"As a non-integrated mill targeting customer-focused paper solutions, we knew this was right in our wheelhouse," said John Mazuroski, Appleton Coated’s business development manager for technical and specialty products. "We have a long history of making lightweight base stocks for specialty applications. For this project, our specially designed fiber-refining technology, and the ability to purchase and blend end-use-specific fibers came together. This is a robust, groundwood-free product. It prints very well and offers superior fold- and burst-strength, while delivering excellent runnability on press and in bindery."
Appleton Coated Pharma Insert Opaque is available in a 27-lb. basis weight and offered in rolls and sheets. Acid-free, enhanced elemental chlorine-free (EECF) and pH neutral, it may be ordered with post-consumer recovered fiber (PCRF), as FSC® certified, SFI® certified, and with Green-e®-certified Green Power. For all grades that carry the Green Power designation, 100% of the electricity used to manufacture these products is matched with renewable energy credits (RECs) from Green-e certified energy sources, primarily wind.
