Metsa Board has introduced a new fully bleached liner at Luxe Pack Monaco 2013, called Modo Northern Light.

Modo Northern Light is manufactured at Metsa Board’s Husum mill in Swedem It’s a lightweight, uncoated liner with high whiteness, and it’s ideal for microflute as well as for traditional corrugated packaging. It is applicable both for outer and inner packaging in high-quality applications for beauty products.

Since Modo Northern Light comes in a low substance range – and also comes in a bright white shade – it is ideal for microflute applications, including fragrance packaging. It also works well in larger packaging, for example, online and mail order packaging.

In corrugating it has a low washboarding tendency thanks to its bulk, and printability of both solids and screens is excellent, with high contrast. It can be used as a top liner, as fluting and as a reverse side liner.

Anotehr option for the beauty industry is a double-coated liner, Carta Selecta, which provides even more options when high gloss is required for corrugated packaging, displays, point-of-sale and shelf-ready packaging.

“Both Modo Northern Light and Carta Selecta complement our product range by providing more options for our customers,” says Christophe Baudry, Commercial Director Beautycare & Healthcare, Metsä Board Paperboard. “They are also a good choice in terms of sustainability. They are made from fresh forest fibers grown in sustainably managed Nordic forests.”

Metsa Board is also displaying its folding boxboard range at the show, which includes Avanta Prima.
