Antalis’s stand will feature Xanita Board as part of a range products offering greater sustainability credentials
Antalis (stand D10) will showcase its extensive portfolio of materials for retail design and display, exhibitions, events, and POS & POP at this year’s retail Visual Merchandising and Display Show, which will take place from 9 to 10 April at London’s Business Design Centre.
Antalis understands the ever-increasing need for innovative and sustainable visual merchandising and display materials. Its experts will be on hand to chat through the latest additions to its range and discuss considering not only budget but sustainable credentials, weight-bearing requirements materials and other facors at the design stage.
Antalis’ stand and furniture will be constructed from its fibreboard Xanita Print, making it 100% recyclable at the end of its life. Xanita Board is manufactured with a part re-pulped post-consumer paper core and FSC-accredited liners. It is a more environmentally friendly alternative to the traditional use of MDF, PVC, and PUR foam boards. Other Xanita products on display will be Xanita Aspect board made from post-consumer paper, which is ideal for signage, POS, and 2D solutions for interior use.
Other products that will feature on the stand include Eska Brown and Eska Black. Eska Brown is 100% recycled kraft material / solid rigid board, ideal for signage and display, and Eska Black has a recycled core with virgin liners – both grades are FSC certified. Exten HMPP, is a recyclable premium polypropylene, offering retailers, brands and specifiers an alternative to PVC for point-of-sale (POS) and display applications. The 100% recyclable and PVC-free Biprint Wave for short-term outdoor displays will also be on the stand for visitors to explore along with the Coala ID Wall coverings collection, featuring eight customisable wallcovering materials, with five new finishes.
Visitors can explore Antalis’ large-format sustainable sample box, an ideal reference tool when choosing and specifying materials for any application. Each A5 sample has an Antalis Green Star System™ rating of 3-5 stars, that measures key factors such as raw materials used and recyclability at end-of-life, allowing users to identify and compare materials.
Specification Consultant at Antalis Claire White comments, “The VM & Display Show is always a good opportunity to discuss the sustainable design possibilities our portfolio offers for retail, brands, visual merchandising, experiential, and store design. We understand that materials are often evolving and choosing them can be daunting; we encourage dialogue on how specifying products early in the design stage can be a real game changer.”
