European hardware chain chooses X-Board |
A European DIY hardware chain, has opted to use printed 16mm X-Board to replace Chipboard wrapped in printed vinyl, as shelving header boards. As X-Board is able to be printed directly, they will not need to use the printed vinyl to laminate the header boards.
The retailer has found X-Board to be an eco-friendly, lightweight alternative that is easy to install and suits their current shelving system. They have also found it to be a more convenient option than the Chipboard due to its ability to be direct printed and easily converted.

X-Board promo table design |
A Heineken promotional stand from 12mm and 16mm X-Board was produced by a company in South America.
A flatbed printer was used to print directly onto the board. A large poster supported by a podium was constructed, with both poster and podium made from X-Board. The lightweight podium was strong enough to withstand a mass of more than 150kg. The red Heineken star on the “floor” of the stand was lit using standard light bulbs which did no damage to X-Board.

X-Board provides flexibility to a curved counter application |
Xanita’s 16mm X-Board was used to produce stands for several Game stores in South Africa. X-Board was used to add thickness and better control over complex curves to a curved counter application. The board was laminated onto an MDF sub-structure which added extra strength and structure to the counter. By using X-Board as the core application, the finished product is lighter, rendering it easier to install and eventually remove. The flexibility of the board provides better control over curves than MDF and is also more economical.

World Wildlife Fund chooses X-Board for POP Display Stands |
A branding company recently designed and produced a display for the World wildlife Stand, to hold a range of soft toys. The aim was to find an alternative display solution that would support the WWF’s environmental message. MDF was ruled out for this purpose as it would have to be disposed as toxic landfill post-use. Furthermore, corrugated cardboard did not have the structural strength-to-weight ratio that X-Board offered. Boards were direct-flatbed inkjet printed with industrial UV inks allowing the panels to be disposed of as waste industrial paper a year or more after the campaign commenced.

A South African printer and converter, recently manufactured tower caps from Xanita’s X-Board for a luxury retail chain.

For the decorative columns running from the floor to the ceiling, 360° X-Board signage was used to “wrap” the pillars. Both applications made use of eco-friendly inks.

The Living Perfume exhibit uses X-Board for sustainable display |
|
The exhibit was developed and installed using the responsible design principles of sustainable materials and eco-friendly sourcing. Sculptural forms made from silhouetted layers of white sustainable X-Board create natural elements — trees, stone formations, and a forest path. The exhibit is constructed of Xanita recycled post-consumer and 100% re-pulpable materials, light weight boards, and contains no formaldehyde, toxins or wax. After the event, most of the fixtures will remain in their current space, converting into Bendel bookstore fixtures as well as for the retailer to use for future exhibit rentals.

Application concepts with X-Board |
|
Graph-XL, a printing company based in Brussels, Belgium recently produced several application concepts to present to their customers in various industries.
Two designs were created, including a giant CD cover mock-up and a printed wall graphic with offset hanging character- both potentially for in-store displays.
Graph-XL is confident that these concepts will be a hit with their customers due to their attractive lightweight properties. The Graph-XL team took advantage of their extensive roll-to-roll printer ranges to print on paper and mount the graphics to X-Board, meaning that the board is still able to be recycled immediately after use.
