Description

Kallima® Litholam is a fully bleached, double coated topsheet custom engineered specifically for offset lithography and lamination to single-face corrugated. The lighter basis weights of Kallima® Litholam provide more square footage per given ton. Kallima® Litholam’s exceptionally smooth surface ensures superior printability while its unique construction ensures accurate scoring and die cutting. Its higher brightness provides a greater visual impact and accurate color reproduction. Finally, Kallima® Litholam’s compatibility with both Kallima® Preprint and Kallima® Direct Print ensures a color match when combining Kallima® products.
