Sweden’s Korsnäs has introduced Korsnäs Artisan – a new cartonboard grade with a silky smooth surface and excellent printing capabilities – on the opening day of Luxe Pack 2011 in Monaco, 19 October.
The new board has a soft feel, allowing for “new unique packaging experiences”. The product is a high-white, multi-layered board made of 100% virgin fibre. The long, tough and resilient fibres make for an extremely strong and formable material and the single-coated, silky smooth surface offers excellent printing properties.
Meeting the strictest hygiene requirements and approved for direct contact with food, the company says Korsnäs Artisan offers: “A combination of outstanding shapeability and printability [making] an ideal packaging material for luxury products such as cosmetics, perfume and exclusive confectionery.”
Korsnäs Artisan is available in grammages from 270 to 390 gsm. The material is recyclable and made of compostable ingredients.
Korsnäs is one of the world’s leading producers of virgin fibre-based packaging material, primarily for consumer products. Production is conducted at sites in Gävle, Frövi and Rockhammar in Sweden. The company stresses that concern for the environment is high on the agenda throughout all of its processes and services.
