With the introduction of the new product line, NewPage will be retiring Centura® sheets and web, Productolith® sheets and web, and Sterling® Ultra sheets. Sterling Ultra web products will remain.
NewPage notes that, beyond budget-friendly pricing, the new Sterling Premium offers strong value propositions for all stakeholders in the supply chain. "Designers, marketers, and corporate end users get a brand-building premium paper that delivers worry-free consistency. Printers get a superior substrate to showcase their work combined with the runnability they've come to expect from Sterling. A streamlined offering allows NewPage to stock more deeply, ensuring that merchants, printers, and end users have what they need, when they need it, including press-ready mini skids and quick turn custom cut sheets," the company said.
NewPage will continue to offer matching digital products – Sterling Premium Digital and Sterling Premium Digital for HP Indigo. The new product lines replace the current Sterling® Ultra Digital™ and Sterling® Ultra Digital™ for HP Indigo offering. Both product lines will include a new 120 lb. gloss and dull cover offering.
