Maine Gloss Green

Maine Gloss Green is part of our new generation of premium, wood-free, coated papers that use a high percentage of recovered fibres. It’s been engineered to offer a fast drying time, very good bulk, and excellent opacity for heavy ink loads. Its exceptionally smooth surface contributes excellent runnability, printability and whiteness (CIE 124).

Made from 75% recycled pulp and 25% FSC® virgin fibre, Maine Gloss Green makes an environmental statement by using waste that may otherwise be sent to landfill, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and consuming less water, energy and wood in its production.

Suitable Applications

Maine Gloss Green is ideal for:

Report and accounts, glossy brochures, glossy leaflets, direct mail, books (gloss finish), catalogues, luxury gloss magazines, greeting cards, invitations, menus, business cards and posters (depending on required opacity).
