Leading Australian manufacturer of Imageboard®, Impact Plastics, has just announced the appointment of Halifax Vogel Group as their exclusive Australian distributor further strengthening HVG’s ability to service the graphics market throughout Australia.

Imageboard® is manufactured by a process that permanently bonds specially formulated synthetic liner with a polypropylene twin wall hollow profile, extruded sheet. It can be supplied single or double sided making Imageboard® one of the most versatile products on the market today. Its smooth surface eliminates the ribbing effect and being corrugated allows for premium quality four colour process screen printing at a fraction of the cost of other comparable substrates.

Screenprinting is successful using solvent based and UV curable inks. Manufacturers will have tested their inks and can recommend the inks ideal for polypropylene printing.
Digital printing can take place on Flatbed printers using standard UV inks.
Fabrication is easy using standard box making techniques for packaging forms or flatbed processes using CAM actions or single stroke.
Both Halifax Vogel Group and Impact Plastics are excited by the prospect of this new partnership which signifies a distribution agreement that can satisfy a customer base nationally not possible in the past.
