Holmen VIEW vs. LWC recycled
LWC stands for light-weight coated papers.
LWC recycled papers usually have a bulk of 0.9 cm3/g
Holmen VIEW has a bulk of 1.1 cm3/g
If we compare a 60 g/m2 LWC recycled to Holmen VIEW and want to find a grammage with the same thickness, we get: 60 x 0.9 / 1.1 = 49 g/m2
The closest grammage in the VIEW range is 50 g/m2. If we then divide the grammages to see the difference, we get: 50/60 = 0.83
This means that you save 17% in weight!
That is 17% less paper and your product will still be as thick as before.
Holmen VIEW Matt vs. LWC
LWC stands for light-weight coated papers.
The LWC paper in this example has a bulk of 1.3 cm3/g
Holmen VIEW Matt has a bulk of 1.4 cm3/g
If we compare a 60 g/m2 LWC to Holmen VIEW and want to find a grammage with the same thickness, we get: 60 x 1.3 / 1.4 = 56 g/m2
The closest grammage in the VIEW Matt range is 57 g/m2. If we then divide the grammages to see the difference, we get: 57/60 = 0.95
You save 5% by choosing VIEW Matt. Also, just like in the previous example, your product will be just as thick as it would be if printed on the LWC. It just weighs less.
