Decorative Panels Lamination has developed a substrate that meets the evolving demands of modern manufacturing across multiple industries — including the furniture, mobile leisure, exhibition, marine, commercial, and architectural sectors. dp-lite is a lightweight, high-performance “sandwich” board that delivers outstanding benefits in both cost-efficiency and sustainability.
Key benefits of dp-lite include:
Significant weight savings
dp-lite offers up to 60% weight reduction compared to traditional chipboard, lowering material costs and simplifying handling during production and transportation. Whether used for furniture, mobile leisure products, or exhibition displays, dp-lite creates lighter, easier-to-manage products, without sacrificing structural integrity.
Superior strength with honeycomb core
The innovative honeycomb core of dp-lite provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, enhancing durability while keeping a lightweight profile. This makes dp-lite ideal for industries where both strength and weight are critical, such as marine, architectural, and commercial applications.
Easy processing
Designed for ease of onward processing, dp-lite offers versatility in cutting, drilling, and shaping, reducing production time and costs. Its reliable performance during post-processing ensures consistent high-quality finishes for both mass production and bespoke designs.
Sustainability
The construction of dp-lite uses less wood-based raw material than traditional substrates, resulting in a reduced environmental impact. By choosing dp-lite, manufacturers can lower their carbon footprint while still delivering high-quality, functional products.
Versatile applications
dp-lite is highly versatile, making it suitable for a wide range of applications:
- Furniture: Lightweight, durable, and easy to process for modern, high-performance designs.
- Mobile leisure: Ideal for mobile applications where weight savings and strength are essential.
- Exhibition: Easy to handle and transport, yet strong enough to withstand the rigours of temporary displays.
- Marine: Resistant to tough marine conditions while keeping weight down.
- Commercial & architectural: Provides structural strength with a lighter profile, ideal for offices, retail environments, etc.
