High White And Bright Board For Graphics And Packs

Edited by the Printingtalk editorial team May 3, 2007

Tullis Russell has further expanded its Trucard portfolio with the introduction of Trucard 1 matt.

Trucard 1 matt is a solid bleached sulphate (SBS) board, fully coated on one side making it suitable for all graphical and packaging applications, said the company.

It is claimed to have high levels of whiteness and brightness and combines a smooth matt coated surface with bulk and stiffness, providing users with a board that reproduces the most demanding print graphics faithfully and consistently.

Tullis Russell plans a number of additions to the Trucard range this year and Trucard 1 matt is the first of them to be launched.

The Trucard product range, which is FSC accredited and fully recyclable, now offers the widest choice of coated SBS board available in the market, claimed the company.

Trucard 1 matt is made from 100 per cent elemental chlorine free pulps sourced only from sustainable managed forests.

Designed for a spectrum of graphical print applications, packaging products, printing and conversion processes, specifiers can choose from a number of options, said Tullis Russell.

The board is also available as Trucard 2 matt, a coated two side board with the same surface gloss as Trucard 1 matt, as well as Trucard 1 gloss, a coated one side board, together with Trucard 2 gloss, a coated two side board, both with glossy coated surfaces.
