Customer Testimonial: Making Events Shine with KernowPrint PRO (PET) White Synthetic Paper!

We are excited to share this glowing testimonial from Julian Waring , Regional Fundraising Manager for Cornwall & Devon at The Fishermen's Mission:

"At the recent Celebrity Chef fundraising dinner in aid of the Fishermen’s Mission, we had the expert guidance of Kernow Coatings. They seamlessly handled a complex print order - from A3 seating plans to double-sided A5 menus and auction prize lists on various paper sizes.

In under a week, I collected the items, all neatly packed in a bespoke cardboard box. The printed sheets were outstanding - thick, durable paper that stood tall on the tables, with vibrant colors perfectly complementing the theme and wildflower arrangements! We’re so grateful for the efficient, quick support from the friendly team at Kernow Coatings."

KernowPrint PRO (PET) White Synthetic Paper offers exceptional durability and vivid print quality with no need for lamination - making it the ultimate choice for stunning event materials.
