Material library

Understand the whole construction.

The substrate is only the beginning. Keep inks, finishes, adhesives, fixings and reusable hardware in the same decision record.

Family guidance supports discovery. Product-specific factors and universal recovery claims are not asserted.

Fibre

Paper

A broad family for posters, inserts and short-term graphics; finish and mounting define the delivered assembly.

Fibre

Corrugated board

A layered fibre construction used for cartons and temporary display forms, with strength and direction that need matching to the job.

Fibre

Fibre display board

Rigid paper-based display boards need variant-specific print, fixing and finished-assembly evidence.

Polymer

Polypropylene sheet

Specify grade, density, finish and attachments before evaluating a PP sheet application or route.

Polymer and textile

PET / polyester

PET may appear as sheet, film or fibre; the form and treatment determine the practical use and destination questions.

Polymer

PVC film and banner constructions

A family requiring precise application, formulation, coating and destination information; compare feasible service alternatives.

View the questions
Textile

Textile graphics

Record fibre blend, fabric mass, coating, ink and edge fitting with the retained frame.

Metal

Aluminium frames and systems

Treat reusable systems as identifiable assets with condition, compatible parts and documented next uses.

Fibre and composite

Timber and plywood

Durable panels and constructions need sourcing, coating, connection and use evidence for the specific variant.

Feedstock and treatment claim

Bio-based and compostable variants

These descriptors need separate substantiation; they are not a single environmentally preferable material family.
