UPM Communication Papers
 

Touch the brilliant colours, face the value of print

In the post-pandemic world, we’re seeing readers buying more print subscriptions and spending more
time with print. Readers love the print magazine experience and magazines with high-quality paper feel like luxury items. 

Magazines printed on our high-quality papers ensure excellent reader experience, which is our top priority. Our coated papers with non-glossy finish are appreciated for great printing results, vivid imagery and sustainability. In addition, these papers are high in bulk, which brings you cost advantages.

 
These days everyone’s favourite metric is engagement, and yet there’s nothing more engaging than a well-made magazine.
