Korsnäs is introducing improvements to its range of liners, to be implemented in the next few months. The upgraded white top kraftliner range has an improved appearance in terms of gloss, brightness and reduced cloudiness. The glue ability of the liner has also been improved, providing increased corrugating efficiency. These improvements result from adjustments to pulp compositions, clay coating, wet end chemistry and improved machine clothing.Korsnäs Decor is a light coated product, which is now offered in a new grammage, 120 gsm. It can replace other coated liners with higher basis weights without compromising on the box strength.“In fact, changing from 130 to 120 gsm reduces weight by 7.7 percent,” a Korsnäs spokesperson told Nordic Paper Journal.Korsnäs Design is a fully coated liner used in high quality print applications. The Korsnäs Design range has now been expanded with a 160 gsm version.Furthermore, Korsnäs is launching a new service, Packaging Performance Service, which helps customers evaluate, test, develop and improve their packaging solutions. A team of experts provides support with packaging optimization, printing and converting issues. Korsnäs has also developed a specific anti-washboarding support function for the corrugating industry.By using EPDs – Environmental Product Declarations – Korsnäs is able to calculate, record and convey the potential environmental impact of each product. An EPD is compiled in accordance with an international standard of rules, guidelines and instructions, and is verified by an independent thirdparty.
