Postal Remedy: New, Lighter Papers

Another new catalog paper is BowEco, which Bowater launched in late August. A coated mechanical No. 5 with 20 percent recycled content, BowEco comes in basis weights from 32 lb to 40 lb, Colwell says. It enables catalogers that have been using 40 lb or 38 lb catalog paper to drop to a lighter basis weight to achieve postage savings.
