Sappi, one of the world’s leading specialty paper manufacturers, will showcase its extensive portfolio of coated and uncoated dye sublimation papers, containerboard and silicone-based papers at the FESPA Global Print Expo 2022 to be held in Berlin from May 31 to June 3. Visitors to Sappi’s stand 4.2-D20 at Europe’s most significant trade fair for screen and digital printing, large-format printing and textile printing will be able to experience the brand’s comprehensive portfolio of sublimation papers on-site and learn about its plans to support further market growth. They also have the opportunity to see the benchmark products for corrugated board production and to explore the full range of silicone-based papers.
Sappi’s theme for this year’s FESPA Global Print Expo is “Seed. Thrive. Earn.” The company, seeing the rapidly growing importance of sublimation papers for digital transfer printing, recently announced that it will be investing a sum in the low double-digit million euros over the next two years to expand the ‘Center of Excellence’ for specialty papers at its Carmignano facility in northern Italy. The investment, aimed at increasing production capacity to support the further growth of the dye sublimation paper business, is expected to shorten delivery times while further improving the company’s first-class service.
