Metsä Board has created a new, enhanced folding boxboard portfolio, designed specifically to help brand owners and packaging converters tackle the big issues in packaging: saving resources, reducing carbon footprint and ensuring product safety.
Besides being better for the environment through lightweighting, the improved product range offers customer benefits by boosting brand appeal with its enhanced and balanced visual properties. The refreshed, simplified selection of products further helps improve Metsä Board’s folding boxboards’ already leading quality consistency, as well as supply reliability.
“Packaging of the future is all about creating better brand experiences with less environmental impact. It is important that we continuously develop new solutions to make packaging even more safe and sustainable. For example, improvements to our new High Yield Pulp have enabled us to further enhance our paperboards thus providing even further opportunities for brand owners to lightweight their packaging,” states Ari Kiviranta, SVP Development, Metsä Board.
The new, improved Metsä Board range now offers even stronger performance in highly demanding end-uses, such as food, beautycare, healthcare or luxury packaging and graphics applications. The range consists of five grades:
- Natural FBB (new) – an uncoated, rigid OBA-free grade that provides an on-trend natural surface to provide authenticity to high end product packaging;
- Classic FBB – emains unchanged, offering the same stiffness and high yield as before;
- Pro FBB OBAfree (new) – presents an improved OBA-free grade with high natural brightness combined with excellent printability;
- Pro FBB Bright (new) – a multipurpose board with high brightness on top and reverse, now offering further opportunities for lightweighting;
- Prime FBB Bright (new) – combines superb brightness, new bluish white shade and high stiffness offering sustainable luxury for high end packaging.
The new improved grades are available for samples and trials this month.
