In the light of further, sustained increases in raw materials, energy and transport costs, Sappi Fine Paper Europe has reviewed current margins for its Graphic Woodfree papers and will raise its prices where they have become unsustainable.

The wealth of packaging possibilities offered by Fusion, Sappi’s most recent portfolio addition, will be highlighted at drupa 2012. Designed for lamination to corrugated board, the premium-quality, high bright, white liner, delivers greater shelf shout helping brands ensure their products stand out from the competition.

Printers from the Sappi Trading region have again achieved outstanding results in 2012 Sappi Trading Printers of the Year awards. They won ten out of eleven gold awards with additional twenty silver and twenty-nine bronze awards! This means that Sappi Trading stands a very good chance of once again bringing home Elephant-trophies from the Sappi International Printers of the Year awards.

Sappi Fine Paper Europe is delighted to announce its position as Education Partner for EcoPrint 2012 (Berlin, 26 – 27 September 2012), the world’s first exhibition and event 100% focused on sustainable print business.

The “Olympics of Printing” are over, medals have been distributed and post-analysis is fully underway. Sappi Fine Paper Europe is energised and optimistic as a result of its drupa 2012 experience. Our positioning as an innovative company with product examples such as Jaz, the only coated inkjet digital paper, and our emphasis on adding value through our People behind Paper concept hit the mark.
