Acucote stocks dye, pigment, UV, HP, and Laser digital stocks along with over 30 prime label materials. The portfolio includes gloss and matte papers, foils, mail tabs, various board stocks, thermal transfer, and a handful of liners, including lay flat. By choosing these products, converters are supporting responsible management of the world’s forests.  

‘We were honored to pass our Q4 FSC audit and be able to offer this expanded portfolio, said Earl Curran, vice president of business development at Acucote. ‘Over the past year, we have seen growing demands for sustainable material from our customers who in turn need to meet the requirements of their brand owners.’

If a material is not offered in the standard portfolio, Acucote’s application development team will source additional materials certified by the FSC. The company can also help converters attain Chain of Custody (CoC) certification by connecting them with printing alliance groups who lend assistance throughout the certification process.
