The British government is continually urging the public to be more environmentally-friendly, although many feel the onus is on businesses and companies, both large and small, to make the first step. Printdesigns, the leading provider of exhibition stands, display stands and banner stands, is encouraging firms to do their part.

The firm, which is committed to being green-friendly, offers a range of eco-friendly stands, including the Bamboo X banner stand. In fact, Printdesigns asserted itself as an industry leader, by being one of the first companies to offer bamboo banner stands, as part of its extensive catalogue of products.

A spokesperson from the firm, which offers a range of exclusive and unique exhibition stands, banner stands and pop-up stands, said, “Our new range of bamboo banner stands really is a testament to our commitment to being as environmentally-friendly as possible. Here at Printdesigns, we print graphics onto a material derived from corn fires, which is biodegradeable over time. So, not only are we striving to do our part but our customers are also contributing, which is fantastic!”

When it comes to printing banner stands, the Printdesigns team use inks that are not solvent-based, as solvents contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are bad for the environment. The firm also encourages recycling among its staff and has implemented the use of energy saving light bulbs, to further do its part.

The spokesperson added, “The environment is something that affects everyone, and so it’s obviously important to look after it for future generations. Anything that we as a company and as individuals can do to help, we will endeavour to do.”

Coming early 2009 a new environmentally friendly banner stand made from Bamboo!

We have been developing our new bamboo banner since mid 2008, working alongside our manufacturer and we are please to announce that these products have now been manufactured and are currently being shipped to us.

In response to increasing demands from our customers for new ‘greener’ products, our new range of bambo banner stands have been produced using material from sustainable plantations.

Manufacturing our banner stands from bamboo is a great way of offsetting the CO2 created in the manufacturing and distribution cycle given that the bamboo quickly consumes the gas in the 2 Year growth cycle until harvest.

We have three different types of bamboo banner stand available. The roller banner stand, the tensioned bamboo X-banner and the bamboo poster holder with variable height and the ability to accept graphics are varying heights.

Graphics for our bamboo banner stands will be printed onto natural textiles using UV cured ink which contains no solvents or VOC’s and the stands themselves will be supplied in attractive, natural-look carry bags.
