Van Straaten introduces new type of textile for XXL light box prints
19 April 2016
Van Straaten, a specialist in innovative visual communication, is launching a new type of textile that can be fed through a UV printer in widths of up to five metres. This material, which is called VS-Luxor 500 UV, is different to any other type of textile being used for large-format UV
printing because it is translucent. This makes it ideal for the production of XXL prints for use in light boxes and other frames that are lit from the back. Another thing that makes the VS-Luxor 500 UV unique is its resistance to buckling and damage. It has also been REACH-certified and is
free of PVC and heavy metals. By introducing VS-Luxor 500 UV, Van Straaten is responding to the growing demand for extra large and impressive visual communication solutions that make more of an impact at trade fairs and exhibitions and in showrooms.
van straaten luxor uvVS-Luxor 500 UV is a translucent backlit textile, suitable for use in UV printers. This variant on the existing material - VS-Pearl 320 - can be printed in widths up to five metres, a significant improvement on the previous width limit of 3.2 metres. The material can be
used in LED frames, light boxes or in any other eyecatchers and structures that are lit from the back. The XXL-size prints produced make it possible for Van Straaten to deliver very large, top-quality format prints without seams. However, it doesn't stop there: besides the printed product
itself, clients can order an LED frame of their choice. Van Straaten also delivers the final product and assembles it for clients on site. It's fair to say that Van Straaten creates a one-stop-shop experience, making life much easier for clients.
Growing demand
The new textile has been designed to complement the existing series of materials in the Van Straaten portfolio, which is under continuous development. Van Straaten is leading the way in the development of print innovations and in its fast response to signals from and the wishes of the market.
This is what makes the company stand out from its competitors.
Demand for large-scale and impressive visual communication solutions is showing strong growth. With the introduction of this new UV print, which is available in five-metre widths and unlimited lengths, Van Straaten is meeting a clear need and is setting its sights on the achievement of maximum
client satisfaction.
Niels van Straaten, one of the directors at Van Straaten: "I am seeing a trend for companies in various sectors to opt for big, bigger and biggest. For example: showrooms in the automotive industry, at trade fairs and exhibitions and in interiors. Marketing and event managers are looking for
real eyecatchers that they can use to dress their rooms and halls, which are often large and have high ceilings. This new textile makes light work of this challenge. VS-Luxor 500 UV makes it possible to show XXL visuals at their best."
Specifications for VS-Luxor 500 UV
VS-Luxor 500 UV has a PUR coating on one side, guaranteeing a high-quality print. The material is also buckle-resistant, keeping the risk of damage to a minimum. Finally, Luxor benefits from REACH certification, is 100% free of PVC and heavy metals and is flame retardant in accordance with DIN
4102 B1, NF P 92-503ff M1 and EN 13501.
