Our Recycled Flyers and Leaflets are printed on 150gsm 9lives 80 Silk or 250gsm 9lives 80 Silk – the "80" in the name means that 80% of the material is recycled. The remaining 20% is FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) Certified, TCF (totally chlorine free) virgin pulp; which, when blended with the recycled fibres, gives the sheet superb press performance.

The minimum quantity is 250.
