Graphic Art Mart has announced an exclusive partnership with South African-based company Xanita, with its product and vendor relations manager Mark Canavan proudly announcing their deal.
Canavan also thanked Xanita founder and CEO James Beattie and his staff for travelling to Australia and training the Graphic Art Mart teams across the country recently.
“Your workshops and training sessions gave our team here at Graphic Art Mart valuable insights into the innovative Xanita product range and the many opportunities it offers our customers,” Canavan said.
“We appreciate the time, knowledge, and passion you both shared with us, and we’re excited for the future of Xanita at Graphic Art Mart.”

When it comes to display and exhibition applications, traditional rigid substrates often force a compromise. Strong, durable materials such as MDF are heavy and difficult to handle, while lightweight options like corrugated and honeycomb boards lack the structural performance and durability required for demanding applications. Foamed core PVC offers strength and lightness, but falls short on sustainability, with limited end‑of‑life options.
Xanita’s engineered fibreboard delivers structural performance, easy handling, and sustainability in a single substrate that can be used in place of these conventional rigid materials. At Graphic Art Mart, Xanita has launched two of its most popular fibreboard solutions – Xanita Premium Print and Xanita Aspect Print.
What’s different about Xanita substrates?
Unlike other substrates that usually offer either strength or durability, lightweight handling (foamed core PVC), or sustainability (honeycomb boards), Xanita fibreboards delivers all of these. Xanita products are specially engineered fibreboards designed for:
- Strength – load bearing capability with a high strength-to-weight ratio
- Processing – clean and efficient CNC routing
- Fabrication – can be slotted, tabbed and folded without need for metal frameworks
- Handling – flat-packable for easier shipping and handling
- Visual quality – consistent printing for professional finishes
- Durability – closed-cell core and more moisture resistance than other fibreboard alternatives for extended performance
Xanita also offers additional design and engineering services, helping users from concept to production.
Xanita Premium Print
Xanita Premium Print is a lightweight, fibre‑based composite board engineered to deliver premium semi-permanent displays and builds. Constructed from a high‑crush‑strength recycled paper core, Xanita Premium Print features an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, perfect for 3D displays, exhibition stand, event branding and interiors.
This composite board has smooth, coated surfaces which are optimised for direct digital printing, supporting Latex, Solvent and UV ink technologies, ensuring the consistency and quality required for premium finishes.
Xanita Premium Print offers a sustainable alternative to traditional rigid substrates such as PVC and MDF, delivering not only structural performance and print quality, but also a fully recyclable substrate that does not compromise on function or finish.
Xanita Aspect Print
Xanita Aspect Print is a lightweight, fibre-based composite board which delivers a cost-effective fibreboard solution, featuring a high strength-to-weight ratio compared to alternative lightweight rigid materials such as corrugated boards and foamed core PVC boards. Xanita Aspect Print is ideal for short-term signage and 2D applications such as event branding and standees.
Offering strength‑to‑weight performance greater than corrugated boards and foamed core PVC, Aspect Print features smooth surfaces with no dimpling, ensuring dependable, consistent quality digital printing across latex, solvent and UV ink technologies.
Xanita Premium Print and Aspect Print are both now available from Graphic Art Mart.
