Arctic Paper Grycksbo has released its AP-Tec portfolio of coated paper products for packaging applications, AP-Tec Liner, AP-Tec Pack and AP-Tec Flex, which feature high bulk and excellent printability.
‘During the last twelve months, we have run comprehensive marketing studies and technical product development programmes in the mill as well as on-site at packaging converters,’ said Jaana Ahlroos, product manager coated products.
‘Our unique coating technology, Mirroblade, gives both an excellent print result and contributes to a higher bulk than is achieved with common blade coating technology. That’s why it’s a logical step for us to focus on packaging segments where high whiteness and excellent print, as well as runnability in converting machines, are needed. The properties of the new AP-Tec products offer enhanced performance during packaging production and aesthetic advantages to the packaged product on the retail shelf,’ added Ms Ahlroos.
AP-Tec Liner is a coated, fully bleached liner with high whiteness and is especially suited for preprint and lamination on corrugated board. It is particularly suited for brands requiring advanced print, high whiteness and finish to give the product the right image.
AP-Tec Pack is a double-sided, coated solid board in high whiteness, particularly aimed at smaller packaging where print quality, runnability and cost efficiency are crucial.
The third product in the packaging range is AP-Tec Flex, a coated packaging paper in high whiteness, especially suited for extrusion, lamination and flexible packaging.
