Arctic Paper unveils new swatches for Munken Rough Design Range

Arctic Paper has launched three swatches for its Munken Rough Design Range, Munken Polar Rough, Munken Lynx Rough and Munken Pure Rough.

The grades are available FSC or PEFC certified and provide "exceptionally high-quality, four-colour printing", according to the Polish paper manufacturer.

It said the range, which comes in in three shades – crisp white, natural white and cream – has a natural and bulky paper feel.

The swatches contain technical specifications for each product along with full FSC and PEFC certification across the entire Munken Design range, which is available exclusively from the Robert Horne Group.

Garry Colyer, managing director for Arctic Paper UK, said: "Research has indicated that the current trend is for rougher paper surfaces which are becoming progressively more popular with designers, creative printers and publishers."

He added that bulkier papers are also growing in demand as they have the thickness and feeling that coated papers lack.

"They give a totally different experience and are easier to get that 'fibre feeling' without printing problems," he said.
