Arena Smooth & Rough….The NEW Conqueror?
We are currently loading our new ARENA smooth & rough to the site.
With some great shades and differing textures, anyone who wanted CONQUEROR paper & board now has a tremendous alternative.
Let’s be honest, WATERMARKED PAPER has long gone. It simply became an expensive thing of the past, so ARENA fills the gap perfectly after the CONQUEROR mill went into administration recently. Probably down to no-one really needing watermarks at those prices anymore?
We will be offering FREE SWATCHES when the range is loaded.
We will hopefully be doing matching envelopes too.

Giroform sheets to be withdrawn from UK market?
The Mitsubishi mill who manufacture Giroform carbonless are to announce they will no longer manufacture Giroform sheets.
This in reality leaves you a choice between Eurocalco Digital and Reacto.
In a shrinking market there was just not enough volume for three grades.
We will keep you updated.
Team Calco.

WHAT IS THE LATEST TREND WE ARE SEEING FOR PAPER?
Shiny GLOSS paper seems to have been 80% replaced by MATT & SILK grades.
We have been obsessed by the smoothness of UNCOATED grades for digital printing for the last few years but now there seems to be a trend for ‘NOT QUITE SO SMOOTH’.
Our sales on grades such as SOPORSET, HORIZON & INASET are all steadily increasing as customers seemingly want a bit more BULK to their papers.
Vision Colour Digital has been discontinued and will now be replaced with DCP which we will now be adding for those who still want a smoothness to rival Mondi Colorcopy.
Maybe it’s time to offer your customers a bit more choice?
Why not ask us for a swatch or two when placing your next order?

CONQUEROR
With the Conqueror producing mill now closing the search is one for new grades.
We will shortly be announcing ARENA smooth & rough as a new range to help in this area.
We do have some stocks of Conqueror left and it will eventually be produced at a different mill in a much reduced range.
Calco says: ARENA from FEDRIGONI is the future!
New Packaging for 2023
Early in 2023 Calco will launch our new packaging boxes.
Young Madison (8yrs) has been busy measuring up and choosing the products we will use.
Our aim is to now provide extra protection against the horrors that can ‘sometimes’ happen when shipping by DPD.
We are manufacturing a sturdy inner box ‘pizza style’, that we hope people will re-use as many times as they can and keep for future storage of papers.
These will now go inside an outer sleeve for 4 way protection.
Spread Your Payments
We are delighted to add Paypal Pay in 3 to our checkout section.
This will allow you to do exactly what it says! Simply choose pay later in your PayPal options.
Every little helps in these challenging times.

Price increases
As energy prices soar then the knock on effect to our supplying mills means yet more increases are happening now and will happen in the near future too.
It’s a very challenging time with increases coming pretty much bi-monthly over the past year.
1st October sees between 10%-15% increases with several other areas such as packaging and cartoon boards going up again in November by 10%-15%
Will it settle? Yes, it always does but it won’t be until Spring 2023 is our ‘gut feeling’.
