Antalis expands Sign & Display offering

Antalis has said that new additions to its Sign & Display and other product lines will open up more easy-to-apply design possibilities.

Seven new creative finishes to its Coala non-woven wall design range include fibre, canvas, fine canvas, stucco, leather, brush and plaster.

They are suitable for personalised murals and decorative wallcoverings for hotels and offices.

A further addition to the Coala range is Flamestop, a fire-rated roller banner pop-up display. Available in 200μm and 500μm, it is intended for use at exhibitions and conferences where fire-retardant signage is a must.

This is in addition to Coala Floor R, a slip-rated and fire-rated laminate range that can be used for floor and wall graphics.

In addition, Antalis’ Drytac range of adhesive-coated products has been boosted with the introduction of Drytac Polar Carpet and Drytac Anti-Microbial Laminate.

Antalis Sign & Display channel head Chris Green did not disclose pricing details but said: “These product range extensions were introduced to further support the needs of signmakers and display printers.

“With brands such as Drytac, Coala and Foamalite customers are receiving products that will satisfy all their application requirements.”

The first, Drytac Polar Carpet, can be applied on short-pile carpet while being easily removable after short-term use, making it suitable for trade fairs, POS or furniture stores.

Drytac Anti-Microbial Laminate features a durable anti-bacterial additive designed to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria in restaurants, hospitals and other areas where hygiene is important.

Antalis' Foamalite Xpress Filmed and Foamlite Black Filmed ranges of PVC foam sheet have also been extended to include 10mm, enabling greater rigidity for more arduous signage applications.

Finally, Antalis has expanded its Printbond aluminium composite range with a thicker 0.3mm skin, targeting demanding jobs. And five new sizes and thicknesses have been added to its PVC range.

Green said: “We are always looking for new ways to help customers achieve even the most complex signmaking and display requirements.

“These include hospital signage, where hygiene optimisation is paramount, through to custom designs for hotels, and everything in between.”
