New cartonboard for luxury packaging from pankaboard.

New cartonboard for luxury packaging from pankaboard. The development of Pankalux follows recent investment at the supplier’s mill in Finland.

The new GC1 folding boxboard has been engineered with the demands of the luxury packaging market in mind and the luxury beverage sector in particular.  The company said the result of the development can be seen as outstanding printing quality, an improved surface for lamination, and improved runnability on high speed packaging lines.

The new product will be officially introduced to the market at the FachPack exhibition in Germany – 27-29 September 2016, Nuremberg – where Pankaboard will be present.
