trucard ice is a one side coated (C1S), woodfree solid bleached sulphate (SBS) board, with an exceptional, ultra high gloss coated surface. The unique manufacturing process used to make trucard ice ensures it has the superbly smooth glossy surface of a cast coated board while it retains the excellent printability and strength characteristics expected from a conventional SBS board. With its high bulk and superior ink drying speeds trucard ice is ideal for those physically demanding premium card, cover and packaging jobs where a high gloss surface is required but no compromise is allowed in the printing, conversion or final performance.

trucard 0 is a premium quality uncoated woodfree solid bleached sulphate (SBS) board, available in 3 finishes all giving the same outstanding physical, printing and converting performance as the existing trucard 1 and trucard 2 grades. Selected raw materials, combined with a twin-wire manufacturing process, provide boards with outstanding stiffness and bulk.
trucard 0 matt has a natural uncoated surface while trucard 0 felt has a subtle textured effect offering a pleasing tactile finish. Both are exceptionally bright white shades. trucard 0 felt extra is designed for the most demanding print requirements and has a special light coating on both sides to give the optimum balance of looking and feeling like an uncoated but delivering the ink lift of a coated sheet.

trucard recycled offers an even greater environmental choice with the availability of certain core items from stock in recycled versions. The use of only the best recycled pulp ensures that levels of cleanliness and whiteness are competitive with virgin fibre grades while the physical characteristics and print and conversion performance are all you have come to expect from trucard. Not only that, the full trucard recycled range is also FSC certified.
