Corplex supplied AkyPrint extruded polypropylene sheets (PP) to a Turkish industrial printer that uses the material to convert and create Point of Sales (POS) displays for the retail market.
The Challenge
In the past, the customer had used a well-known and largely used brand of simple fluted polypropylene material, with less than desired results due to its surface. They were looking for an innovative and alternative material that was flexible, easy to convert into their POS displays and that offered high-end quality printing.
The Corplex Approach
Corplex offered the client a bubble-structure polypropylene sheet with a flat uniform surface for easy printing and exceptional printing performance. In addition, AkyPrint has excellent resistance to scratch and moisture. Because its composition is 100% polypropylene, it is 100% recyclable.
The Results
In the end, the customer chose AkyPrint over 18 other materials due to its performance in a wide variety of applications. Due to its lightweight, AkyPrint sheets are easy to handle, are scratch-resistant, has great outdoor performance, and comes in a wide range of sizes, colors, and thicknesses. However, AkyPrint’s most distinctive quality is its flat and uniform surface that allows for high-performance quality in screen and digital printing.
“Because of its high-performing qualities,” the company stated, “AkyPrint is becoming an industry standard as it continues to exceed customer’s expectations.”
