Sappi,
a leading global producer of packaging and speciality papers today reported it is
again exhibiting at FachPack, scheduled for 25 to 27 September 2018 in
Nuremberg, Germany. Sappi will be located in Hall 9, Stand 9-260 at the show.
The trade show, with a focus on packaging, technology, finishing and logistics,
is a key platform for the manufacturer of speciality papers and boards for
presenting its innovative and sustainable packaging solutions to a broad
European expert audience. Well-known brand owners, agencies, packaging
manufacturers, printers and print finishers will be showcasing their latest
products and solutions while also seeking new and innovative ideas.
Under
the slogan of “Paper. People. Possibilities.”, Sappi will have on display
outstanding solutions of applications produced on a variety of packaging papers
and boards, ranging from functional papers, flexible packaging and label
papers, paperboard and containerboard. Visitors to the Sappi stand can benefit
from the expertise of Sappi representatives as well as discuss their specific
packaging requirements.
Barrier solutions that protect
At
FachPack, Sappi will feature a range of functional papers, including
paper-based barrier solutions that protect packaged products from mineral oil
contamination, deterioration due to water vapor or oxygen, and grease
resistance. “We are looking forward to presenting several new barrier products
within our Guard family at the show,” said Kerstin Dietze, Marketing Manager
for Sappi’s Packaging and Speciality Papers. “As a leading company in the
production of paper-based functional barrier solutions and with our experience
and know-how in this field, we have gathered both customer and development
insights that are invaluable in developing new barrier products. We are looking
forward to speaking about the specific needs of visitors to our stand.”
In
addition to barrier papers, Sappi will also be showing a paper based solution
with integrated sealing functionality for use in flexible packaging
applications. These sustainable sealing solutions feature improved sealing
properties. They are completely recyclable, and replace non-recyclable
paper-poly-laminates and they are also containing a high proportion of
renewable raw materials.
Paperboard: Algro Design for
premium packaging
Sappi
will also have numerous examples of premium packaging produced on its family of
Algro Design solid bleached board. This includes high-end packaging for
cosmetics, perfume, beverages, confectionary and fashion that have benefited
from Algro Design’s high brightness and excellent surface, demonstrating the
ability to effectively use any printing or finishing techniques required to set
the product apart on the shelf. Brand owners, agencies and designers will be
especially intrigued with the possibilities this outstanding board, made from
virgin fibres, can open. Visitors will be able to collect a personal copy of
the new Algro Design swatch book at the show.
“New
at the show for paperboard applications,” Dietze added, “will be our first
board solution with integrated functional barrier properties. This will expand
the range of applications that can be sustainably packaged in paperboard
without the need for plastic or other liners to protect products.”
Solution in corrugated board
packaging
Sappi
Fusion Topliner for corrugated board packaging will also have a place of pride
in the Sappi stand at FachPack. Fusion Topliner features better printability,
excellent colour rendering and curl-free results that enable the use of
countless finishing options. It fits seamlessly into existing production
processes, reducing costs and improving quality. In addition, Fusion Topliner
requires 30% to 50% less glue in lamination for reduced glue consumption and
faster drying times.
Fusion
Topliner is also ideally suited for digital printing applications. While
digitally printing in the corrugated board market still comprises a small
percentage of overall printing, experts predict double-digit growth rates per
year due to the increase in shorter runs and more customized corrugated
packaging.
Visitors
to the Sappi stand at FachPack will be able to experience the brilliant colors
and high whiteness that are possible with both conventionally and digitally
printed topliners for corrugated board packaging.
Flexible Packaging and Labels
Sappi
will also have on display its broad portfolio of paper-based products for
flexible packaging and labels. This product portfolio was recently enhanced
with the acquisition by Sappi of the Cham Paper Group, and FachPack will be the
debut of this integrated product portfolio now incorporated into the Sappi
brand. This includes grades for wet-glue and, self-adhesive labelling and a
wide range of coated and uncoated Kraft papers suitable for many flexible
packaging applications.
Paper. People. Possibilities
At
the Sappi FachPack stand, visitors will be able to experience the industry’s
broadest array of high-quality and sustainable paper-based packaging solutions.
Sappi experts will be on hand to welcome guests, learn about their business
requirements and make suggestions for innovative ways that brand owners,
designers, agencies, converters, printers and finishers can utilize these
outstanding solutions for business growth.
