Solid Bleached Board

Invercote is a multi-layered product (solid bleached board, SBB), entirely based on fresh fibres. Specific fibre compositions are used for the various layers in the construction to optimise performance. The outer layers are dominated by hardwood fibres to promote smoothness and printability. The middle layer consists of softwood fibres for strength and flexibility.

Product description

Invercote Creato boosts creativity with outstanding aesthetic printing properties on both sides. A patented coating formula provides outstanding lightfastness, giving the end products a longer life. The whiteness level is tailored to ensure the best print contrast and colour reproduction properties required for high-end print production. This surface combined with its exceptional strength and toughness offers unique advantages when designing and producing brochures, covers and cards of various kinds, giving designers ultimate freedom to create with endless possibilities.

The consistency of Invercote Creato ensures predictable and dependable performance, making repeat print runs with the same machine settings and excellent print results possible.
