Notes are personal

The Holmen NOTE range of products gives you every possibility to attract and satisfy your customers. With the right shade, whiteness, surface and feel of the paper. Make notebooks with hard or soft cover; creative or subtle design – or something in between. Make them with lines, dots, grids or blank pages; stitched, spiral or perfect binding. The options are endless.

 

Holmen NOTE has a clean sheet and pleasant feel. This new notebook favourite is made from fresh wood fibre from sustainably managed forests. It's part of our clear and sustainable development towards the future. The paper is available with all the relevant chain-of-custody certifications. It's 100 percent traceable back to its origin, sustainably managed Swedish forests.

 

TECHNICAL DATA SHEET

Connecting the dots

Everything we do and everything we stand for is part of a bigger picture. A picture you will gain from. We offer you challenging innovations and customised solutions. Gain from the strength of great knowledge, sustainable forests and a solid business group. 

Don't be square 

What you see isn’t always what you get. It’s more like, what you want is what you get. We offer flexible, innovative and customised solutions that give you unlimited opportunities to meet your customers’ needs and requirements. 

We utilize the unique properties of the fresh fibre. We make paper that has a positive impact on your business. The fresh fibre makes the paper more voluminous, with higher bulk. Thereby the paper weighs less while remaining its thickness. You can buy fewer tonnes and still get the same notepage surface. Or buy the same amount of paper as before and add more pages. We would love to do the math with you.

 

Notebook paper producer

At Holmen Paper, we are producing high-quality paper from sustainably managed Swedish forests in a TMP process. The result is an excellent alternative to uncoated wood-free papers, traditional bond papers and fine papers that are based mainly on chemical pulps.

Holmen NOTE is produced with the even quality that can be expected from a fine paper, and a possibility to choose the surface smoothness or roughness depending on the need. It ranges from 60 ml/min Bendtsen for Holmen NOTE Smooth, up to 320 ml/min Bendtsen for Holmen NOTE Cream 2.0 cm3/g bulk in a caliper of 140 µm.

We have developed our products in close collaboration with paper users, publishers and printing companies. All our products are traceable, sustainable and recyclable. One of the factors behind our success is the fresh fibre, which brings unique advantages. It allows us to manufacture paper with characteristics that our customers could not find in the traditional paper market.
