X-Board "Print" is a versatile, lightweight board, which offers designers and manufacturers a VOC-Free alternative to MDF, particle board and petrochemical-based foamed-core boards, typically used for building short-term displays and structures of all types.

X-Board's unique high-crush strength paper core is manufactured from post-consumer recycled paper and sugar cane waste. Sandwiched between top and bottom layers of semi-rigid printable paper optimised for industrial flatbed UV inkjet printers, X-Board is best disposed of in paper-recycling bins after use. Panels can be UV inkjet printed directly or decorative laminates can be applied over the board. They can be mitre-cut, folded or curved, shape cut , canvas or fabric-wrapped, photo-mounted and fastened together with velcro, hot-melt adhesive or magnetic strips, generating an endless array of design possibilities.

For production runs, X-Board is best cut using a CNC router or flatbed digital cutting table with oscillating knife. For simple straight-cutting for low volume hobby, DIY or set-building use, a heavy duty Stanley-type knife, panel saw, jigsaw or vertical foam trimmer may be used.

X-Board Plus (XB+)

consists of precision-engineered, high-density, post-consumer recycled paper waste, manufactured into a high-strength, VOC-free honeycomb core. Surface panels such as E-Zero MDF, particle board or plywood are structurally bonded to both sides of this core, creating a lightweight composite panel which can be direct edge banded with huge strength-to-weight ratio advantages over heavyweight, formaldehyde-based, solid MDF and particle board.

Xanita partner with the world’s leading manufacturers of lightweight board fittings, laminate suppliers and local panel pressing specialists to deliver a reliable, environmentally-friendly solution that meets up to the highest architectural specifications.

Environmentally-friendly flat-branding applications

Mondi Xtreme (MX) is a new generation, flexible fibre board made from post-consumer recycled paper waste. A truly state-of-the-art material, MX exhibits excellent water and moisture hold-out capabilities for both internal and external branding applications. It’s designed to replace polymer based (plastic) substrates commonly used in the short-term outdoor signage, event and display industries.

No wax or polyethylene is used in Mondi Xtreme’s manufacturing process, yet it still lasts months outdoors with no water ingress, thanks to a proprietary new barrier coating technology.
