5. A versatile material

Robust, warm and welcoming material par excellence, wood is the solution to consider for your POP displays. Depending on the application, we use chipboard, MDF, plywood, natural wood or other woods:

Particleboard, also known as chipboard, is a material made from pressed wood particles.

MDF consists of wood fibres that are compressed to form panels.

Multiplex (or plywood) consists of several layers for stability and mechanical strength.

Natural wood is more luxurious, often used to create an accent.

Oiled or stained, or not, with minimal processing natural wood remains rough creating a eco-friendly or authentic vintage look. But the opposite can also be achieved by polishing the wood and finish it with a high gloss varnish or paint.

Wood panels can be covered with a decorative surfacing material, such as melamine or laminate. To give them a lacquered look, we mould MDF with a polymer film.
