Manufacturing

Indoor & outdoor use

Corflute® Signs are made from Australian polypropylene. Polypropylene is extremely long lasting, durable and water resistant making it an excellent plastic for indoor and outdoor applications.

Easy to cut

Corflute® is a fluted (or corrugated) extruded sheet so although Corflute® Signs are rigid, the flutes make them light weight. The flutes also make cutting the signs to size very easy.

No eyelets or PVC

We create holes in Corflute Signs but choose not to use eyelets to make recycling possible

We do not use PVC for your promotional print, but rather print directly to the Corflute creating a clean product perfect for seamless recycling at Corex Recycling.

Corflute Sign Printing

Corflute® Signs are corona treated for supreme ink adhesion and treated with a UV stabiliser increasing the lifespan of the product.

We digitally print your artwork directly to Corflute® on our high-resolution UV flatbed presses.

Recycling Preparation

So that we can recycle your used election signs, we need you to check for contaminants and remove them.

At Corex Recycling, we refer to a contaminant as the presence of materials or a substance other that Corflute®.

We need your Corflute® Signs to be free of contaminates so that we can; shred, melt and make recycled pellets from it which enables us to make products for tomorrow.

Check for contaminants

Your Corflute® election sign may have no contaminants. If your graphics have been printed directly to the Corflute® and there are no eyelets, you probably have a contaminant free sign.

Often, election signage doesn’t need protective PVC film over the surface or eyelets to protect the holes that allow it to be secured to a fence. People tend to use these extra elements when a sign is being used for longer than 6 months.

Remove Contaminants

PVC laminates, paper, tapes & glues

If your Corflute® sign is super shiny and you can pick a layer of plastic from a corner, this is PVC.

Contaminants to look for and remove:

  • PVC film
  • Paper
  • Tapes and glues
Eyelets & supporting additions

Plastic and metal eyelets may be used around the holes to prevent tearing.

Using a Stanley knife or similar, cut the Corflute® area where the eyelets are attached. It’s easiest to cut a straight line across the top of the sheet and so on.

Also remove any cable ties or timber stakes used to support the Corflute® signs.

Recycling
