Most of the environmental cost of a retail display is decided before it is printed — in what it is made of, how far it travels, and whether it can be used again. Those are the three things we design around.
Scroll to watch a free-standing display unit come together — and flatten back down when the campaign ends.
The unit leaves our floor as flat sheets — far more units per pallet and per truckload than a pre-assembled display.
Locking tabs and scored folds. Store staff assemble it by hand — no fixings, no adhesives, no installer visit.
Structure, shelves and header are all paper-based. Nothing needs separating before it goes into a recycling stream.
It collapses back down between campaigns for storage or reuse, instead of being cut up and thrown out.
Corrugated, D-board and honeycomb are not interchangeable — they carry different loads and cost different amounts. Here is what each one actually is, next to the expanded PVC board they usually replace.
Single and double-wall fluted paper board. The workhorse for campaign displays.
Two fluted layers bonded together — noticeably more rigid than single-wall.
A paper cell core between liners — the same principle used in aircraft panels.
Rigid expanded PVC sheet. Still the right answer for some jobs — but it is a plastic.
We still specify Sintra where a job genuinely needs it — long deployments, damp environments, repeated handling. The point is not that one material is banned, but that most campaign work does not need a plastic panel to begin with.
Solvent-based inks release volatile organic compounds as they print and cure. We print with water-based inks instead — substantially lower VOC content, with no solvent odour.
Lower VOC emissions where our production team works every day.
No solvent smell means displays can go onto the floor during trading hours, around staff and shoppers.
Water-based inks do not compromise the paper stream the board is recycled through.
For bags, corporate merchandise and printed banners, we work in materials chosen for what they are made of — and what they leave out.
A natural fibre that takes years of daily use, so one bag displaces a great many single-use ones.
The same principle across both lines: standard tarpaulin is PVC, so we print banners and backdrops on PVC-free fabric instead — and totes and bags are made up in fabrics like cotton canvas. Same job, without the chlorinated plastic.
Colourants and finishes specified free of heavy metals — the first thing an importing brand’s compliance team checks.
A collapsible display ships as flat sheets. Far more units fit on the same pallet and in the same vehicle than rigid or pre-assembled displays — which means fewer trips to put the same campaign into the same number of stores.
Where the campaign allows, we build the structure to outlive the artwork. The printed panel is replaced for the next promotion and the frame stays in service — so each campaign consumes a graphic, not a whole display.
Everything is produced in our own facility in Valenzuela. Displays sourced overseas travel thousands of kilometres by sea and road before they reach a Philippine store. Ours do not.
Large buyers increasingly have to report on what their suppliers provide. We can supply the paperwork to support that — material declarations covering composition and recyclability, and safety data sheets for the inks we print with.
We do not currently hold third-party environmental certification. Everything above describes the materials and processes we actually use, and we are happy to put it in writing for your records.
Tell us the constraints. We'll tell you what we can build to meet them.
