Sappi Europe is expanding its broad portfolio by adding new products such as Guard ICC, a flexible packaging paper for ice cream cones, Guard OHS a barrier and heat sealable paper for various food and non-food packaging applications and Guard Twist Gloss, a glossy, recyclable wax free barrier paper for twisting applications in the confectionary market, according to Lesprom.
The new products will be presented at Sappi’s booth at this year’s FACHPACK (September, 24-26) in Nuremberg, Europe’s central meeting place for the packaging industry and its users.
Sappi’s new flexible packaging paper is designed for applications where dimensional stability or double-sided protection are needed – making it ideal for packaging ice cream cones. Guard ICC is suitable for direct food contact. It is equipped with barrier properties against water vapor as well as grease on both sides. The bleached kraft paper features a machine glazed surface. The new flexible packaging paper also excels when using flexographic or gravure printing processes as well as in conversion processes such as glueing and dye cutting.
Sappi is also introducing Guard OHS, a versatile barrier paper designed for various flexible packaging applications, including flow-wraps, sachets, and pouches for both food and non-food markets. Guard OHS is available in three print side versions and grammages: Natural (62 g/m²), Silk, and Gloss (both in 77 g/m²).
