In a continued extension of a working relationship with Stora Enso, Helsinki, Finland, Warren Board, (Leicester, U.K.) this past week announced the introduction of a reel-to-sheet service for the folding boxboard brand, Tambrite H/S. Converters and printers can benefit from an express, cut-to-size service from an extensive U.K. stock holding. A fully equipped converting facility can now deliver tailor made Tambrite H/S and orders of other cartonboards nationwide within five working days.

Tambrite H/S has become popular in Europe due to strong value, runnability, and performance in its key end-use segments: pharmaceutical, food, and chocolate packaging. It can also be used as an all-round packaging material. Tambrite H/S can flexibly cater to the needs of other end uses as well.

The continuous development of Tambrite H/S has resulted in excellent stiffness and bulk attributes as well as a good visual appearance. The board performs well in printing and converting processes including digital printing, and is ideal for use in both laser and inkjet coding, as well as Braille embossing and other special finishing effects. With its quality consistency, the board is the perfect choice for food packaging when robustness plays an important role, particularly the folding cartons used in confectionery packaging.

"We have a need to offer express deliveries of Tambrite H/S orders, cut-to-size, to support our mill service and to meet the demands of the market. As a trusted partner for many years and following their recent investment into converting, Warren was the obvious synergy for us. We believe our joint offering will meet customer needs both now and in the future," commented Stora Enso’s Regional Sales Director Russell Towsey.

"It’s testament to the exceptional service from our West Bromwich Converting facility that Stora Enso has the confidence to work with Warren in establishing this exciting new service. Having the internationally renowned Tambrite H/S available cut-to-size within a few days will bring many benefits to the UK converting and print markets," added Warren Board Managing Director Kieran Ferguson.
