According to the press release, Akij Board Product Development team came up with a solution by introducing new technology to produce boards made with wood chips from tree branches instead of logs. The products allow engraved designs up to four mm, can be lacquered and sanded, have filler materials, and surprisingly take less time and cost to achieve a smoother lacquered finish.
The new product, named "Lacquer Grade Board," came into production in 2018.
