Stora Enso, Finland, reports that its Tambrite board has been upgraded in quality as a result of an investment program completed at the Ingerois Mill in Finland. Tambrite is a fully coated folding boxboard with a cream reverse, offering high performance in dry and frozen foods as well as confectionery and pharmaceutical packaging solutions. Its stiffness, smoothness, and printability are complemented by a high yield.
The company notes that Tambrite is especially designed for applications where laser or inkjet coding and Braille embossing are required. Its most important technical improvement, the company adds, is increased cross direction stiffness and visual appearance.
In pharmaceutical packaging, reliability and performance of cartonboard in all required processes is of utmost importance, Stora Enso continues, pointing out that Tambrite has a good visual appearance and is performing well in printing and converting processes including digital printing. In food packaging, where robustness of the package plays an important role, Tambrite also performs very well.
According to the recent Cartonboard Brand Tracking Survey 2012 by the research agency Opticom International Research AB, Finland, Tambrite is the most acknowledged virgin fiber cartonboard product brand among converters in Central European markets. The survey also revealed that Tambrite is the best-selling brand in Germany, Benelux, Italy, and Spain.
