X-Board
X-Board is a strong, lightweight, eco-friendly value added kraft based composite board that is easy to print, cut and shape into an endless range of application opportunities. The product has a high recycled content consisting of more than 88% recovered pulp, FSC-approved virgin fibres and bagasse, a by-product which remains after extraction of the juice from the sugar cane.

The product is fully recyclable and repulpable with a cradle-to-cradle life cycle.

X-Board is considered an engineered material and a suitable environmental alternative to MDF, particle board and non-renewable petrochemical-based foamed-core boards.

Uses and Applications
X-Board can be used in many applications ranging from point of purchase solutions to signage, exhibition stands and shop fitting. Most of these applications require graphic print which is ideally suited to X-Board Print, a high quality print substrate. X-Board is also ideally suited to V-Cutting (Bevel Cut) which allows designers to create solutions that are intended to be flat packed. These designs are lightweight, easily transported and able to be simply assembled on site, resulting in positive sustainability benefits. X-Board Kraft is mostly used in non-print applications and shop fitting where laminates or painting is applied.
