Great packaging begins with a decision, and technical specifications can tell you a lot about a premium paperboard.
But they cannot tell you how embossing feels.
How brilliantly foil applications shine.
Or how a perfectly smooth surface elevates the perception of a luxury brand.
The Algro paperboard swatchbook was engineered to make that decision simple, confident and inspiring. It transforms material selection into a tactile, visual and evidence-based experience.
Featuring Sappi’s premium Algro Design and Algro Design Duo brands, this high-quality showcase tool bridges the gap between technical specifications and emotional brand impact. It serves as an all-in-one resource where technical precision meets visual and haptic brilliance.
