When You’re Unlike Anything Else

There’s a reason ‘Luxe’ is in our name. We are the world’s leading manufacturer of superior print mediums.


Through dye sublimation, images are infused directly into our specially coated sheets of metal, wood and tabletop panels to create the most luxurious, vibrant and long lasting photo medium in the world.

All coatings and substrates are made in the U.S.A. with manufacturing and fabrication done in Louisville, KY. Our additional locations in Belgium and Australia allow us to serve our global customer base and supply our products to more than 80 countries worldwide.


ChromaLuxe is an extension of the Universal Woods family, the world’s leading manufacturer of hard surface sublimatable products and mezzanine decking. It is also a sister brand to Unisub, which provides the highest quality sublimatable custom products.

  • Material can be recycled.
  • 10% of material comes from Sawmill waste.
  • MDF products are purchased through a mill that is part of the Composite Panel Association Eco-Certified Composite Grademark Program (GM Program). The GM Program requires the mill to periodically be tested to confirm compliance and also requires that a mill’s quality control system meet strict criteria for personnel, procedures and facilities. This is a voluntary standard and is the optimal use of forestry byproducts and residuals – turning recycled and reclaimed material into higher value products to it’s not wasted.
  • The composite wood panels we purchase from Georgia-Pacific are among the greenest products available; only products carrying the ECC-certified logo are produced in a manufacturing plant or facility that is audited and certified by CPA.
  • The standard focuses on life cycle inventory and other verifiable environmental practices and highlights the responsible use of wood fiber by composite panel manufacturers.
  • Our ECC certified MDF procured products are California Air Resources Board (CARB) compliant - No added formaldehyde (NAF: CARB Executive Order N-15-021).
  • The source plant demonstrates that the panel’s carbon store offsets its cradle-to-gate carbon footprint as determined in kg-CO2 equivalents of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The plant uses the CPA Carbon Calculator to determine if a panel performs as a carbon sink resulting in overall net carbon storage.
  • At least 85% of total annual wood fiber used is sourced within 250 miles (402 km) of the manufacturing plant.
  • Our MDF is comprised of Recycled/Recovered material and uses a minimum of 75% recycled or recovered fiber; OR at least 50% recycled or recovered fiber AND a minimum of 5% post-consumer fiber. Percentages are calculated on a weight basis as measured in bone dry tons (bdt).
  • The source plant for our MDF product has documented that greater than 97% fiber furnish brought on-site to manufacture panels is either converted into panels or other non-waste products.
  • The source plant hold a valid assessment and certificate from a certifying agency recognized by CPA such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC—Controlled Wood Standard or Chain of Custody Standard) or the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI—Fiber Sourcing Standard).
