Utilizing 100% recycled pulp and natural additives like recycled chaff from coffee bean roasting, recycled coffee bean bags and some peat moss dirt; this technical paper was produced to be an authentic laminate version of kraft paper. A mixture of post and pre- consumer waste streams, the Recycled Kraft series achieves FSC 100% / FSC Recycled Credit. This paper technique uses small-batch craft production so that each sheet is unique and natural and will highlight the true additives with fibers and speckles embedded.

Laminate is made in many different grades intended for specific uses. For practical purposes we’ve narrowed this down to two categories; Vertical and General Purpose.

Vertical Grade is ideal for use on low wear surfaces such as cabinet faces and sides, doors, furniture, etc. It is a little thinner than standard grade and thus, a thinner line will be visible at the edges. Vertical Grade laminate is not recommended for countertops or any surface that will likely see a lot of use. Thickness’ can range from .027″ (0.7mm) nominal to .029″ (.7mm) nominal.

General Purpose, is a little thicker and typically is used for higher wear areas like countertops and desktops. This material is less flexible and slightly more difficult to work with but is the standard for making most laminate countertops. Thickness’ can range from .035″ (0.9mm) nominal to .045″ (1.1mm) nominal.
