Premier and Customers Join Forces with Woodland Trust to Create a Lasting Green Legacy
June 2025 – Premier, in collaboration with Drytac, are pleased to announce the launch of PaperTac, a brand new fully recyclable, self-adhesive, premium, coated paper developed exclusively for the wide format sign and display market. Available exclusively through Premier in the UK and Ireland, PaperTac gives printers a practical, high-performing solution to help their customers reduce signage waste and meet their sustainability targets.
Commissioned by Premier’s Sign & Display team, PaperTac was developed in response to growing demand from customers and end-users for more recyclable print solutions. PaperTac features a 140gsm white matt coated paper with a clear permanent adhesive. It is compatible with aqueous, latex and UV print technologies, making it extremely versatile
PaperTac can be mounted to a rigid fibre-based display board, and because it is 100% recyclable, the entire product can be recycled in a single waste stream. There is no need to separate the adhesive paper face layer from the substrate. That means even printers without direct to substrate capabilities can offer their customers a signage solution that is not only high-quality and durable but also fully recyclable at end-of-life.
“PaperTac represents a significant step forward for printers and end users wanting to make more sustainable choices, reducing waste and diverting it from landfill”, said Brad West, Wide Format Director, UK & Ireland. “By combining PaperTac with fibre-based boards, PSPs can offer a recyclable alternative to traditional indoor signage, all without needing a flatbed printer. It’s a practical solution that allows customers to utilise their current roll-fed printing equipment even further to support clients’ environmental goals with amazing print results!”
Give your customers a recyclable signage option, with no compromise
PaperTac achieved an impressive 91/100 recyclability score in testing under the CEPI Recyclability Test Method v2 (October 2022). Both the face paper and adhesive were proven to recycle together with no visual or adhesion issues, allowing the final signage, when mounted to a fibre-based board, to be recycled like standard fibre-based waste.
Printers can pair PaperTac with rigid, fibre-based substrates such as:
- Oppboga Excellent Display
- Oppboga Display Board
- Ultra Board 3D
- Ultra Board 2D
- Ultra Board Universal
- Ultra Board Graphic
These combinations allow you to deliver recyclable signage for clients in retail, events, exhibitions and are perfect for campaigns with environmental goals or corporate sustainability commitments.
A plastic-free alternative, even without a flatbed
PaperTac is an excellent choice for printers without flatbed equipment. Simply print the graphic on your roll-fed printer, then mount it to a suitable rigid board. It’s a low barrier way to create standout, mounted displays without investing in new hardware, while offering an eco-friendly advantage.
With water-repellent and scratch-resistant properties, PaperTac also delivers up to five years’ indoor durability, making it ideal for:
- Retail and promotional signage
- Point-of-sale displays
- Exhibition and event graphics
- Short-term indoor mounted posters
Available now, exclusively from Premier
