Antalis has introduced Cocoon Silk, a new 100% recycled, two-side coated paper designed to complement its established Cocoon Offset range.

Made entirely from FSC recycled-certified post-consumer pulp, Cocoon Silk combines strong environmental credentials with high print quality. The paper has a whiteness level of 121 CIE and features a semi-matt satin finish that delivers sharp, vibrant printed images. It has also been awarded four stars in the Antalis Green Star System.

Available in weights from 90gsm to 350gsm and in a range of formats, Cocoon Silk is suitable for a wide range of applications including reports, brochures, catalogues, luxury magazines, art books, direct mail and greeting cards.

The paper is guaranteed for litho printing and also suitable for silk screen and most digital print systems, including HP Indigo presses. It supports a variety of finishing techniques such as foil blocking, embossing, laminating, and varnishing.

Ben Cahill, product manager for papers at Antalis, said: “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.”
