ST-216 R Nightstar and ST-601 R Starlight fabrics from Soyang Europe has increased sustainable options for customers, says Psycho Peacock
Manchester-based Psycho Peacock has been providing specialist graphics to clients in the retail, events, museums, construction, and visitor attractions sectors for more than 40 years and has a long working partnership with Soyang Europe.
This relationship has developed further as Psycho Peacock can now offer ST-216 R Nightstar and ST-601 R Starlight, both of which are designed to provide customers with a more sustainable offering as they are made from recycled PET bottle yarn.
It was this feature that particularly appealed to Andrew McIntyre, General Manager of Psycho Peacock, as it aligns with the company’s own core values of sustainability and environmental responsibility.
“Choosing these sustainable materials fits seamlessly with our business goals and values,” Andrew said. “Our ESSA accreditation on the exhibition side of the business underscores our commitment to sustainable practices, including the Reconomy sustainability closed loop.
“We didn’t adopt sustainability to gain a competitive edge, but it has naturally fortified our market position. Our goal is to lead by example, encouraging the industry to adopt sustainable practices.”
ST-216 R Nightstar is a wrap-knitted blockout fabric with textured surface on its front side and black coating on the back. Mainly used for dye-sublimation printing, the product offers excellent opacity, softness, bending resistance and wrinkle-resistance, making it an effective solution for applications such as backdrops, pop-up displays and frame systems.
The ST-601 R Starlight is a coated backlit with woven based fabric featuring a tight textured structure with a coating. This means the material does not suffer from any light leakage, which, coupled with good wrinkle-resistance, makes it a popular solution for light box applications.
While the company has only been working with these latest introductions from Soyang Europe for a short period of time, Andrew said he is already looking at how the fabrics can help Psycho Peacock move into new markets.
“We’re poised for growth and innovation,” Andrew said. “Psycho Peacock is committed to strengthening its relationship with Soyang and is continuously developing its product offerings for its esteemed clients. Together, we aim to drive the graphics and printing industry towards a more sustainable future.”
