The completion of an investment programme at Stora Enso’s Ingerois Mill in Finland has resulted in a quality upgrade in the company’s Tambrite board grade.
Tambrite is a fully coated folding boxboard with a cream reverse, which offers high performance in dry and frozen food as well as confectionery and pharmaceutical packaging solutions.
According to the Finland-based forestry industry company, Tambrite’s stiffness, smoothness and printability are complemented by “an outstanding yield”, making it “the perfect board for applications where laser or inkjet coding and Braille embossing are required”.
Stora Enso says the most important technical improvement in the product has been achieved in increased cross direction stiffness and visual appearance.
“In pharmaceutical packaging, reliability and performance of carton board in all required processes is of utmost importance,” the company says.
“Tambrite has a good visual appearance and is performing well in printing and converting processes including digital printing.”
Reported to be the best-selling brand in Germany, Benelux, Italy and Spain, Tambrite has been acknowledged by converters in a recent Cartonboard Brand Tracking Survey (Opticom, spring 2012) as “the most valuable virgin fibre carton board brand” in Europe in 2012.
The Tambrite brand shows “exceptional strength and presence” in pharmaceutical and health care, dry food and frozen and chilled food end uses.
“Tambrite emanates the functionality and the performance needed in every stage of the packaging value chain,” says Stora Enso sales director Michael Eriksson. “It is the all-round best choice for any packaging job where product protection, performance and reliability are key.”
