Quilted
Velvet
SCA Hygiene Products UK has
relaunched its premium toilet tissue, Quilted Velvet, with a brand new
look, new packaging, and a new national television and poster campaign.
The relaunch has ensured that the SCA portfolio continues to hold a
strong second position in the UK toilet tissue market.
This follows the successful
relaunch of Double Velvet in September 1997 and is part of a structured
and monitored programme of brand migration to SCA's Quilted Velvet brand
name.
