EAGLECELL™ The Eco-Friendly Alternative To Plastic
As the world is becoming more and more climate conscious, there has been an increase in demand for eco-friendly and green options within the plastics industry for consumer and commercial products alike. A recent addition and alternative to traditional plastics is EAGLECELL™, an all-paper honeycomb alternative to plastic graphics boards.
At Mulford Plastics, we pride ourselves on adopting new technologies and products that will have a positive impact on the environment, and have been leading the way with new products and innovative materials across the Asia Pacific Region for 75 years. Let’s take a deeper look into the new EAGLECELL™ product to find out what it is, how it's made, and its multiple uses and its benefits.
What Is EAGLECELL™
EAGLECELL™ is a recyclable, eco-friendly alternative to plastic, metal and wood as an all-paper honeycomb graphics board with a 100% fully recyclable paper core and surface papers. EAGLECELL™ features triple-thick, bright white clay coated liners manufactured for superior ink coverage and exceptional colour gloss. The Kraft colour core is bonded to bright-white SFI certified surface papers—part of the ColorOne™ White Point Management System.
How Is EAGLECELL™ Made
EAGLECELL™ is made from a 100% fully recyclable paper core and surface liners with a honeycomb structural design. The core is developed with a series of triangular cells with a proprietary open core design and engineered with 95% open space making it lightweight with a high strength, rigidity and warp resistance with the ability to carry heavy, compressive, and bending loads.
The core is bonded to bright-white SFI certified surface papers as part of the new Gilman Brothers ColorOne™ White Point Management System that delivers ideal colour balance under any light source and making it perfect for exhibition and display applications where more than one type of board may be required. This is particularly important for logo prints in which having accurate colour displays and consistency throughout the full line of white graphic boards is crucial.
The EAGLECELL™ graphics board is available in both White and Kraft in the Core Colour and Liner Colour, with White/Kraft/White and White/White/White combinations. The graphics board is available in, 6.35mm, 12.7mm the popular 19.05mm, up to 50.8mm thicknesses; from 1,219mm x 2,438mm up to custom widths and lengths of 3,657mm x 4,876mm.

Benefits of EAGLECELL™
EAGLECELL™ has a number of benefits over traditional plastics boards and signage, these include:
An Eco-Friendly Alternative to Plastic
EAGLECELL™ is the recyclable, eco-friendly option for replacing plastic, metal and wood as an all-paper honeycomb graphics board with 100% fully recyclable paper core and surface papers - fully compatible with any recycle program.
Structural Strength & Rigidity
Due to EAGLECELL™ proprietary open core design engineered with 95% open space, the honeycomb graphic boards are lightweight while delivering superior structural strength similar to I-beam that makes it perfect for carrying shear, bending and compressive loads which provide outstanding strength, rigidity and warp resistance.
According to third party testing, EAGLECELL™ provides superior compressive strength with a higher PSI than competing boards.
Moisture-Resistant Clay Coated Printing Surface
The triple-thick, bright white clay coated liners used in the EAGLECELL™ result in superior ink coverage and exceptional colour gloss. Being a part of the Gilman Brothers ColorOne™ White Point Management System also provides the graphics board with better colour displays.
Superior Performance on ZÜND, ESKO and other digital cutters/routers
