The new board is suitable for digital printing
Aegle Zero, a new uncoated folding boxboard with an uncoated reverse, has been added to the range of packaging materials offered by Finnish paper and board company, Kotkamills.
An uncoated packaging grade of boxboard with a natural look, Aegle Zero is suitable for digital printing for food and non-food end-uses. The grade is made from the same virgin Nordic fibre as the company’s Aegle Pro and Aegle White ranges. Printability, CD stiffness and value are all offered by the new grade.
‘The tactile and natural looking surface of Aegle Zero provides the opportunity for creative packaging design where values of pure, organic quality are implicit in the final product choice,’ said David Ingham, sales director of consumer boards. ‘It offers a real opportunity for packaging differentiation and is suitable for a range of printing processes and finishing techniques, like hot and cold foiling.’
The new product is produced on the company’s new BM2 cartonboard machine in a range of 305-615 microns.
