The Joy of Being Tree-Free

CHICAGO--As the demand for environmental integrity grows, GPA has introduced its eco-friendly substrate: Ultra Green. Unlike traditional paper, Ultra Green is manufactured without the use of trees, water or toxic agents including bleaching chemicals.

Different from pulp papers, it has no grain resulting in a smooth surface that promotes high color saturation and resolution. The substrate combines the printability and converting characteristics of paper with the durability of plastic. Ultra Green is also resistant to scuffing, water, grease and oily substances, making it suited for outdoor applications. It is also resistant to UV rays, therefore, it will not yellow or become brittle in the sun.
