Walki Print Media XXL
Large format print media without PVC. Built for performance. Designed for recyclability.
PVC-free banner materials for indoor and outdoor signage, advertising and decoration
Lightweight & recyclable. Ready for modern printing technologies.
The Walki Print Media XXL range is designed for a new generation of large format printing – where performance, compliance and material choices matter as much as visual impact.
Built on polyolefin-based nonwoven and coated structures, these materials provide a PVC-free alternative to traditional banners while maintaining the durability, printability and handling properties required by professional printers and media suppliers.
Compared to conventional PVC banners, Walki solutions are:
- Over 50% lighter, reducing logistics and handling costs
- Designed for recyclability, supporting circular material flows
- Free from plasticisers, heavy metals and halogens
- Produced in Europe with certified raw materials
As highlighted in the Walki white paper, PVC banners remain widely used but present significant environmental and end-of-life challenges, including limited recyclability and the release of hazardous substances during disposal.
Walki Print Media XXL offers a practical, scalable alternative.

| Supply | EU-based | Often imported |
Typically polyolefins such as PP or PE, sometimes PET, designed for recyclability and reduced environmental impact.
Yes, modern materials offer comparable tear strength, printability and outdoor durability for most applications.
Mono-material structures like Walki’s can be recycled in existing polyolefin streams.
UV inks are widely supported, and selected grades also support Latex printing.
Due to environmental and health concerns, including emissions during disposal and limited recycling options.
