Antalis enhances 100% recycled Cocoon range with launch of Cocoon Silk

Print Solutions

Expanding its recycled papers offering, Antalis has enhanced its Cocoon brand with the addition of Cocoon Silk, a 100% recycled two side coated paper that is the perfect complement to Cocoon Offset. A complete and versatile new range, Cocoon Silk is available in weights ranging from 90 to 350 g/m2, and in a variety of formats.

Made from 100% FSC recycled certified post consumer pulp, Cocoon Silk has excellent eco credentials and is awarded four stars in the Antalis Green Star System.

With its high whiteness (121 CIE) and exceptionally high quality semi-matt, satin feel surface, Cocoon Silk produces printed images with outstanding intensity and has a printability comparable to non recycled papers. It is ideal for producing corporate style creative print, including reports, brochures, direct mail, art books, catalogues, luxury magazines, greeting cards, invitations and menus.

While Cocoon Silk is guaranteed for litho printing, it is also suitable for silk screen printing and most digital print systems, and is HP Indigo certified. In addition, it is well suited for a variety of finishing processes such as foil blocking, embossing, laminating and varnishing.

Product manager for papers, Ben Cahill, commented: ‘The addition of Cocoon Silk to the well known Cocoon range means we can offer complementary coated and uncoated papers and boards to printers and brands looking to produce a variety of premium, sustainable print. And it must be said that Cocoon Silk’s performance and quality of print is superb.’
