The properties of recycled paper and recycled board

Our recycled paper and recycled board is made of 100 percent used paper, protecting valuable resources such as trees and water. Due to their positive properties, recycled paper and recycled board are certified with the "Blue Angel" eco-label. This label is awarded to products that have been manufactured in a resource-saving manner from sustainable raw materials and which are easy to recycle. 
Recycled paper has excellent opacity and increased paper volume, meaning the ratio of paper thickness and paper weight. At a sheet thickness of 0.39 mm and a paper weight of 300 gsm, the volume of recycled paper is 1.3 times higher.


Offset paper

Material description of recycled board and recycled paper

Recycled paper and recycled board have good printing properties. Designs stand out bright and clear in vivid colours with a dull appearance. The highly opaque paper prevents show-through of images, allowing both front and back to be printed. The ageing-resistant recycled material has a superior sturdy feel. 

Offset paper

"Recycled paper is uncoated just like the offset type, and it is very large-pored and slightly coarse to the touch. For this reason, it literally takes in the ink during printing and produces saturated colours." 

Stefan Hagen – Head of Offset Printing at Onlineprinters
