Antalis adds Ultima GC1 to its paperboard portfolio

This sustainable paperboard is coated on both sides, with a double coating on the top side and a single coating on the reverse. Ultima GC1 is made with a high percentage of SBS pulp, which offers numerous benefits such as high stiffness and a smooth top surface that is ideal for printing and finishing.

Antalis is the merchant stockist in UK and Ireland through a new collaboration with producers JK Paper and distributors PG Paper. Antalis’ offering includes next-day delivery for bulk or packet-wrapped Ultima GC1 in popular weights and sizes.

The product offers superb runnability and is suitable for litho and high-speed printing machines with multicolour printing. Ultima GC1 is FSC® certified, ensuring that it is made from pulp from sustainably managed forests. The paperboard is produced at a mill that pays great attention to environmental concerns and participates in an Agro/Social Farm Forestry Programme. Through this initiative, special varieties of trees are grown and harvested, providing a livelihood for farmers and helping local communities.

Ultima GC1 offers excellent quality and performance at competitive prices, making it an ideal choice for a wide variety of applications such as premium packaging of personal care products and pharmaceuticals, greeting cards, book covers, tags and much more. The material delivers impressive results for various print and finishing processes, including digital print and cold foiling. Ultima GC1 is a reliable paperboard that can enhance a product's presentation while helping towards sustainable development goals.
