Bridge Opaque®

Bridge Opaque®

An uncoated hybrid paper that contains the optimum blend of bleached chemical and mechanical fiber and is known for its light basis weights and premium performance.

It is a top-of-the line hybrid paper that competes with freesheet papers, pioneering a new category of high-bright, high-performance publishing papers. Available in the industry’s lightest weights, the Bridge line delivers yield savings without compromising aesthetics, printability or runnability. It is the best-performing groundwood containing paper in the market.

Highlights:

  • 80 brightness
  • High freesheet content enhances print quality and press performance
  • Superior opacity to minimize showthrough
  • Excellent surface and strength characteristics
  • Lightweights provide yield advantage
  • Formulated to minimize reversion
  • Wide range of PPI’s for high page count applications

Sustainability:

  • Available with up to 30% post-consumer fiber
  • Mechanical pulping process improves fiber utilization
  • 100% of fiber originates from controlled or certified sources
  • Certified to SFI® fiber sourcing standards, FSC® chain-of-custody certification is order-specific
  • Committed to minimizing carbon footprint through improved energy efficiency and the use of cogeneration
