Denmaur has been appointed the fully exclusive UK stockist for the prestigious Garda range of coated papers produced by Lecta, further strengthening Denmaur’s portfolio of high quality, sustainable papers for the print industry. 

Garda Gloss and Garda Silk are widely regarded as among the finest woodfree coated papers available for print. Renowned for their exceptional brightness, high whiteness and excellent bulk, Garda papers are engineered to deliver outstanding print clarity, superior colour reproduction and optimal press performance.



Manufactured at Garda mill near Lake Garda in Italy, the range combines advanced production technology with carefully selected, fully traceable fibre sources to create a truly premium coated paper. It will also join Denmaur’s sought after 'Carbon Balanced at Source' portfolio, supporting the globally important conservation and carbon reduction projects of the World Land Trust. The mill will fund the Carbon Balancing process, enabling Denmaur customers to use the Carbon Balanced Paper logo when producing work on Garda products, at no additional cost.



Denmaur will hold comprehensive stocks of Garda Silk and Garda Gloss, offering the range in both paper and board weights, including 380gsm, and in standard sheet sizes.

Andy Buxton, CEO of Denmaur, welcomed the agreement and highlighted the significance of the partnership: “I’m very familiar with the mill and the brilliant paper it produces. Garda has a long standing reputation for quality within the paper and print sectors, and we are delighted to have the opportunity to become the fully exclusive UK stockist of this magnificent range.”

Lecta also expressed confidence in the new partnership and Denmaur’s ability to support the UK print sector with the Garda range.

Rafael Martinez, Sales and Marketing Director of Fine Papers at Lecta, commented: “We are delighted to appoint Denmaur as the UK merchant for the Garda grade. Denmaur’s strong relationships within the print industry, together with its commitment to service and sustainability, make it the ideal partner to represent this product in the UK.”

This agreement further reinforces Denmaur’s position as a leading independent paper merchant, committed to providing customers with high quality, reliable and sustainably sourced paper and board.

Stock is available from Denmaur now, with the Garda digital range set to follow shortly.
