Improved performance board from BillerudKorsnäs

5 November 2013


Extensive remodelling of the board machine has enabled BillerudKorsnäs to "tweak the properties" of its high performance cartonboard material further - especially in terms of appearance and printability.

"It is more than just a general upgrade," insists Magnus Levinsson, business segment director cartonboard. "We have made the print surface more even and applied a triple coating. This contributes to reduced white top mottling and improved colour printing. You get more even print, more vibrant colour, a wider colour gamut and more life-like colour reproduction. Furthermore, the new cartonboards offer improved quality consistency, which means that you can expect excellent results at all times."

Four specialised cartonboard grades are available: BillerudKorsnäs White is the company's flagship cartonboard for luxury brands - combining strength, shapeability and printability; BillerudKorsnäs Artisan is a modern lightweight cartonboard with a silky-smooth surface, for quality printability "as well as a nice haptic experience"; BillerudKorsnäs Carry is an "immensely strong" cartonboard offering good protection of heavy content. It is suitable for package windows and designs for hanging or handles; BillerudKorsnäs Light is for dry, chilled or frozen foods. It is moisture-proof and "extremely pure, no effect on taste or smell".

Levinsson adds: "The new product benefits will be most apparent in Carry and Light. Besides the improved properties, the remodelling of the board machine ensures increased capacity."
