Sappi Speciality Papers will be exhibiting
at this year’s Packaging Innovations Show taking place in London, from 30
September to 1 October on stand D6, to present its latest innovative papers and
board packaging solutions. These include the sustainable and recyclable
packaging grades such as Algro Guard M and Leine Guard M, offering Mineral Oil
Barrier functionality to safeguard food from contamination. Also featured at
the show will be Sappi’s award-winning bright white carton board Algro Design;
the premium white topliner Fusion for lamination to carton and corrugated cardboard;
and biodegradable packaging solutions like Algro Nature, a certified home
compostable flexible packaging substrate that is based on renewable raw
materials, as is the case with all Sappi papers.
Produced to high quality ISO standards as
well as FSC accreditation, Sappi Speciality papers have been developed to meet
the growing requirements of brand owners and converters for grades that address
improved shelf presence and brand image, environmental and sustainable impact,
enhanced productivity and functionality as well as concerns around food safety.
Speciality papers from Sappi give customers
an array of options to improve shelf presence and brand image ranging through
flexible packaging, premium SBS board, topliner for high quality corrugated
packaging, wet glue applied label paper enabling strong on-shelf appeal packaging
papers offering stiffness and pack strength, silicone base papers for carriers
for self-adhesive products, and home compostable papers. Sappi’s family of
coated paper products offers a variety of packaging applications ranging from
sachets and pouches for the food industry to confectionery wrappers and labels.
Enhancing
environmental sustainability
With Algro Nature, Sappi is presenting a
home compostable paper packaging solution. The Algro Nature paper, produced
with cellulose based film from Innovia Films, enables brand owners and
packaging manufacturers to develop packaging from renewable resources, that once
used can be easily composted, either commercially or domestically.
Keeping
Food Safe
Also on show will be the new and innovative
Sappi grades Algro Guard M and Leine Guard M. These sustainable and recyclable
packaging materials are designed to address concerns about migration of mineral
oil into food from packaging that is manufactured from recycled fibres. The
integrated solution of mineral oil barrier functionality combined with
excellent heat sealing properties minimise converting process steps and considerably
reduce costs in the supply chain.
Fusion
a white top liner for corrugated packaging
Presented at the show is Fusion, a
premium-quality, bright white premium liner. Composed of white bleached virgin
fibres, this top liner has achieved success among a number of stakeholders in
the packaging supply chain, ranging from corrugators to litho laminators and finishers
of folding cartons, as well as print finishers, designers, agencies and brand
owners. Thanks to its high white finish, Fusion outperforms standard white-top
liners and gives colour prints an unprecedented brilliance and saturation,
whereby the finishes have a very tactile appeal. The top liner Fusion convinces
with excellent converting properties and production advantages such as 30% less
glue consumption, less cracking, high runability and reduced transportation and
storage costs.
Algro
Design: special finishes drive brand value
For many brand owners, packaging
manufacturers and finishers, Sappi’s superior SBS carton board Algro Design is
the first choice when it comes to printability and virtually limitless
processing and finishing options. It guarantees maximum precision, value and consistent
quality. Algro Design from Sappi is one of the most popular coated cellulose carton
brands. The product range impresses with superior whiteness, consistent surface
finish, very high light resistance and a silky smooth touch.
