This pegboard overlay allows chain stores and nation-wide brands to quickly and easily change their retail environments for customized seasonal sales and promotions.

“Pegboard Skinz is great for in-store marketing, improving shopper experience through targeted messaging,” said Bob Brown, National Sales Manager. “You can easily and cost-effectively change the landscape of an entire retail environment, department, or brand without replacing existing pegboard. Pegboard Skinz go directly over top of existing pegboard and can be digitally printed to have any graphic whether it be a harvest scene for a Fall sale, a company logo, or abstract design to enhance your product.”

Panel Processing, Inc will work with your graphic house or digital printer or supply the completed project on paper sized and weighted to your exact specifications. In addition to the aforementioned benefits, Pegboard Skinz is a green product and reduces landfill waste by allowing you to get more mileage from your existing pegboard.

Two options are available to meet the needs of your desired outcome. Pegboard Skinz comes in Complete Hole, and Partial Cuts. The Complete Hole offers holes that line up with existing pegboard and Partial Cuts give the paper a cleaner look and hooks can be easily inserted through the partially perforated paper without ripping or tearing the paper.

“With changing customer needs, the introduction of new products, and the availability of new web technology, it was time for a comprehensive restructuring of the online window to our services,” said Mary Beth Stutzman, National Marketing Manager of Panel Processing, Inc. “The new www.panel.com is easier to use, represents our diverse range of capabilities, and provides increased flexibility for future growth. It will greatly improve the interactive experience of website visitors as we move ahead into new realms of service.”

Annually, thousands of users visit www.panel.com to investigate fabrication capabilities, coating treatments, and product offerings. The development of the new site began in 2010. Extensive research was performed in order to provide website visitors with an interactive, meaningful experience.

Furthermore, more efficient channels through which customers can communicate with Panel team members have been incorporated.

We look forward to feedback from our users and exciting new developments to come.”
