POLAR™ Display Board
What is POLAR™ Display Board?
POLAR™ is an all-paper display board featuring bright white, clay-coated paper facers bonded to a rigid honeycomb paper core. It delivers outstanding flatness and dimensional stability while preventing core “read-through” lines for a pristine print surface.
Available in 1/4″, 1/2″, and 3/4″ thicknesses, and in white or natural core, POLAR™ is optimized for medium-term promotional, retail, and exhibit applications where direct digital print quality and sustainability are essential.
Advantages of POLAR™
- Optimized for direct digital printing – coated facers provide high-quality print performance
- Specialty paper prevents “read-through” from the core
- Uses the same printing specifications as FOME-COR®
- Can be direct-printed on both sides
- Lightweight, rigid, and dimensionally stable
- Flexible facers allow V-cutting and bending for 3D displays
- Easy to cut with manual or CNC cutters
- Available with white or natural core
Key Benefits
- Premium, consistent honeycomb structure for stable performance
- Clay-coated facers yield vibrant, sharp digital and screen prints
- Recyclable through standard paper waste streams
- Non-directional rigidity – equal strength lengthwise and crosswise
- Medium-term application life for POP/POS, exhibits, signage, and more
