be digitally printed on both sides on a UV inkjet flatbed printer, and according to the company, has excellent converting capabilities. 

It is manufactured from natural wood and fibre construction, making it a fully-recyclable substrate, which can be placed in any paper/cardboard recycling bin, allowing users to dispose of it responsibility. 

According to the company, the encouragement to recycle and reuse waste material back into the supply chain and reduce landfill continues to be an important driver for business, it says it understands the future and survival of the planet is to focus on sustainable alternatives.

“Sustainability in print is becoming more important as individuals and businesses work to reduce their environmental footprint,” said Rob Brussolo, general manager – sign, display & digital, Ball & Doggett. 

“Advances in technology has allowed the sign and display industry to produce sustainable printed material, while maintaining high levels of print quality. For this reason, we are excited to launch this new product. 

"The Shark Skin is great for short-term outdoor use, as the product can maintain its structural and dimensional integrity outdoor with durability and water resistant up to 12 weeks."

Brussolo says it works well for point-of-sale applications, bollards, sandwich boards, posters, signage, displays and advertising.

He points out that the Shark Skin is made in Australia, "supporting local manufacturing, and in turn supporting local jobs."
