FutureMark Introduces Enhanced C1S Future Label

FutureMark Paper Group, Westport, Conn., USA, a producer of recycled printing papers, this week announced several enhancements to Future Label, the industry’s only coated one side (C1S) label product with high-recycled content (>85%). The enhancements provide an environmentally-friendly C1S label for consumer packaged goods.

Fueled by innovations in FutureMark’s deinking process, Future Label now features a paper brightness rating of 88 and a blue-white shade. In addition, the recycled content in Future Label has been increased from 80% to 85%, and a modified coating recipe has significantly enhanced the C1S paper’s overall print performance. As a result, Future Label offers brand owners, retailers, and label converters a reliable, bright-white sheet with clean styling for superior print quality.

"Continuous innovation at our recycled mills has enabled us to take our Future Label product to the next level in both quality and recycled content," said Matt Nightingale, VP, business development, FutureMark Paper Co. "We’re pleased to be able to offer this exceptional sustainable solution to leading converters and retailers who are committed to greening their businesses."

Fort Dearborn Co., a supplier of high-impact decorative labels for the beverage, confectionery, food, household products, nutraceutical, paint/coatings, personal care, and spirits markets, has partnered with FutureMark to bring Future Label to its customers. "Future Label is the perfect fit for our green-minded customers who want an excellent sustainable packaging solution," Tim Nicholson, SVP of marketing and technical services, said.

Future Label is immediately available in 55 lb. and 60 lb. basis weights. More information is available online.
