PVC FREE BANNERS

BANNERS WITHOUT THE NASTIES

Our new Kavalan Eco Banner is set to become an industry game-changer that is anticipated to disrupt the traditional PVC banner market. Kavalan replicates the look, feel and strength of PVC and welds like PVC too. However unlike traditional PVC it is specifically designed for responsible end-of-life-disposal.  In 2018, approximately 340 million square meters of PVC eco banner were printed in Europe. Alarmingly, because banner PVC can’t be easily recycled, most of this ended up in landfills or was incinerated.

 

ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY

This incredible outdoor media product is PVC-Free and phthalate-free and features a biodegradable coating.  Also, it weighs up to 50% less than traditional PVC banner, which significantly reduces carbon emissions during transportation.  Kavalan can be disposed of without any harmful effects to health or the environment.  Any emissions are hundreds of times lower than that of traditional PVC banner and well below the minimum EU safety level guidelines. Kavalan adheres to strict ecological standards and is REACH, RoHS, and 33P compliant. So, if in a worst-case scenario it does end up in landfill, it has a water-based, light biodegradable coating that decomposes. 

 

BETTER THAN PVC

This PVC-Free alternative for banners and outdioor media is up to 50% lighter than regular PVC. In tests carried out by leading global welding manufacturers FIAB and Miller Weldmaster, the results of tear strength and weldability tests were equal to, if not better than traditional PVC banner.  

 

MULTIPLE FINISHES AND PURPOSES

Kavlan Eco banner is available in a range of finishess and qualities including the standard PVC-Free material.

– A mesh option with the strength, performance, look, and feel of PVC mesh banner, with only half the weight.

– A backlit version for lightboxes with anti-wicking and non-crease features and specialised coating,

– A double-sided block-out textile material that remains smooth and level, perfect for indoor and short-term outdoor two-way signage and hanging banners.

  • Bleed - FabriFramesTM need 25mm bleed with trim marks offset by 25mm. FabriGrabsTM need 50mm bleed and don’t add any trim marks. Please consider a safe area of 50mm for all fabrics.
  • Colour - Please supply your artwork in CMYK and make sure that any critical colours are set up as Pantone spot colours. Provide a CMYK equivalent for any other special colours.
  • Fabric
  • File Type - We prefer print-ready PDFs but we also accept artwork files supplied as Adobe Photoshop PSD, Illustrator AI/EPS and Indesign INDD if they’re supplied with fonts and links.
  • Fonts - Please ‘path’ your fonts. A PDF compression won’t embed them, so we kindly ask that you create outlines (path) your fonts or send the font files with the artwork.
  • Links - If you are supplying artwork in a format other than a PDF, please include all linked images and font files.
  • Pixels Per Inch - DPI determines the resolution (detail) of the artwork. Images with a low DPI can look blurry or pixelated when they’re printed. We prefer to work with a minimum of 300dpi.
  • Scale
  • Trim - There’s no need to add trim marks because our software can detect the art-board without them. If your artwork has a cutter, label the cutter using a spot colour called ‘CutContour’.
  • Upload - You’ll find our upload details online at mxdisplay.co.uk. Please name each piece of artwork with the order number and the line item letter from your quote.
