 Metsä Board, Finland, a producer of coated white-top kraftliners, has introduced a new fully bleached liner that complements its Kemiart range. Modo Northern Light is a lightweight, uncoated liner with high whiteness, ideal for microflute as well as for traditional corrugated packaging. Made from fresh forest fibers, it is suitable for direct contact with food and other sensitive products.
Modo Northern Light comes in a low substance range from 80-160 gsm and a bright white shade, making it suitable for microflute applications such as perfume, beautycare, and healthcare, as well as packaging for mobile devices. It also performs well in larger applications, such as online and mail-order packaging. In corrugating, it has a low washboarding tendency due to its bulk, and printability of both solids and screens is excellent, with high contrast. It can be used as a top liner, as fluting, and as a reverse side liner. The new fully bleached liner is manufactured at Metsä Board's Husum mill in Sweden.
"This new product complements our Kemiart range of white top kraftliners by providing even more options for our customers," says Risto Auero, VP Linerboard Sales, Metsä Board Paperboard. "Modo Northern Light helps meet demand for lighter-weight packaging and opens up exciting opportunities for combining a lighter liner with fluting in innovative ways."
