Two weeks shy of drupa 2016, companies such as Paper Force and Asia Pulp & Paper are preparing to showcase a range of new product lines for the print and packaging industry.
Paper Force’s affiliate company Asia Pulp & Paper Group (APP) will focus on the following product lines:
1. Zenith: APP’s fully coated folding boxboard with a coated white back (GC1) has been designed to appeal to printers looking for a solution for luxury cosmetics, confectionery, packaging, greeting cards and pharmaceutical applications. Zenith is designed to be suitable for all types of printing, is food-grade, and available in a range of formats and grammages from 215 through to 380 gsm.
2. SinarKraft: APP’s premier multilayer packaging board range is a three-ply product consisting of pure bleached hardwood kraft fibres with an inner unbleached kraft fibre layer. The board suits high-quality dry and frozen food packaging in addition to applications across cosmetics and pharmaceutical packaging.
Paper Force MD Larry Jackson expected to see consumption of folding cartonboard continue to grow globally to over 63 million tonnes by 2018.
“The lion's share of this growth will be from the growing confectionery, preserved food and soft drink markets within Asia.
“Our updated Zenith and SinarKraft coated folding cartonboard product line will be very interesting for Australian and New Zealand printers looking to diversify into this high growth area right on their doorstep.”
Drupa 2016 will be held from 31 May to 10 June in Dusseldorf, Germany.
