Dispa® and Smart-X® cardboard

With the global increase in prices and an ever-increasing sensitivity towards recycling and sustainability, products once considered "niche" or with a greater economic gap compared to the more widespread rigid supports for printing have become increasingly popular.

Today this gap has narrowed considerably to the point of almost disappearing, leading many users to choose products that are often technically more valid than their "famous" competitors.

DISPA® is a support composed of 100% FSC certified paper (therefore 100% recyclable in the separate paper collection) , ideal for direct UV digital printing. The surface, smooth and characterised by an excellent white point, guarantees excellent colour rendering , which will be vivid and brilliant. The particular composition and the absence of a cane direction makes Dispa® panels particularly rigid and planar.

Dispa® panels exist in 3 variants:

• DISPA® – the traditional version, for interior applications, is characterised by the white edge and is available in thicknesses of 3.8 mm and 2.4 mm.

• DISPA® Outdoor – for short-term outdoor installations, with a thickness of 2.2 mm.

• DISPA® Canvas – characterised by the special canvas-effect coating on both sides.

SMART-X® is a synthetic support instead of coextruded polystyrene with a visible paper-effect surface. The special finish and the excellent white point make it the perfect product for direct UV printing. Extremely light and flat, it resists UV rays and high temperatures (or temperature changes) unlike Forex® or the Sandwich panel. Being glue-free, it is free from delamination and resists outdoors for up to 2 years. Not to be underestimated is the fact that Smart-X® is completely recyclable in plastic, unlike Forex®, a special product that must be disposed of in landfill. Dispa cardboard and Smart-X guarantee greater sustainability.

Smart-X® panels are available in 5 and 10mm thicknesses.
