European-based Sonoco-Alcore S.a.r.l, a wholly owned subsidiary of Sonoco, Hartsville, S.C., USA, reports that it is introducing several new products at the PacTec Exhibition next week in Helsinki, Finland. Among the new products that will be featured are Intellicore radio frequency identification (RFID) enabled paper cores for roll tracking in the paper industry, Dricore rain-resistant paperboard cores for the agricultural industry, and FirmaLoad carriers, environmentally responsible paperboard pallets for transporting bulk bags.

Water-resistant properties allow the DriCore paperboard core to be stored outside for up to 20 days without sacrificing core strength or stability, Sonoco notes. The Intellicore paper roll utilizes RFID technology to enable automatic paper roll inventory tracking from initial production all the way through to consumption. It allows manufacturers to monitor and streamline production in real time, minimizes buffer stocks and working capital, and ensures accurate order fulfillment. The Firmaload carrier is an environmentally friendly paperboard product used in the FIBC industry as a more efficient and effective means of transporting big bags. The FirmaLoad carrier saves on cost, space and freight versus wooden pallets.

A number of other new products include the M-Core a high-performance paper mill core for the printing industry, the Printex core for the textile industry, and a range of products for all served industries.
