Looking for an eco-friendly substrate for your next installation? Grimco’s got you covered with substrate options for both indoor and outdoor applications – always at the best price!
Falconboard®
Grimco is proud to offer Falconboard®, the fully recyclable rigid graphics media board from Hexacomb®. Falconboard® is designed to be used in interior applications where strong, rigid and even lightweight features are required. In addition to the Falconboard® Mount which works for roll media and mounting requirements, Grimco also offers Falconboard® Print for those applications that require a direct-to-print surface. 
Falconboard is made primarily from renewable forest resources and is approved for the Sustainable Forestry Initiative® (SFI®) certified sourcing label, which indicates renewable virgin and post-consumer recycled fibers.
Just as Hexacomb® says, “Stronger, flatter, GREENER, BETTER!”
More information on the sustainability of the Falconboard® products is available on the PCA website.

Swanson Group’s finished MDO substrates are produced, primarily, from trees grown and harvested in Oregon under the guidelines of the Oregon Forest Practices Act (OFPA), which was established in 1972.
