According to Smurfit Kappa, the patented Catcher Board MB12 uses a method that creates a blocking mechanism across the whole surface area of the packaging, including at the “cut edges” of the board unlike other so called “barrier” solutions.
Smurfit Kappa said its new offering responds fully to prospective legislation that Germany plans to introduce, which would prohibit measurable migration of mineral oil hydrocarbons into food.
The Catcher Board MB12 will be introduced as White Lined Chipboard and Solid Board, the company noted.
