Leipa 100% Recycled White-Top Linerboard

With 175 years of sustainable paper and packaging expertise, Leipa is the European market leader in recycled white top linerboard. Leipa converts more than 1.5 million tons of waste paper back into high-quality paper and packaging solutions every year. Specializing in white-top test liner, Leipa is a one-stop shop for coated and uncoated substrates in a wide range of grammages.

Sharp International has been Leipa’s North American agent and partner for over 20 years. With warehouses at most major port cities, Sharp creates customized inventory programs for just-in-time deliveries. With a weekly email detailing available stock, incoming stock’s ETAs, and the dates of Leipa’s next production runs, Sharp makes it easy for customers to view their inventory at a glance and streamline their ordering.

Leipa’s bestselling grades are Classic and Lux:

As an uncoated white-top test liner, LEIPA Classic white is our recommendation for all applications in the corrugated board segment: consistent run-ability offers perfect processing results. Optimum printing results and high color brilliance experiences are achieved in flexoprint in both preprint and post print. As an uncoated corrugated base paper, LEIPA Classic white is particularly environmentally friendly and manufactured according to LEIPA’s highest standards of quality and sustainability on one of the world’s most modern paper machines.

Our white-coated liner LEIPA Lux plus sets real standards in the field of double-coated corrugated base papers: Suitable for digital and offset printing, optimized for flexo printing, it offers a perfect surface to show off not only information but above all colors, images, and details to their best advantage. It goes without saying that our LEIPA Lux plus also meets the highest environmental standards. It is the reason that LEIPA Lux plus is the world’s most widely used white top test liner.

Leipa and Sharp International are FSC- and PEFC-certified to support our customers’ sustainability programs.
