SMART Papers’ premium cast-coated Kromekote is now fully Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This gives corporations and graphics professionals immediate access to the most luxurious and environmentally responsible printing and packaging in the world. Kromekote is the first triple cast-coated brand to achieve this kind of certification.

This achievement is an important advance for SMART Papers and reinforces their commitment to supplying the widest range of FSC premium coated and uncoated printing and packaging papers in North America. SMART Papers is North America’s largest independent manufacturer and marketer of premium coated and uncoated printing papers. They are currently building a new energy facility at its manufacturing center. It will be fossil fuel free by late 2009, enabling all of the company’s papers to be fully carbon neutral.

This will give customers confidence that they are dealing with the most environmentally responsible printing papers available from any US manufacturer. The ultra-glossy Kromekote is widely regarded by printers and designers as the “gold standard” in printing papers. The brand now sets a new “green standard” for premium environmentally preferable coated papers.
