Kapag, together with its sister company Oppboga, is set to welcome visitors to its stand at London Packaging Week (H36).
Visitors to the events can see, feel and touch the many natural paperboards the sister companies have on offer.
‘In today’s fast paced digital age, consumers long for all things tangible,’ said Alexander Meyer, managing owner of Kapag. ‘Our paperboards invite them to touch the packaging as well as admire the true craftmanship (design, print, embossing, converting) that went into making such attractive packaging.’
Kapag has recently launched FibreForm Brown Duo, a natural brown paperboard that complements its best selling FibreForm White Duo, reflecting the growing trend for the use of sustainable materials in premium packaging for luxury goods.
Thanks to its high tearing resistance and tensile stretch, this 3D paperboard lends itself to the extremely deep embossing that is so attractive to consumers. This food approved and FSC certified board is made from 100% cellulose fibres. On request, it can also be produced with a certain percentage of recycled fibres.
Oppboga Bruk, too, has tactile paperboards to showcase. Andrew Robinson, managing director, describes Oppboga’s latest advances: ‘We have recently developed uncoated boards that satisfy the market’s increasing demand for natural materials.’
Oppboga Robust Kraft is a solid unbleached sulphate board with a natural brown on one or both sides. It has a high tear strength that keeps products and brands safe. It runs extremely well on automated packing lines and is suited for multipacks and heavy carton, be it for luxury beverages, gift sets or electronics. On the other side of the colour spectrum is Oppboga Truecoat Reverse. This white board has a light surface coating for print performance while giving an uncoated feel to the touch. The outstanding whiteness and smooth surface lend themselves perfectly to luxury packaging.
‘Sustainability is a topic that continues to grow in importance, but here at Oppboga we have always sourced FSC certified fibres from Scandinavian forests. Since 1950 the amount of wood produced in Sweden has tripled from one billion to three billion cubic metres,’ added Andrew.
