Biprint®: Biplex® corrugated sheet for the printing industry
Biprint® is the ideal printing medium. It’s double-sided corona treatment allows easy printing, even for digital printing. Biprint® is resistant to moisture, is strong and light-weight. This makes Biprint® the perfect substrate for outside and inside applications. The corona treatment also provides a better adhesion when gluing the sheets to other materials, or when using adhesives. Biprint® can easily be cut or die-cut and can be converted into virtually any shape.
Biprint® is extruded from polypropylene copolymer, it is much more durable than cardboard and is completely recyclable.- easily printable
- water and moisture resistant
- strong and durable
- light-weight
