Elliott Baxter bags FSC badge for Navigator range

Independent paper merchant Elliott Baxter's (EBB) white laser pre-print grade Navigator has become FSC-certified.

Available in 80 to 120gsm grades, from A4 to B1, it is produced by Portugal-based Soporcel Portucel and uses eucalyptus pulp.

Laser papers can be printed on litho presses and are then put through an office laser for letterheads. They are made with lower moisture content to inhibit it curling under the heat of the laser.

Sales and marketing director Chris Sandwell said: "EBB is delighted that this market leading brand now has the FSC certification as an additional benefit.

"Navigator has become an excellent product within our portfolio since its launch in January 2008."

Soporcel Portucel is also sponsoring the Euro 2008 Football championship. As part of the sponsorship it is running an advertising campaign on Navigator throughout Europe, giving away 1,000 TomTom navigation systems over the next four months.

EBB will be getting a supply of TomToms to give away to 10 customers and some of its internal sales staff.
