Mohawk Grows Portfolio of Packaging Paper / Folding Board with TWELVE Resource

 

Mohawk (Cohoes, N.Y.), a privately-owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes, and specialty substrates for commercial and digital printing is unveiling a new resource called TWELVE. The new product is designed to showcase a versatile and growing collection of expertly engineered packaging papers and folding boards.

The TWELVE kit highlights samples of Mohawk’s tactile papers for premium packaging. The outside container for the TWELVE kit is a memorable marriage of two very different papers: Curious Collection Skin Pink with its signature smooth surface and super-saturated color, laminated to Curious Collection Particles Snow - featuring subtle, snow-like flecks and 100% post consumer waste. Pasting of these two sheets alone suggests great possibilities, Mohawk stated. The Curious Collection offers to creating a memorable and high-impact packaging design.

"Whether a project calls for sustainable materials, rich color, or beautiful textures, Mohawk has assembled a versatile portfolio of papers available worldwide which bring sophisticated visual appeal and superior performance to a brand’s most demanding packaging product," said Chris Harrold, VP and Creative Director, Mohawk.

The TWELVE packaging kit contains a dozen die cut boxes featuring a selection of tactile packaging papers. Shimmering metallics, distinctive textures, and exquisite colors showcase the understated elegance of the Mohawk, Arjowiggins, and Curious Collection packaging paper lines:
