COALA PRINTBOND 128 BASE
Coala Printbond 128 Base is an Aluminium Composite Panel combining two 0.12 aluminium skins on a black LDPE core. The 80μ Coala easy-peel liner is specially processed to avoid “ghost” images when printing. Coala’s optimized Digital matt White surface is perfect for UV flatbed printing. Additionally uniform flatness, caliper and dimensional sheet stability ensure the panel is an excellent choice for full coverage digital printing. Coala Printbond 128 Base is ideal for cost effective two dimensional applications.

Green Star Rating
What are we measuring?
Just like a hotel – a star rating isn’t based on an emotional feeling or someone’s best guess, it’s forcefully grounded in a strict set of criteria that’s measured meticulously and consistently.
Likewise, the Green Star Rating analyses a clearly defined set of metrics within two key parameters: raw material and end of life.
Raw material
Lower ratings are given to materials made from virgin fossil fuels – basically, plastics – while higher scores are applied to renewable materials, and even higher for products made of recycled materials. Raw materials can either come from fossil and mineral sources (non-renewable) or from renewable/biosourced sources.
We have defined four categoriess:
• NON-RECYCLED FOSSIL FUELS are hydrocarbons; primarily coal, fuel or natural gases that are not derived from plant sources – made from non-recycled/virgin raw material
• NON-RECYCLED RENEWABLE & BIOSOURCED material of plants which are based on the photosynthetic primary production – made from non-recycled/virgin raw material
• RECYCLED FOSSIL FUELS having been used before and then put through a process so that it can form a new product
• RECYCLED RENEWABLE & BIOSOURCED having been used before and then put through a process so that it can form a new product.
End of life
Here we consider how the product is dealt with after use. For example, is it difficult to recycle? Does it contain hazardous substances that don’t comply with the EU’s REACH regulations?
• LOW RECYCLABILITY - The product is very difficult to recycle, either due to fundamental design issues or lack of a specific waste stream. This is the case for multi-composite materials or materials that include other substances, such as additives and adhesives.
• MID RECYCLABILITY - The raw material is difficult to recycle because of the lack of a specific waste stream widely present in the European Union. This is the case for plastics made with single material polymers, such as PVC and PU.
• HIGH RECYCLABILITY - A highly effective process is in place to recover plastic waste and reprocess the material into useful products. Common examples include PET, PP and PE.
• REACH - A regulation adopted by the European Union to improve the protection of human health and the environment from risks related to toxic chemicals.
