Spectro C2S will offer a smooth and uniform surface for colour reproduction, details and better ink holdout.
It will also provide optimum convertibility for folding, die-cutting, glueing and other converting applications, as well as brightness and coating formulation for fade resistance.
Sappi North America Packaging Brands director Heather Pelletier said: “We’re pleased to announce our new C2S grade to complement our full line of Spectro paperboard products.
“We’re proud that our innovative legacy in coating technology enables us to deliver a superior surface.

Spectro C2S is suitable for packaging applications in various markets, including luxury beverage, cosmetics. perfumes, pharmaceuticals and direct mail.
Sappi will showcase its full line of paper packaging products during PACK EXPO in Las Vegas, Nevada, US, on September 23-25.
