Paper and packaging company UPM Specialty Papers will exhibit several new, sustainable products at Pack Expo International.
The featured new products are co-created with a number of UPM’s partners and they include (information from the UPM press release):
- UPM Specialty Papers x Michelman: three co-created solutions, including a high-barrier concept which achieves ground-breaking oxygen and moisture barriers with water-based coatings. The high-barrier solution provides a new option for demanding end-uses such as coffee or chocolate.
- UPM Specialty Papers x Henkel x Koenig & Bauer: a solution which provides excellent sealability properties and adequate moisture and grease barrier for confectionery end-use, for example, and is ideal for digital printing.
- UPM Specialty Papers x Fazer: a heat-sealable, recyclable packaging for Fazer Oat Rice Pies, which are found in the chill food aisle at supermarkets. Resistant to moisture and grease, the packaging eliminates the need for an additional plastic layer.
- UPM Specialty Papers x Unipaco: a heat-sealable, moisture resistant salad pot wrapper using paper and extremely thin PE layer to replace traditional plastic packaging. The structure is PTS Cat II compatible and meets strict German 95/5 mono-material requirements, with single-component materials accounting for 95% of the packaging mass.
- UPM Specialty Papers x BOBST x Michelman: an innovative high-barrier and recyclable paper-based packaging, designed for products with a long shelf-life such as coffee, spices and other challenging end-uses.
- UPM Specialty Papers x Eastman: a paper-based packaging solution with thin compostable bio-based extrusion coating, which delivers heat-sealability and excellent adhesion at low coat weights. Designed for food end-uses where oxygen and grease barrier is needed, such as confectionary end-uses.
