Manchester, UK – July 2024 – Psycho Peacock, a leading large-format specialist graphics supplier based in Salford, Greater Manchester, has announced a new initiative to enhance sustainability in its product offerings.
The company is now using ST-216 R Nightstar and ST-601 R Starlight fabrics from Soyang Europe, providing customers with sustainable options for a wide range of applications.
For over 40 years, Psycho Peacock has delivered cutting-edge graphics solutions to clients in retail, events, museums, construction, and visitor attractions.
This new partnership with Soyang Europe aligns with the company’s long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility and sustainability.
Expanding a Successful Partnership
Psycho Peacock has enjoyed a fruitful partnership with Soyang Europe for more than half its operational life.
The collaboration has enabled Psycho Peacock to leverage Soyang’s vast industry knowledge and extensive product range to create eye-catching and effective graphics.
The introduction of ST-216 R Nightstar and ST-601 R Starlight fabrics marks a significant expansion of this relationship.
About the Sustainable Fabrics
ST-216 R Nightstar is a wrap-knitted blockout fabric known for its texture, opacity, softness, bending, and wrinkle resistance. Primarily used for dye-sublimation printing, it's ideal for backdrops, pop-up displays, and frame systems.
ST-601 R Starlight is a coated backlit fabric designed to prevent light leakage, making it perfect for light box applications. Its tight, textured structure and wrinkle resistance ensure high-quality, durable results.
Both fabrics are made from recycled PET bottle yarn, offering an environmentally friendly option for print companies and their customers.
Commitment to Sustainability
Andy McIntyre, General Manager of Psycho Peacock, explained that the decision to adopt these sustainable materials aligns with the company's core values.
“Choosing these sustainable materials fits seamlessly with our business goals and values,” Andy 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.”
Psycho Peacock utilizes its Durst P5 TEX i-Sub printer to produce work on these innovative materials. Although the company has only recently started using these fabrics, Andy McIntyre expressed optimism about their potential to open new market opportunities.
“We’re poised for growth and innovation,” Andy said. “Psycho Peacock is committed to strengthening its relationship with Soyang and is continuously developing its product offerings for our esteemed clients. Together, we aim to drive the graphics and printing industry towards a more sustainable future.”
