“With maximum expression and minimal footprint”, the range consists of 48 unique, trending shades specially developed for luxury packaging applications.

As the exclusive UK stockist for the range, EBB is immediately stocking 40 colours plus a Design White, with the option to order the remaining eight shades from mill stock.

The range is available from 80-350gsm in a variety of sizes. There is also the option to have stock embossed with one of 18 different textures.

Lessebo Colours has been manufactured by Lessebo Paper at its mill that is located in a densely forested area of Småland, Sweden.

Timber is harvested from the same forest and water is used from the same lake that the company has been using since 1693. All production site energy is solely from biomass fuel and renewable excess energy supplies district heating to local homes.

Lessebo is also said to have one of the lowest CO2 emissions in the paper industry at 25kg of CO2 per tonne of paper.

Dave Tennent, sales director for EBB Paper, said: “EBB are delighted to be the exclusive UK stockist for this exciting new product from Lessebo Paper.

“The mill are synonymous with high quality papers and have a really strong sustainability message and we’re really pleased to be working with them to bring this impressive product into the market.

“We feel the colour palette will appeal to the design sector and have selected a range of colours available in text and cover weights to give a really broad choice direct from EBB stock.”
