May 8, 2025 (press release) –
Lecta has extended its range of uncoated paper with Coral Book Natural 1.5, a high bulk paper specially designed for publishers and printers seeking excellence and distinction. Made from natural, renewable raw materials, the new paper is completely recyclable and biodegradable, in line with the industry's growing demands for products that promote sustainability and protect the environment.
With a natural shade and exceptional print quality, Coral Book Natural 1.5 is ideal for black-and-white text and images, as well as CMYK projects. Available in 70, 80 and 90 g/m² and in sheet and reel formats, it delivers optimal performance for multiple printing techniques, such as offset, flexography, dry toner, laser, and HP Indigo digital systems.
Thanks to its 1.5 bulk value, it offers body and presence without increasing the weight of the end product, which means a competitive advantage for literary products. Its versatility makes it the ideal option for novels, paperbacks, literary editions and other publications that seek an elegant, natural finish. In an increasingly demanding market, the choice of paper has a direct impact on the perception of quality and the positioning of each publication.
This latest launch reinforces Lecta's commitment to the publishing world by extending its Coral Book family, which includes references such as Coral Book Natural 1.2, Ivory 1.2, Ivory 1.5, Ivory 1.65, and White 1.2. Adapting to the specific needs of publishers, these uncoated papers offer solutions in different bulks and shades.
In addition, the manufacturing process for the entire Coral Book range conforms to strict international standards, such as ISO 14001 and EMAS for environmental management, ISO 50001 for energy efficiency, ISO 9001 for quality, ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, and FSSC 22000 for food safety. PEFC and FSC® C011032 certifications for the chain of custody of forest-based materials are also available on request.
As a global supplier for the publishing and printing industries, Lecta reaffirms its commitment to innovation with the development of new coated and uncoated papers that are both more sustainable and more efficient.
