Fetch Blog

A lot of work goes into our paper. But even more goes onto it. 

Paper's the blank canvas, the starting point. It's the creativity of the people with whom we work that brings it to life. The Fetch Blog is a little snap shot of that work. Here we show you our latest paper samplers, cool work our clients have done, KWD news including environmental updates, wild paper tales and any up and coming paper, design and print events. We'll be uploading new stuff every week so send us your best work.

FSC has introduced a new label
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) have recently undergone some changes to their labelling system. They have simplified the language and created a new trademark logo. Click through our images above to see the new look graphics.

Feedback from FSC members was the old label system had become too confusing and the detailed text was found un-meaningful to customers. The mixed sources label was an example of this and will now be listed only as “Mix” with the simple statement “from responsible sources”. A change we believe will make it easier for your customers to understand the wood comes from a managed forest resource. The criteria for meeting the FSC standard is still the same, only the artwork has changed. For a full explanation of the different criteria please visit www.fscaustralia.org.au

The new logos are effective now however FSC are operating a transition period up until January 2011. Any re-prints or new jobs after this time will need to showcase the new labels. Pre-existing material does not need to be re-printed.

Approval for logo usage will remain the same. Printers who are FSC certified will still need to submit final artwork to the accrediting body for approval. However the number appearing in the logo will now be a licence code instead of the CoC number. The licence code still tracks the job from logo back to printer but is shorter and neater for display on product. The full Chain of Custody Certificate (CoC) number will still be required on paperwork such as invoices.

To help you understand this change we have included some FSC questions and answers in the environmental section of our website. Should we not address your specific query please feel free to submit one via the site.  Further information about FSC can be obtained from www.fscaustralia.org.au

Doggett's make the cut with new sheeter

We've put in a new sheeter!

K.W.Doggett Fine Paper Melbourne has successfully installed Australia's first SHM 1650 DR (dual rotary) sheeter from Pemco, a company of the Körber PaperLink Group (KPL). What this means for our customers is it will help to improve the quality, throughput and converting costs of all cut-sheet products.

With the high speeds and close tolerances of modern printing equipment, the operator's job is now made easier. Changeover times are minimal and with clean, highly precise output on press-ready pellets, this results in our customers enjoying reduced press downtime and minimised operational disruption.

Overall, the new machine’s versatility will help Doggett's expand service to other folio sheet users. We can now respond more quickly to market demands and the high product quality supports ongoing customer satisfaction.
