We enjoyed another great update at a recent BJ Ball Paper Circle gathering in Tauranga where Rachel Foye, Business Development Manager - Corporate, presented us with a number of exciting developments and new technologies in the world of paper and printing.
Thanks for coming along to Paper Circle in Tauranga on Friday. Evajean and I hope it was a pleasant experience and you went away with some inspiration for future designs and paper choices.

Here is a quick summary of some of the cool ideas coming up:
Digituff – This is a range of recyclable (PET#1) synthetic
stocks suitable for dry toner machines (SRA3), great for short runs. Eliminates
the need for laminating (which is bound for landfill). There is a range of
thicknesses in white plus a frosted and a clear. Great for wobblers, necktags
and chilled/wet environments.
Metaliks – This is a 330gsm board with either a silver, gold
or bronze reflective solid foil on one side, suitable for dry toner machines
(SRA3). Ideal for postcards, luxury product packaging, eye catching neck tags.
Maine – A white coated stock with a 60% recycled content
(FSC certified), suitable for offset/HP Indigo & dry toner. Ideal for
flyers, brochures etc where you want to highlight a recycled content in your
marketing material.
Multiloft – This is a multi-layer product suitable for
offset/HP Indigo & dry toner, that can be layered to create a 634gsm card
(or thicker, you choose). Images below show the colour range. Great for
business cards.
Knight – This is a surprisingly affordable, specialty,
uncoated range in smooth, vellum, linen and hammer with a range of weights.
Suitable for offset and dry toner. Great for brochures, stationery,
invitations, booklets.
Sovereign – This is an Indigo suitable stock similar to Knight Smooth which also goes up to a 400gsm.
