Product overview

This time it's EPIC

Holmen EPIC is a bright, smooth paper with high opacity that will carry your stories with vivid, evocative images. This wood-containing paper can replace the wood-free alternatives and works perfectly for magazines and direct mail. Thanks to the strength and elasticity of the fresh fibres, we can make the paper more voluminous and you can choose a lighter grammage than you may be used to.
