Howard Smith Papers MySize

Not only does Howard Smiths MySize brand consist of a new coated grade, but it also features an environmentally friendly, cost-cutting service. Instead of ordering standard paper sizes, users can specify the exact sheet dimensions that they require. These are then cut from reels to reduce waste and costs.

In addition, users can specify the precise number of sheets they need, meaning that customers are not restricted by pallet or pack size. Howard Smith can also create pallets of optimum height to ensure sheets reach the press as quickly as possible and customised labels are provided, which feature unique job reference codes.

“MySize is a unique offering, which not only benefits the environment by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill, but also helps customers to cut their costs and simplify the production process,” says Dave Cooling, Howard Smith’s marketing and purchasing director.

The service is most beneficial for firms that want to change their sheets sizes by between 5% and 7%.
By logging onto the MySize website, clients can calculate their paper savings using an online Pallet-Ometer. This compares conventional stock standards with individual sheets specifications and works out the percentage saving.

Once this information has been logged, it is then sent to a local regional centre and a quote is calculated.
Orders must weigh more than two tonnes and can be delivered within 72 hours. The MySize range is available in gloss and silk finishes and in 22 weights ranging from 90gsm to 400gsm.
