When people first discover AH Blanc, one question often follows:
“What makes it different?”
The answer lies in its patented core technology.
AH Blanc isn’t simply another fibre-based panel. It was the first product in the world to utilise a narrow diamond core structure with 3 mm cell widths—a breakthrough in engineered paper technology that fundamentally changed what a recyclable paper panel could achieve.
A Different Core Makes All the Difference
At the heart of AH Blanc is Pacfort’s patented Narrow Diamond Core (NDC), creating what is scientifically known as a Narrow Diamond Panel (NDP).
Unlike traditional honeycomb or fluted paper structures, the narrow diamond geometry distributes loads far more effectively. This unique internal design provides exceptional structural performance while using lightweight, fibre-based materials.
The result is a panel capable of withstanding compression strengths of up to 53 tonnes per square metre, making it remarkably robust despite being significantly lighter than conventional wood-based alternatives.
Engineered for Performance
The patented core doesn’t just improve compression strength.
AH Blanc also delivers exceptional:
- Compression strength
- Edge compression strength
- Puncture resistance
These mechanical properties allow the panel to perform in demanding applications where strength, durability and reliability are essential.
At the same time, its lightweight construction makes handling, transportation and installation easier, helping customers reduce logistics costs without compromising performance.
Built for the Visual Communications Industry
AH Blanc has become a preferred solution for a wide range of media and display applications, including:
- Exhibition stands
- Point of Sale (POS) displays
- Retail graphics
- Signage
- Visual communication systems
Its smooth white surface provides an excellent print finish while the internal structure delivers the rigidity required for large-format 2D or 3D display applications.
Innovation Meets Sustainability
Performance is only part of the story.
AH Blanc is manufactured using approximately 90% recycled paper fibres and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life. This allows businesses to choose a material that combines high mechanical performance with a reduced environmental impact.
As industries continue moving towards more sustainable materials, AH Blanc demonstrates that choosing recyclable solutions no longer means compromising on strength or quality.
More Than a Patent
A patent is more than legal protection—it represents genuine innovation.
AH Blanc’s patented Narrow Diamond Core is the result of rethinking how paper-based panels could be engineered to deliver greater strength, lower weight and improved sustainability in a single solution.
It’s this combination of engineering, performance and environmental responsibility that continues to set AH Blanc apart and makes it one of the most advanced paper-based media panels available today.
