Primacoat is a wood-free coated thin, lightweight paper with optical and mechanical characteristics equal to those of more traditional heavier coated papers.

benefits

Primacoat is the whitest coated thin paper on the market; its dazzling whiteness and exceptional print results significantly enhance presentation and help ensure that your message is delivered in a strong and effective manner. Both its brightness and the gloss of the inks provide a remarkable and dazzling finish. Its rigidity makes it compatible with the finishing and personalization techniques often used in direct marketing. And its light weight means savings of paper, postage, and the environment.
