Antalis has confirmed the release of its brand-new Graphic and Cartonboard swatch. Designed to support commercial printers, carton converters, designers, and specifiers, the swatch presents a comprehensive overview of Antalis’ graphical board portfolio.
Launched in April, the swatch contains 35 sample sheets featuring various weights and finishes. This allows users to explore the tactile qualities, printability, and versatility of each material firsthand. The swatch includes a wide array of graphic and cartonboard types, such as:
- SBS: Invercote® G, Invercote® Creato, Invercote® Duo
- GC1 Folding Boxboard (FBB): Incada® Silk, Ultima GC1
- GC2 FBB: Incada® Exel, Performa™ Light
- Metallised Boards: Invercote® Metalprint

- Coloured Greyboard: Eska® Black
- Specialty Boards: Katz Beer Mat Board, Katz Air Fresh Board
Complementing the swatch is an Easy Reference Guide – a compact, user-friendly booklet containing full product details and technical specifications to aid in quick decision-making and project planning.
To further support sustainable choices, the brochure incorporates the Green Star System™, Antalis’ environmental rating tool. The system attributes each product a rating from zero to five stars based on key environmental criteria, including fibre origin and manufacturing processes. This simplified, transparent system enables anyone to quickly assess the environmental performance of each board. Each product range featured in the swatch includes its relevant Green Star rating, making it easier than ever to align substrate choices with sustainability goals.
Steve Chappell, Graphic and Cartonboard Development Manager, Antalis, said, “This new swatch book is a practical tool for anyone working with print and board materials. It’s designed to inspire creativity while making the selection process more intuitive and informed.”
