UPM reaches phase II of Sappi venture
Material manufacturers, UPM and Sappi, have reached the next stage of their Joint Venture which was first announced in December last year
EBB has announced that it will be stocking Lecta’s Adestor self-adhesive sheets, making the range available for next-day delivery nationwide

UK materials supplier, Elliott Baxter & Co (EBB), has announced that it is now stocking the Adestor of range self-adhesive sheets from European paper manufacturer, Lecta.
The Adestor range includes both split-back and solid back-face materials, designed to offer converters and printers flexibility across a broad spectrum of labelling applications.
With a variety of adhesive specifications available, the product is suitable for multiple end uses ranging from standard identification labels to promotional and retail sticker production.
Adestor has been formulated to support consistent and strong printing results, developed specifically for print operations producing labels and stickers at scale.
Martin McPhee, director of commercial print at EBB, says: “We recognise how essential reliable self-adhesive supply is to our customers. By bringing Adestor into our stock portfolio, we’re ensuring continuity for existing users while making the range easily accessible to new customers.”
Adestor self-adhesive sheets are now available from EBB branches across the UK. Stocks of Adestor will be held in EBB’s UK warehouses and available for next-day delivery nationwide, ensuring ongoing availability within the UK market.
EBB also recently collaborated with Art and Design students from Farnborough College of Technology (FCOT) on a project showcasing the versatility of paper materials, ahead of celebrations for Love Paper Week which took place from February 2nd to 6th.
EBB challenged students to treat paper as “a material in its own right” – asking them to fold it, cut it, layer it, and transform it into interesting and functional designs.
The winning entry was a ‘paper dress’ by first-year Fashion and Textiles student, Ava Harrison, which included a corset with each section seamed, a laced-back fastening, and a layered paper skirt.
