Metsa Board has created a folding boxboard portfolio designed specifically to help brand owners and packaging converters tackle the big issues - saving resources, reducing carbon footprint and ensuring product safety.
MetsaBoard Classic FBB remains unchanged, but there are four new offerings. MetsaBoard Natural FBB is an uncoated, rigid OBA-free grade. MetssBoard Pro FBB OBAfree is an improved OBA-free grade with high natural brightness. MetsaBoard Pro FBB Bright is a multipurpose board with high brightness on top and reverse, and offering further opportunities for lightweighting. MetsaBoard Prime FBB Bright combines a new bluish white shade and high stiffness for luxury packaging.
The new grades will be available for samples and trials from May.
“Packaging of the future is all about creating better brand experiences with less environmental impact. It is important that we continuously develop new solutions to make packaging even more safe and sustainable. For example, improvements to our new high yield pulp have enabled us to further enhance our paperboards thus providing even further opportunities for brand owners to lightweight their packaging,” said Ari Kiviranta, SVP Development, Metsa Board.
