Coated Board For Packaging
Superior Quality
|
Coated board produced from virgin fibre or recycled board, is used for producing high-quality cartons for food packaging. Typical end uses are for cakes and pastry goods, fruits and vegetables, frozen foods, and also for pet food and numerous other products. In the non-food sector, board is also used for hard and paperback covers, games and pharmaceutical products, cosmetics, and point-of-sale displays. Converting and printing companies expect the folding board to provide the highest bulk. This is because the strength is heavily dependent on this characteristic, but smoothness and gloss, which determine the quality of the printing surface, are just as important as bulk. |
Gloss and smoothness can be achieved through machine calendering. However, with hard or soft calendering the bulk or volume of the sheet is reduced by the nip pressure in the calender. The challenge is to improve smoothness with additional gloss without loosing bulk and stiffness. Surface Finishing Brush finishing technology provides a better surface finish, smoothness, gloss, and better stiffness without losing bulk. The DOX Brush Finishing System is normally applied on-line with the board machine. The sheet first passes through a machine calender or soft calender for smoothness and second through the brush finishing unit. Page 1 of 3 |
