Sappi Europe has announced the launch of Algro Volume, the latest addition to Sappi’s Algro paperboard family. Produced at Sappi Europe’s Maastricht Mill, The Netherlands, Algro Volume is a premium paperboard, ideal for demanding and durable packaging and graphic solutions.
With its silky top surface, enhanced stiffness, boosted bulk, bright white finish, and outstanding printing and finishing properties, Algro Volume combines strength, functionality and printability, all in a single package.
Director of Packaging & Dye Sublimation, Luis Mata, says, “Algro Volume is an outstanding board that delivers against every challenge, expertly designed to fulfill the rigorous physical demands typically reserved for solid bleached boards (SBB). The multiform base composition optimises stiffness and bulk, and together with Sappi’s unrivalled coating capability ensures exceptional printing and finishing performance for your applications.”
Versatile and resilient, Algro Volume carries all the compliance features you would expect, including odour neutrality, purity of toy safety (heavy metal content), and suitability for direct food contact as per BfR XXXVI, FDA, and Austrian food legislation. Made of 100% virgin fibres, it is fully recyclable and can be supplied as FSC Mix Credit (FSC™-C015022) or 100% PEFC (PEFC/07-32-76) certified upon request.
Available in both sheets and reels, Algro Volume is ideal for premium packaging and demanding graphic applications. It supports a variety of finishing techniques, including embossing, varnishing, and foil lamination. End uses include promotional material, covers, cards, tags and tickets, and packaging for pharmaceutical, confectionary, food and beverage, as well as beauty and personal care products.
Algro Volume is available in multiple grammages ranging from 220gsm to 380gsm and is suitable for offset, flexo and screen printing processes.
