Simili (woodfree) paper
Simili (woodfree) paper is a light, uncoated text paper. Ink sinks into it rather than sitting on the surface, so type stays crisp and photographs print flatter. It suits letterheads, booklet text pages, flyers and voucher books, and work that is read rather than displayed.
It is quoted in three weights: 80, 100 and 120 gsm. Sizes run from A5 to A3 for flyers, with A4 letterheads, A4 and A5 booklets and voucher books. Booklets can have a self cover or a card cover. The weight is confirmed on the quote. It is quoted on the Booklets, Flyers, Stationery and Tickets pages.
