Crafted from organic jute and printed with safe soy-based inks, these 36-inch panels offer a practical, eco-friendly solution for aerial surveys in any environment—especially remote locations where retrieving traditional plastic panels isn’t practical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis new design has a larger white stripe which is 6 inches wide and will more clearly show up in aerial imagery that has a 0.25 ft GSD.   Standard recommendations on the width of the legs for aerial targets from ASPRS is to have the width of the panel leg twice the imagery GSD for clear location of the aerial target.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial and print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Made from natural jute (an organic fabric derived from the bark of the jute plant), with images printed using environmentally friendly soy-based inks.

The jute Eco Panel blends practical mapping performance with a clear commitment to sustainability, enabling you to conduct high-quality surveys while minimizing ecological footprint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhy choose these panels over traditional options? They replace or reduce reliance on non-biodegradable plastics, lower long-term disposal concerns, and align with environmentally conscious workflows without compromising mapping accuracy. The combination of a natural fiber canvas, soy-ink imaging, and a clearly defined 1”=50’ mapping scale makes these panels a thoughtful, purpose-built choice for responsible fieldwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePractical tips for use: when deploying in remote sites, align your imagery using the 4-inch white stripe to ensure consistent orientation, and plan for the panels’ natural degradation timeline in your project schedule. For repeated field campaigns, consider how the temporary nature of these panels might influence site re-visits and data continuity, and pair with other sustainable surveying tools to maintain a green, efficient workflow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\na {\n    text-decoration: none;\n    color: #464feb;\n}\ntr th, tr td {\n    border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;\n}\ntr th {\n    background-color: #f5f5f5;\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e• Ink: Soy‑based, non‑toxic\u003cbr\u003e• Lifespan: Biodegrades in ~2–4 months\u003cbr\u003e• Best for: Drone mapping, LiDAR, wet pavement, rural areas, remote areas\u003cbr\u003e• Retrieval required: No\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Surveying Guru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54014852759870,"sku":"PNL-JT-10-B","price":179.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0771\/6821\/4334\/files\/IMG_4157.jpg?v=1785717170","url":"https:\/\/www.surveying-guru.com\/products\/eco-panel-jute-aerial-panels-36-inch-10-pack-new-design-natural-biodegradable-eco-friendly-aerial-target-copy","provider":"Surveying Guru by Sonoma Innovations, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
