Seeing is Believing: Newest Innovation in Luxurious and Sustainable Fine Printing Papers

Bennington, N.H. – Monadnock Paper Mills, Inc., the oldest continuously operating paper mill in the United States, is pleased to announce the immediate availability of swatchbooks for its suite of Astrolite PC 100 papers -- its newest portfolio offering of luxurious and sustainable fine text and cover papers crafted with 100% post-consumer waste (PCW) recycled fiber.

The Astrolite PC 100 swatchbook features technical data, print demonstrations, environmental impact information, and stars the full slate of its three separate PCW product lines: Astrolite PC 100 Smooth, Astrolite PC 100 Digital+, and Astrolite PC 100 Velvet C2S.

“Seeing -- and touching -- is believing,” said Julie Brannen, Director, Sustainability Solutions Fine Printing & Packaging Substrates, Monadnock Paper Mills. “The goal for our Astrolite PC 100 swatchbooks is to unlock the creative potential of graphic designers, creatives, brand owners, marketers, and commercial printers as they experience the material’s brightness, durability, and tactility.”

Like all Monadnock papers, Astrolite PC 100 is FSC® Certified (FSC C018866), manufactured carbon-neutral (VERs) and made with 100% renewable Green-e certified wind-powered electricity (RECs) under a third-party certified ISO 14001 Environmental Management System.

“These new lines are designed to luxuriously support sustainable-minded brands, particularly for high-end retail and corporate marketing communications among a range of desirable end-use applications,” said Brannen.

Ideal applications include annual reports, CSR reports, fashion lookbooks, catalogs, product brochures, newsletters, presentation kits, portfolios, pocket folders, and premium packaging.
