ince its unveiling last year, BIOND has had a major impact on the global print
market. Developed in house by Digidelta, BIOND is a bio-based technology that represents a definitive crossover between sustainability and printing performance, presenting users with numerous exciting opportunities within sustainable print production. Key to the success of BIOND has been
the significant flexibility of materials within the range. Each product is compatible with multiple printing technologies – including UV LED, UV gel, latex, and eco-solvent – meaning these innovative offerings fit seamlessly into existing production environments, without the need for investment in specialist equipment.
Marquee features BIOND films feature a unique polymer structure, ensuring outstanding printability and dimensional stability. Materials behave in the same way as traditional PVC vinyl and can be stretched without tearing, making them suitable for a wide range of sign and graphics applications. In addition, a bubble-free adhesive system is included as standard, ensuring smooth application. On top of this, BIOND is available in
several formats – including printing films and protection films – with each range

a specialist supplier and distributor of print and signage products in Denmark, said: “Across Scandinavia – and particularly in Denmark – brand owners are actively demanding more sustainable solutions. For many of the larger companies, sustainability is written into their business strategies and ESG commitments. “They are already implementing more
responsible solutions across areas such as media, cardboard packaging, freight optimisation, recycling and upcycling. It’s no longer just a buzzword; it’s becoming a reality of everyday business. “While smaller sign makers and print
providers may historically have focused less on sustainability, that is changing quickly. Their customers – especially larger brands – are asking for environmentally responsible materials, which means they are increasingly looking for alternatives they can introduce into their production.” Looking ahead, Kim believes bio-
based materials like BIOND will become increasingly important as sustainability regulations tighten and businesses look to strengthen their environmental credentials. He explained: “Many
companies want to build a greener profile, and ranges like BIOND help them achieve that. Over time, we may see higher taxes or restrictions on some traditional materials such as PVC, which will accelerate the shift towards alternatives. We see BIOND as a very important product range for the future.
New demands In response to this burgeoning customer demand, the specialist team at Digidelta continues to evolve the BIOND range. Each BIOND material has between 80% to 97% bio-based content created from vegetable-based products, which absorbs carbon dioxide during growth, reducing its total footprint by more than 80%. Crucially, the range has recently secured independent OK bio-based certification from TÜV Austria confirming these credentials. Armando Mota, CEO of Digidelta, said:
“We have been delighted with the early response to BIOND. Since we launched the range at FESPA 2025, we have seen many examples of customers putting the materials to use across a wide range of innovative applications. “One of the most important aspects of
BIOND is printers can adopt it immediately within their existing production environments. They don’t need new machines, new training or new workflows – they simply switch to a more sustainable material while continuing to deliver the same high-quality applications their customers expect.”
