Display & Graphics Sustainability

Our graphic display products are made from light and durable materials to best present a company's desired messaging. During the material production process of SINTRA®, GATOR®, and FOME-COR®, we reclaim material scrap from production for re-entry into the manufacturing process to reduce landfill waste and reduce the consumption of virgin grade raw materials. The DISPA product line is a comparable alternative to our plastic based display products. DISPA is a 100% recyclable all-paper board made using papers from suppliers with a Forest Management certification. 



ALUCOBOND® PLUS aluminum composite panel is comprised of two sheets of smooth .020" aluminum thermobonded to a solid, fire-retardant core.

DISPA® is our paper board made using certified papers purchased from suppliers with a Forest Management certification. This means that all the paper in the product comes from forest operations that follow social and environmental standards designed to improve the sustainability practices of forestry. Being made completely from paper allows for this board to be recycled. It is great for short-term interior displays and there is also an exterior version that is still recyclable. Manufactured by 3A Composites GmbH.

  • All paper facers are purchased from paper suppliers that participate in either the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) or have a Forest Management Certification. Both organizations have developed standards designed to improve the sustainability practices of forestry.
  • Both white and black foam polystyrene cores are manufactured with post-industrial recycled foam content: (1) captured FOME-COR scrap material reinserted into manufacturing process, (2) other captured polystyrene foam also reinserted into FOME-COR manufacturing process.
