Metsä Board, Finland, has introduced a fully bleached new liner known as Modo Northern Light, a lightweight, uncoated liner with high whiteness, ideal for microflute as well as for traditional corrugated packaging. It is applicable both for outer and inner packaging in high-quality applications such as beautycare.
Modo Northern Light comes in a low substance range from 80-160 gsm and a bright white shade, making it ideal for microflute applications such as perfume and other beautycare packaging. It also works well in larger packaging, for example, 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 contrats, the company notes. It can be used as a top liner, as fluting, and as a reverse side liner. The new liner is produced at Metsä Board's Husum mill in Sweden.
