Pico Rivera, California-based Bay Cities has confirmed it has added Mako-BoardTM to its offering, a 100% recyclable, paper-based, water-resistant, outdoor-rated material for signage. This addition expands the robust material offerings and echoes Bay Cities’ continued innovation through cutting-edge industry advancements.
Mako-BoardTM is an environmentally-friendly alternative to foamboard, plastic and materials with polyethylene (PE) coating. The paper-based board is water resistant up to 12 weeks and works in the outdoors and within indoor retail environments that accumulate moisture or are humid. Mako-BoardTM is a sustainable replacement for temporary signage, which has been dominated until now by plastic substrates due to weather durability issues. It has a high resistance to tearing and supports an exceptional print quality. This Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified product can be recycled up to eight times.
“Mako-BoardTM is a groundbreaking development and delivers on sustainability and performance. We are excited to be at the forefront of a viable alternative to plastic and PE-coated outdoor signage products. The addition of Mako-BoardTM combines multiple benefits and will have a significant positive impact for our customers,” said Nanneke Dinklo, Sr. Director, Marketing & Branding of Bay Cities.
