Life Cycle Assessment - CPG Group

Image
A life cycle approach is the only way to establish the true environmental performance of any given product. Climate change and the sustainable and responsible use of natural resources are among the main challenges for society today. This puts them at the top of the political environmental agenda, where they are likely to remain for the foreseeable future. Product design and consumer behaviour can affect the overall sustainability performance and efficiency of a product. Companies making the products are paying closer attention to manufacture, utilisation, reuse and end-of-life, which are increasingly important for material specifiers. Among the tools and methodologies available to evaluate the environmental, economic and social performance of materials and consumer products (including their impact on climate change and natural resources), life cycle assessment (LCA) provides a holistic approach that considers the potential impacts from all stages of manufacture, product use and end-of-...

Banner Material - The Big Picture - CPH Group Australia

Image
We take a look at the different types of Banner Material, how each is made and the benefits they provide for super-sized signage  and display applications. Laminated vs Coated There are two different ways to produce banner material: Laminated, where the PVC is laminated to the backing Coated, where the backing is dipped through the melted PVC Laminated Banner is the cheaper of the two options to produce. This is because the backing and the PVC begin the production process as separate ready-made components and are then run through a laminator to adhere the two parts together. A laminated face stock would be selected for its elevated print properties and include UV additives to enhance resistance and prolong yellowing. Coated Banner is a more expensive process and produces a higher premium product. This is because during production the PVC needs to be kept in a molten state, the backing is then run through the melted PVC. As the Banner dries it dries as an integrated piece rather tha...

Which Application Tape Should I Use?

Image
Choosing the right Application Tape can make or break your job. Using App Tape that isn’t suited to the particular application could cost you not only money, but also time and maybe missing a critical deadline. Application Tape Adhesives Application Tape must have the correct adhesive strength or “tack” to lift the cut vinyl lettering from the liner backing, yet be able to remove easily from the vinyl lettering once it’s transferred to the application surface. Adhesive systems vary in application tapes. Some are rubber-based and others, acrylic. Neotape and R-tape Application Tapes have natural rubber-based adhesive which is very stable. They have virtually no adhesion build-up when applied to vinyl for extended periods of time. They are also very smooth and consistent, therefore, will not transfer a “texture” to the vinyl lettering. Acrylic-based application tapes have a tendency to increase their adhesion to vinyl. This may be desirable in some applications, but adhesion build-up can...

Image
Finishing and Installing are the final steps in creating stunning results with your super-sized Banner signage. Here are a few guidelines and tips... Banner Edging and Finishing   There are a number of ways to finish a banner, the method is really determined by the installation method chosen. Edge finishing can be done either to simply neaten the edges or to increase the strength and integrity ready for installation, particularly when using eyelets. Edging options include stitching, banner edge tape, welding and Kedar Edging. Stitching is as it sounds, when the edge is stitched or sewn, usually doubled over to provide a thicker base for punching through the eyelets. Kedar Edging can also be sewn directly onto the banner ready for installation with Kedar Track (more later). Welding, again is as it sounds, a banner welder is used to fuse the edges together when doubled over. The banner welder heats up and melts the PVC allowing it to bond to itself, the end result again is a thicker ...
