SHEET Materials Creating a strong, durable aluminium composite
proBOND®, launched in 2015, is an exclusive range of quality Aluminium Composite Material (ACM) that has been specifically developed to offer customers a genuine high quality sheet, whether it’s for short-term digital print projects or high-end corporate ID signage.
“proBOND has all the properties required including strength, a popular brighter white colour with excellent ink adhesion and at a highly competitive price,” says Richard Proctor, Director for PPB Ltd.
Northampton based Studio One were com- missioned to supply hoarding boards around a perimeter fence, and opted to use proBOND for the job. “We needed a strong, durable aluminium composite that printed and laminated without any difficulties,” said Danny Golden, Commercial Director Studio One. “proBOND gave us a reliable solution that enabled us to turn this project around in 3-4 working days from site survey to print, lamination and installation.”
Richard Proctor Director at PPB Ltd, also commented: “We have seen a very good level of sales of Metallic silver proBOND this year which is above that of many other colours and really demonstrates a present trend for metallic colours.

However, customers are not only looking for quality products but also for a consultative approach, support and material advice. PPB were delighted to have helped Studio One by recommending the best substrate solution that would meet the exact require- ments of a very specific brief.”
Introducing POLYCASA At the end of 2016, PPB announced that it was a UK stockist of POLYCASA Acrylic sheets.

The new range includes the AKRYLON®, CRYLON® XT and CRYLUX® CAST Acrylic ranges. This stock investment has already been strengthened by the further addition last month of CRYLUX® ARGENTA Cast Acrylic sheets, adding to it’s industrial plastics portfolio. “Special colours and characteristics are proving
highly popular as customers are looking to differentiate luxury sign applications,” says Richard. “ARGENTA stands out from other acrylic materials as it has a unique sparkling look which grabs the attention. The front side is metallic coloured and is charac- terised by a gloss effect, while the metallic silver reverse side is opaque. Both Poly- casa and Argenta offer the sign maker/printer/end user the chance to use self-coloured materials from stock rather than having to try and print plain white sheets to try and create the same finish thereby reducing the time taken/costs of producing a job but for brand owners also ensuring the same colour is achieved time after time.”
According to Richard, PPB has noticed a real increase in customer’s requirements for final cut job sized sheets and panels, as they are looking at ways to reduce both material wastage and their stock levels. “ Orders tend to be job specific, so in Febru- ary of this year, we relocated our in-house conversion facility, including our Schelling Saw and Cauhe Guillotine, to a new Leeds site to improve our service offering. The additional space and accessible M1 location help us to better manage the conversion processes.” As many clients also need a fast turnaround, PPB’s conversion service is often within 24 hours of order to delivery, sometimes less. “Our cutting and sheeting facilities and own fleet of vehicles help cus- tomers to reduce their own production lead-times and guarantees accurate con- version prior to production – very rarely does a printer or signmaker order for stock.”
