Coroplast's main product is corrugated plastic sheet. This plastic sheet is the building material that will serve so many functions, only your imagination is the limit.
Coroplast's main product is corrugated plastic sheet. This plastic sheet is the building material that will serve so many functions, only your imagination is the limit.
Coroplast comes in a variety of styles, all based upon the Coroplast high quality corrugated plastic sheet. Our standard sheet has been treated to allow for excellent adhesion quality to aid in printing for the graphics arts fields. It is also extremely durable because it is waterproof and resistant to stains and most chemicals.
The name Coroplast applies to a wide range of extruded twinwall plastic sheet products produced from a high impact polypropylene copolymer. Coroplast uses a copolymer resin in order to increase impact and low temperature performance. Chemically, the sheet is inert, with a NIL pH factor. At regular temperatures most oils, solvents and water have no effect, allowing it to perform under adverse weather conditions or as a product component exposed to harsh chemicals.
All Coroplast twinwall profile sheets can be modified with additives, which are melt-blended into the sheet to meet the specific needs of the customer. Special products that require additives include: ultra violet protection, anti-stat, flame retardant, custom colors, corrosive inhibitors, static-dissipative, etc.
Coroplast products are offered in a wide range of standard and opaque colors. The sheet is extruded in widths across the corrugation up to 106" (corona treated to 102") with gauges ranging from 2mm to 12mm in thickness.
Graphics
The Coroplast name is known throughout the Sign Industry for a Consistent High Quality Printable Surface. This reputation allows Coroplast the recognition of being the material supplied through the largest number of Plastics and Sign Supply Distributors in North America.
Packaging
As a Packaging Material, Coroplast is unmatched in durability, design versatility and reusability. No product offers the benefits of Coroplast for constructing custom plastic containers and packaging. Where parts protection is essential and cost reduction imperative, the durability Coroplast offers is unequaled. When examining the cost of procurring and the consequent disposal associated with expendable packaging, Coroplast is the ideal solution for the environment and the cost conscious manager.

Here we go. Moment of truth time. When the graphic design concept you’ve been working on gets transferred to a new surface. Will it tear clean? Will it release from the surface smoothly? Will the corners curl? Customers who use Main Tape rarely have to ask these questions. Why? Because we already did – of our own graphic transfer products before we ever put our name on them. It’s what makes our full line of products the industry standard when it comes to protecting and stabilizing a digital print environment.
Graphics should only come off one way: Brilliant.
There’s really no middle ground in the arena of transfer tape.
No gray area.
No scale of 1-10.
Graphics have to be transferred, positioned and protected 100% seamlessly. Every time. That demands the kind of paper transfer tape and clear transfer film that has to be the best in the world.
Good thing that’s exactly what we’ve produced at Main Tape.
For vinyl decals. Fleet graphics. Flat cut out vinyl letters. Emblems. Digital printing.
No matter what, the end result of a design transfer is going to be there for all to witness. Make sure it’s the version that ends with you having a smile on your face.
