Finnish company Avenira Oy has launched a new premium segment multilayer material for box converting applications requiring quality printing and creative packaging solutions.
The new patented material is aimed at those customers who want to tailor their products and create a high-quality finished packaging solution at an economic cost.
Avenira's material – a multi-layer laminate - eliminates the need for pre-printing, cutting one step in the converting process while offering two-side high quality printing.
ENSO AND ELOPAK DEVELOP NEW BOARDS
Stora Enso and Elopak have developed a new board for liquid products, which they say offers a "more exclusive look" and extended shelf life.
The Natura Platina board uses a metallised bi-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) film on top of the board to achieve a "metallic look".
It also has an aluminium foil layer on the reverse to protect the contents against oxygen and humidity, making it suitable for products such as juices, yoghurt and wine.
BASF UNVEILS ULTRAFOAM MATERIAL
BASF has developed a copolymer acetal material (POM) which can be processed by extrusion blow-moulding, opening up "completely new possibilities" for the production of hollow objects and containers.
BASF says the translucent and colourable Ultrafoam E3120 BM material has a high melt stiffness that provides a high stretching capability due to thin-wall thicknesses, which is key to its ability to be blow-moulded.
Applications for the plastic include bottles for nail polish removers and other cosmetics, cans for solvents and paints, as well as pressurised containers such as spray cans.
WCUP TAKES UP AISACAN
Belgian sports drink manufacturer WCUP has become the first company to use the reclosable hybrid Aisacan, developed by Swiss packaging development firm Aisapack.
The Aisacan is comprised of a rigid bottom, top and pre-printed flexible laminate using state-of-the-art rotogravure technology by Huhtamaki, Germany.
The Aisacan will be rolled out in select Western European fitness clubs, cycling shops, specialist beverage shops and football clubs.
