Ecopaque

Saving money is good, but saving money and the environment is even better.

Introducing ECOPAQUE, the new high-opacity, earth-friendly alternative to uncoated freesheet. Designed to raise standards while keeping costs down, ECOPAQUE uses 50% less wood fiber than a traditional uncoated freesheet and is manufactured totally chlorine-free. Available in basis weights of 42.5 lb, 45 lb and 50 lb, ECOPAQUE has the opacity of a much heavier basis weight premium opaque offset paper — without the premium cost. So switch to the lighter basis weight ECOPAQUE and save.
