The country’s biggest independent paper merchant KW Doggett has launched Xplore, a new triple coated A2 sheet. Dogget says it has an excellent print result, is economically priced, and comes with strong environmental credentials.
With more companies introducing triple bottom line reporting (economic, social and environmental) it has become common practice for customers to understand the paper stocks they are using within their organisations. According to Doggett today's customers are demanding paper stocks that are environmentally sound and provide great press performance at an economical price, and it says Xplore is the solution.
Xplore is a certified FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) mixed sources paper derived from well managed forests. It is elemental chlorine free and is accredited with the ISO:14001 Environmental Management System. Doggett says Xplore is a blue-white smooth sheet with exceptional stiffness, bulk and opacity. It says the triple coating ensures ink lift, colour fidelity and high registering accuracy. Xplore also boasts excellent runnability and quick drying, making it a choice for long run communications.
Simon Doggett, managing director of KW Dogget says, "KW Doggett Fine Paper became actively involved with the FSC and achieved our Chain of Custody (COC) in August 2006, as we were keen to strengthen our support of responsible forestry practices worldwide. Since August we have achieved COC on seven of our existing paper grades, however we also realised that after speaking to our customers their was an opportunity to provide an A2 Coated with FSC accreditations in the market. As such we sourced Xplore from Gold East Paper, one of the world's largest eco-friendly paper mills offering ISO 14001 environmental management system. By importing Xplore from China we can offer an FSC coated with improved lead times at an affordable price."
Xplore is available in a full range of grammages including text and boards weights in both gloss and matt finishes. Doggett's has sample packs containing both environmental information and live printed samples.
