Falconboard™, a 100% paper-based graphic board from Boise Inc.’s Hexacomb® business unit, has been positively received due to its performance and environmentally-responsible profile.
Falconboard is made from renewable resources (a minimum of 20% recycled fiber content) and is recyclable to provide the perfect blend of printing performance and environmental stewardship. (The product has met fiber-sourcing certification standards set by the independent Sustainable Forestry Initiative.)
Falconboard’s proprietary, patent-pending process features an engineered paper core and water-based adhesives coupled with a white printing surface. Produced chlorofluorocarbon-free, it emits zero volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during manufacturing.
The product is available in three grades—Falconboard Print, Falconboard Build and Falconboard Mount.
Falconboard Print is suitable for a variety of wide formats and digital processes where foam boards have traditionally been used. Falconboard’s unique structure can handle the most demanding of graphic display applications due to its superior rigidity and dimensional stability. This enables printing directly onto the structure compared to most other display board configurations where you have to print first and then mount onto a rigid substrate.
The lightweight display board accommodates most inks and adhesives and is heat-resistant up to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
Falconboard Build is recommended for short-term to semi-permanent interior POP applications as a replacement for traditional wood or foam materials. The product works with most commercial connective systems such as edge tape, plastic or metal edging, and channels. It offers superior strength over traditional corrugated and foam board substrates.
Economical Falconboard Mount is ideal for applications that do not involve direct print. Mount offers the structural characteristics of Print and Build, but utilizes kraft paper facings for a flat and smooth mountable surface.
