With the recent introduction of Impress Thimm Verpackung has launched an innovation in the field of graphic printing paper. This is a 145-gram premium paper with excellent printing characteristics. When measured against coated testliners and coated kraftliners as classic commodity products it stands out in terms of gloss and printing performance. This innovative graphic paper means printing results can once again be significantly improved.

The new paper, which Thimm is offering as of now in its "Highback Papers" range, is characterised by good whiteness and a surface which is smoother than that of traditional substrates in the field of corrugated cardboard raw papers. The result: brilliant gloss and rich colours, plus improved screening thanks to having more detailed printing dots in flexographic pre-printing. "In this way we can achieve offset-style printing results for our ThimmColor packaging but with lower grammages," explains Rokohl. "Also, we see this quality of result as representing an environmentally friendly alternative to using UV coating," he continues. As a virgin-fibre paper Impress is also suitable for direct contact with foodstuffs, and it meets FSC standards.
