Spicers introduces new Kavalan non-PVC banner media

Spicers has announced Kavalan - a ground-breaking alternative to PVC banners that is lightweight and boasts superior environmental credentials.

The Kavalan PVC-free banner media range is specifically designed for responsible end-of-life disposal and can be safely disposed of regardless of whether it is recycled, put into landfill or incinerated in waste-to-energy schemes.

Kavalan materials are revolutionising the large-format digital print industry, paving the way for meeting zero PVC targets while matching the physical qualities and appearance of traditional PVC banner materials.

Products in the Kavalan range include: Sunlight, for signage, events, and exhibitions; Moonlight, for lightboxes and banners; Butterfly, for indoor and short-term outdoor two-way signage and hanging banners; and Spiderweb, for internal & external banners and window curtains. All media is compatible with UV and latex printing.

Kavalan is a perfect addition to our range offering a non-PVC solution to our customers.”
