Availability of Kinmari FSC matt art paper
Many clients have been asking about the availability of Kinmari FSC matt art paper following the Japanese tsunami earlier this year. We are pleased to confirm that the manufacturing is almost back to normal and the mill is exporting for the Hong Kong market. The lead time is as before, approx. 3 months and the closing date for paper indent is 15th of the month. The minimum tonnage is a full container which is about 18 metric tons. Unfortunately Kinmari is not generally available on the local market and so it is not an option for smaller projects (sorry!) – this also means we are unable to ‘top up’ paper orders or replenish smaller quantities. Please also note that it is slightly more expensive than other matt art papers; for example it is 3-5% more expensive than Chinese Gold East matt art which has PEFC certification.
* Asia Pacific uses the finest grades of coated papers and binder boards. We have stock available in Hong Kong and also order direct from paper mills for more unusual trim sizes and high-quantity print runs. All of the text paper that Asia Pacific uses is acid-free and ph neutral. Recycled, FSC and PEFC certified papers are also available but are more expensive and minimum quantities may apply.
