MATERIAL DATA SHEET
Single Sided– Priplak Polyprop can be digitally printed direct to the face of the material on our large format printers using UV cured inks which offer market leading print quality, robustness and longevity.
Double Sided – Priplak Polyprop can be printed on both sides with the same or varying artwork images. Our large format printers allow for perfect registration given accurate double sided prints.
Spot White– When working with colour variations of Priplak Polyprop we can still print direct to surface in full colour underpinning your print with a spot white to ensure it is as vibrant as it would have been if printed on a white sheet.
Spot White (Clear Material) – With clear materials a white ink is often required to add the ability to include white areas of a design or to underpin CMYK printing to give it a denser appearance.
White Flood – Priplak Polyprop can be printed with a full coverage white ink layer to back up a colour printed design giving you the appearance of a white background. This is popular when printing in reverse.
Backlit Mode – When producing light box graphics, or prints that will be illuminated from behind we can print in backlit mode to increase the saturation of ink to ensure your design retains its intended look and finish.

PRIPLAK® is a strong yet flexible plastic sheet, ideal for communication and display products, packaging and stationery. It can be converted in many ways, and is loved by designers and specifiers because of its fresh, modern appearance. The brand is now so well known that PRIPLAK® has become the generic term for polypropylene sheets.
Printing on polypropylene sheets offers many advantages due to its composition. It is a polyolefin, and doesn’t contain any halogens, or Chlorine.
It is also free from any plastifiers, such as phtalates, which are often used in the production of PVC. After finishing with a product made from Priplak, the material can be recycled, or burnt or added to landfill, without any risk of toxic substances harming the environment or people’s health.
During its lifecycle, one of the key features of polypropylene is its ability to be recycled many times without any significant change in its physical properties. Priplak has also embarked on an ambitious scheme to collect some of the waste from larger customers. Together with its physical characteristics this has enabled Priplak to develop a certified range of 100% recycled polypropylene sheet.
Polypropylene Sheet is popular for lightweight signage, packaging displays, POS items, hanging boards, and temporary indoor/outdoor signage. It’s tough but flexible, making it excellent for displays that need durability without adding weight. Its resistance to moisture also makes it suitable for damp environments or short-term outdoor use.
Yes, polypropylene is fully recyclable, making it a great choice for sustainability-focused projects. Its low environmental impact and robust performance make it a popular alternative to PVC-based materials. For another eco option, see Triaprint Board.
