Lecta presents GardaMatt Ice, a two-side coated woodfree paper developed to meet the creative and technical demands of today's high-quality publishing, editoeditorial and commercial print markets.

Designed for brands, publishers, designers and printers seeking clarity, precision and refinement, GardaMatt Ice stands out for its exceptionally high whiteness (CIE 130) and distinctive cool, pure tone.

Beyond appearance, GardaMatt Ice, available in a complete selection of publishing formats and substances, delivers a consistently smooth surface and well-balanced bulk. Its optimized coating and extremely fast ink setting contribute to outstanding runnability, printability and finishing results, helping printers increase efficiency without compromising on visual impact. The range is suitable for a wide variety of offset, flexo, laser, and dry toner printing technologies.

In addition, the manufacturing process for the entire Garda range conforms to strict international standards, such as ISO 14001 and EMAS for environmental management, ISO 50001 for energy efficiency, ISO 9001 for quality and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.
