Arjowiggins has targeted 5,000 UK design and print businesses with a campaign to promote its Satimat Green and Maine gloss, Chromomat and Satimat (MCS) products.

The campaign includes a limited edition Satimat Green A3 brochure and A4 brochure with samples and a second brochure produced by merchant Elliott Baxter (EBB).

Satimat Green is a two-sided, coated woodfree paper and board grade that contains 50% recycled fibres and 50% FSC-certified virgin fibre. MCS is available in a range of weights and is distributed by EBB and PaperCo.

Earlier this week, Arjowiggins announced it will increase the price of its Idem reels and sheets during the fourth quarter of the year.

Customers are currently being informed about the worldwide increase for the carbonless products, which will affect product groups and tints, depending on their raw materials.

In a statement, Arjowiggins said: "In the last few years, even in an environment with significant annual inflation and increase in several items of raw material, prices of carbonless paper products increased at a lower pace than costs.

"We are working to control our costs through production, supply efficiencies and processes."

The company said there had been "considerable adjustments" to the cost of raw materials, which for some months it had been unable to absorb.
