Warren, the UK’s leading independent carton & graphical board and paper stockist, has announced that through its membership of the AIMS Group, it is now the official Lumi stockist for the East and West Midlands, the North East and the South West regions in the UK. 

AIMS is the UK’s largest independent merchant consortium, and its 10 members stock a full range of printing & writing grades and carton & graphical boards across the UK & Ireland.

The widely recognised and hugely respected brands of LumiArt and LumiSilk from StoraEnso are a favoured coated paper range within the UK print market and in addition to our standard stock range we will be offering sheets cut to size from reel stock for delivery to your door or via our warehouse within 3 – 5 working days.

LumiArt is a fabulous wood free, multicoated gloss art printing paper and board, especially developed with designers and printers in mind. This ultra-bright and white product is ideal for printing the most demanding images and guarantees great quality image reproduction. For applications that have limited text but lots of images – LumiArt is the perfect choice. 

LumiSilk is ideal for applications where both images and text need to be of an exceptionally high print quality, such as photo and art books, advertising prints and brochures. If you want clarity of text and images that leap off the page -  LumiSilk is the perfect choice.    

Both products are available for delivery in grammages from 90 to 300 g/m².

Commenting on this latest addition to its product ranges, Warren Managing Director, Kieran Ferguson, stated, “We’re delighted to include Lumi amongst our growing range of high quality products. Lumi is one of Europe’s leading ranges of woodfree coated papers and boards and its introduction only reaffirms the growing confidence suppliers have in AIMS’ ability to deliver a fantastic service to the UK and Irish print industries. AIMS’ members, by focussing on our local markets and holding stocks closer to our customers, can offer a significant service advantage against the National merchants.”

Kieran added, “Although still very early days, we’ve already seen our Lumi sales surpass even our greatest expectations and we look forward to a long and successful relationship with the Lumi brand.”

Produced at StoraEnso’s Oulu mill in Finland, Lumi is EU Ecolabel certified, with its virgin wood fibre sourced from Finland and Brazil. The mills have Chain of Custody according to Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) and The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™) certification schemes.

The Lumi range compliments Warren’s already extensive range of printing and writing products that are available from its Leicester & West Bromwich distribution centres. Well known grades such as Inspira Pre-Print, Target Plus Pre-Print, Trophee and Idem, as well as the full GF Smith range of papers and boards are all available for immediate delivery from Warren.
