Barrier packaging

Expanding the limits – think paper based

The intriguing properties of paper and its possible uses can go beyond imagination when using enhanced protection technologies.

Today's industrial paper grades can manage much more than wet and moisture. A shield formed by an extrusion coated barrier increases the corrugated case material´s resistance to substances, either from the packed good or the outside environment.

Coatings may also serve to contain fibres within the paper's surface - for example for frozen food applications or in the glass industry when producing for medical or hygiene industries. Even for hot and viscous products corrugated barrier packaging is used. Coating also improves the puncture resistance of the corrugated board and we have developed a solution avoiding mineral oil migration.
