Ultraflex’s Commitment to Sustainable Printing Solutions

A movement toward sustainable printing has increased, creating additional growth in the print service provider (PSP) market for sustainable printing solutions. As the printing industry shifts toward sustainable practices, companies will need to offer more sustainable alternatives. Many plant-based or recyclable materials have grown immensely popular due to their environmental benefits.

Ultraflex offers a wide range of digitally printable materials, including PVC-free, phthalate-free, and recyclable media. As companies around the world expand their sustainability efforts, with corporate policies and regulations pushing our industry towards more sustainable solutions, we encourage our customers to explore our range of sustainable materials. Doing so will minimize your business’s carbon footprint and put you at the forefront of the sustainability movement.

By using PVC-free, phthalate free and recyclable media, you can be sure that your printed materials will always look their best. Their sustainability benefits as eco-friendly materials will make your product stand out in a whole new way.

Utilize PVC-free, Phthalate-free, and Recyclable Media

Offering eco-friendly printing materials to clients will expand your likeability and sales. A Forbes article revealed that 87% of consumers would buy a product from a company with similar values, and 92% of consumers are more likely to trust a company with eco-friendly options that support sustainability efforts. The demand for eco-friendly products is present, making it more important than ever to utilize our connections and products to deliver sustainable options to your clients. Increase your sales, customer loyalty, and overall image by turning to PVC-free, phthalate-free, and recyclable media. Whether partnering as a distributor or supplier for B2B needs or purchasing directly, Ultraflex has many sustainable solutions to consider.

7 Tips to Help You Safely and Successfully Reopen
7 Tips to Help You Safely and Successfully Reopen 594 396 Kylie

7 Tips to Help You Safely and Successfully Reopen

Normal activities like shopping, working, playing, learning and worshiping have changed dramatically because of the coronavirus pandemic. How can businesses, schools and others reopen safely and effectively during this challenging time? We have some great suggestions.

Below are 7 tips for a safe reopening. Every signage material mentioned can be customized to showcase your unique brand, creating new opportunities for your enterprise to revive and thrive.

Tip #1: Clearly direct the route.

The term “wayfinding” refers to how people navigate and experience your space. Wayfinding signage can safely guide customers and visitors through your environment so they can find exactly what they need. Clear directions will help people feel comfortable and safe and allow them to have the best experience.

Instead of putting up that ugly, frightening yellow caution tape, think about how you can use wayfinding signage. It’s an effective and easy option. For example, FabriTac provides an adhesive fabric that can be mounted to any surface and moved many times. AdventureScapes is another excellent option. This 100% polyester, adhesive-backed material is tear and wrinkle resistant with an excellent anti-slip rating for wet and dry surfaces.

 

 

Tip #2: Use seat covers to support social distancing and advertising.

“Where do I sit?” is one of the first questions people will ask when certain types of facilities reopen. Seat covers can be used on public transportation, in classrooms, sports stadiums and more to clearly show where to sit to maintain social distancing.

What about those empty stadium seats? You can use seat covers to fill those empty seats with advertising or other messages to provide additional revenue and visibility for your brand. Seat covers can be simple self-adhesive signage or full seat covers made out of fabric or PVC material. Take a look at some real-life examples.

Tip #3: Hang banners to deliver big messages.

Banners are a great way to provide instructions or motivate patrons. Banners can be used to show support, draw attention, indicate new hours and business practices, and remind customers of safety rules. Take a look at some vibrant, high-quality banners made from Ultraflex materials:

 

Tip #4: Provide instructions, guidelines and more with stands and displays.

Freestanding displays are an eye-catching option for conveying messages indoors and outdoors. If you need to create a pop-up display inside a mall or big event, you may want to consider our SuperSmooth™ PET GreyBack product. If you need a smooth and flat roll-up display, one of our Bravura products may be the perfect solution. Here’s a neat display a high-traffic area:

Tip #5: Use floor graphics to step up safety.

When you reopen and people walk through your doors for the first time in months, what will they see?

Creative and compelling floor graphics can safely guide people through your facility. They can also help visitors and customers keep a safe distance when waiting in line to buy tickets, check out, take a tour, or place and pick up orders.

Here are some excellent examples of stunning floor graphic visuals:

Tip #6: Take full advantage of the outside of your facility.

Even before people enter your facility, they may need to know important information. Storefronts, sidewalks and stairs are ideal places to use directional signage as part of your reopening strategy. Window displays can alert people to special hours of operation or other helpful information. Other instructional signage can clearly direct traffic flow.

If you are thinking about directional signage, you’ll want to choose the highest-performing material for your project. Explore options like UltraVision Window Perf and FabriTac.

Tip #7: Use dividers and face shields for added safety.

Interacting with customers and students is a necessity for many organizations. Safety dividers help protect store workers, hair dressers, teachers, restaurant patrons, office workers and others who must interact with people every day. Whether you need a sneeze guard at a store counter or a large protective barrier, products like AcryliFlex can provide a transparent, durable surface to create safe spaces and allow for social distancing.

Face shields can add an additional layer of protection. Our PETG material used in face shields is lightweight, has an anti-fog component and is structurally sound.

There’s one more thing.

Reopening may be one of the biggest challenges you’ve had to overcome. But there are opportunities you don’t want to miss. We can help you choose media solutions for your environment that help you communicate with your patrons, while representing the powerful brand you’ve worked so hard to build.

We have the knowledge, expertise and products to help you open safely and deliver important messages to students, staff, customers and fans. For more information, email info@ultraflexx.com.

Is Your Business Ready for Warmer Weather? Now’s the Time to Plan Ahead
Is Your Business Ready for Warmer Weather? Now’s the Time to Plan Ahead 1028 936 Kylie

If you live in one of the colder regions of the U.S., you’re probably ditching your winter coat about now and enjoying the blooms and the breeze through open windows. Maybe you’re planning a trip to the farmer’s market, buying tickets for an outdoor concert, or getting your pool ready to open.

If you own a business, you should be thinking about something else too. With all those potential customers eager to get out and about, you have a fresh opportunity to get their attention and keep them coming back for more.

Now is the time to plan ahead and take full advantage of your space, whether you own a sandwich shop, run an amusement park, or have new products to showcase. Below are some ideas to help you engage, impress, and influence the crowds headed your way.

Turn special events into SPECTACULAR ones

Calendars everywhere are filling up with long-awaited outdoor events, such as food festivals, carnivals, concerts, and flea markets. You can easily add vibrant color and movement to your event with feather flags, like our VorTex™ Flag D110, a knitted flag fabric with excellent wind flow characteristics.

  • VorTex™ Flag D110

If you have outdoor tables, coolers, or other surfaces, consider covering them with stunning visuals. FabriTac® is our removable, adhesive fabric you can mount to any surface and reposition countless times. Who wouldn’t want to customize a cooler for the beach, or BBQ or even customize a golf cart for an event?

Planning an activity area for patrons? Why not use mat graphics to add extra pop to the cornhole game or play area. Printers everywhere use our FloorFlex® Plus printable vinyl solution for long-term indoor graphics and shorter-term outdoor displays.

Step up visibility with sidewalk signs and window graphics

The right signage can stop customers in their tracks as they stroll through town, shop for the new season, or search for outdoor dining. Take a look at some ways businesses are using MatFlex® Plus to decorate tabletops in fun and festive ways:

Do you have a big sale coming up? A new exhibit to promote? Maybe you simply need to reach out and encourage customers to come inside and look around. Your patrons will be mesmerized and motivated with the right window graphics, like these made from UltraVision® Window Perf:

Flexible Substrates - Ultima® EcoFlex

Is Your Business Thinking Green?
Is Your Business Thinking Green? 2560 1920 Kylie

Nearly 50 years ago, 20 million Americans protested all over the country, calling for businesses and communities to find ways to take better care of the environment and, in turn, protect human health. The protests launched an environmental movement and resulted in Earth Day, an event celebrated every spring since 1970. Since then, many companies have taken steps to help keep our planet healthy. Ultraflex is no exception.

Recently, we introduced Ultima® EcoFlex, a media product that is 100% free of PVC and phthalates, also known as plasticizers. The material is designed for outdoor advertising, wall coverings, banners and other displays. It is a high quality, durable and lightweight material. It’s also REACH compliant, fire-retardant and an excellent option for customers who are concerned about the chemicals used in their media materials.

 

But this blog is not a sell sheet for Ultima® EcoFlex.

We are extremely proud of this new offering, but that’s not why I’m trying to get your attention today.

Ultraflex is the world’s largest provider of digitally printable textiles and flexible substrates. We’re passionate about solving customers’ problems and offering superior solutions to meet market demands. As we search for and develop the best solutions for customers, we want to make sure our products are safe for people and the environment.

For example, last year, we commissioned a leading, product testing and certification company to conduct wipe testing across our product lines to determine if they contain potentially harmful chemicals listed by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (EHHA). By the way, the EHHA’s list contains approximately 900 harmful chemicals.

 

We passed the test with flying colors.

 Based on the wipe-testing results, a long list of our products contain very little to none of the questionable substances. The testing proved that these products are Prop 65-compliant, which means they are not harmful to drinking water, according to standards set by California’s Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.

This is good news for the environment and for distributors, end users and employees who handle these products.

Here’s this blog’s bottom line.

 Soon, Earth Day will come and go, but our company’s commitment to protecting the environment will stay strong every day of the year. We continue to monitor and comply with multiple rules and regulations that help sustain a healthy planet and healthy people.
