Plastic is often used in many moisture-rich or harsh environments where traditional corrugated board can’t endure. However, there is a premium, coated paperboard perfect for indoor applications exposed to hot, cold, moist, and wet environments and for temporary outdoor signs and offers benefits that plastic cannot. This amazing substrate is called Mako-Board.
The World Counts predicts that in approximately 28 years, there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish. The coronavirus pandemic hurt many industries, and according to a Reuters Special Report, plastic recycling was no exception. The pandemic created a need for additional plastic products, such as face shields, gloves, disposable food containers, bubble wrap for online shopping, protective dividers, and more. But as the demand for plastic has increased, recycling participation has remained a challenge for many reasons, including costs, China import bans, reduced demand for recycled plastics, and oil and gas investments in creating virgin plastics.
Plastic waste is a global issue that a single solution won’t eliminate. Significant problems are solved through a series of small steps – you have to start somewhere. One small step is to replace plastic signs, dividers, sanitation stations, displays, plant stakes, shelf tags, and more with Mako-Board.
Mako-Board is a two-sided coated paperboard suitable for harsh environments and is 100% recyclable. This sustainable material is an ideal replacement for PVC, fluted, polypropylene, and PE-coated materials.
You won’t have to sacrifice quality print for environmental advantages. Plastic materials can create flute shadows that detract from your artwork. This doesn’t happen with Mako-Board. Whether printed with digital or offset printing, this ultra-smooth bright white premium board can bring your vibrant design to life.
