MGX Launches Two Innovative Substrates at PRINTING United Expo 2025: Unilustre™ Metallized Board and ReadyMAG® Pre-Magnetized PaperMGX is attending Printing United 2025 in Orlando Florida

St. Louis, MO — October 9, 2025 — MGX is excited to announce the debut of two groundbreaking products at this year’s PRINTING United Expo in Orlando, Florida: Unilustre™ Metallized Board and ReadyMAG® Pre-Magnetized Magnet Paper. Both are engineered to empower commercial printers and designers with high-performance, production-ready substrates that combine innovation and versatility.

Unilustre™: Sustainable Shine for the Digital Print Market

Developed in collaboration with Unifoil Corporation—Unilustre™ is a premium-grade, plastic-free, solvent-free, and certified 100% repulpable and recyclable metallized board. Designed for compatibility with HP Indigo, Dry Toner, and Offset presses, Unilustre™ enables printers and brand designers to achieve striking metallic effects while meeting their environmental goals.

“The MGX Unilustre offering is a major advancement in foil media for the print industry,” said Mike Blanco, MGX Director of R&D and Partner Relations. “It has been carefully developed to perform exceptionally well across leading digital press platforms while keeping sustainability in mind. The products have a vibrant surface, are non-laminated, plastic free, solvent free, and unlike other foil products in the market, they are 100% recyclable and repulpable.”

Available in Silver and Rainbow finishes and in 14 pt and 18 pt gauges, Unilustre™ gives designers and printers the flexibility to create premium, eye-catching pieces—all with a sustainable edge.

At PRINTING United 2025, Unilustre® will also be showcased in a special collaboration between Color-Logic, Unifoil, and several major OEM partners—demonstrating the creative potential of this innovative metallized board.

Renowned comic-book artist Greg Horn has created a series of collectible art pieces enhanced with Color-Logic’s metallic embellishment technology and printed on Unilustre® Foil Board, revealing how white + CMYK can interact with the board’s mirror-like surface to produce stunning visual effects.

  • Only 150 prints of each design will be available—making this a rare opportunity for collectors and print enthusiasts.
  • A new Greg Horn design will debut each day of the show, so attendees can return to complete the series.
  • Visitors can register daily at the Unifoil Corporation Booth for a chance to win an autographed Greg Horn print, with winners announced after the show.
