The <a href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/nordlichtern-inspiriert-arctic-blue-gin-verpackung\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">striking packaging<\/a> is made from the lightweight, strong folding boxboard quality Mets\u00e4Board Pro FBB Bright 350 g\/m2.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eThe production of a <strong>holographic packaging<\/strong> is complex and places high demands on the material. It must have a high degree of smoothness and rigidity in order to achieve perfect adhesion of the large holographic surface to the board. The Mets\u00e4 Board team did a great job here,\u201c explains <strong>John Hazen<\/strong>, Managing Director of Hazen Paper Company. \u201eThe board has a uniformly smooth surface, folds exceptionally well and offers economic and ecological advantages. The quality is therefore ideally suited for transfer metallisation and ideal for a <strong>High-end graphics application with positive radiance<\/strong>.\"<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2>Inspired by the Northern Lights<\/h2>\n<p>\u201eWe wanted to create the image of a clear, crisp winter's night with auroras dancing across the Finnish sky. The motif is really very striking and offers exceptional visual elements for the best possible brand presentation,\u201c explains <strong>Mark Beamesderfer<\/strong>, Packaging Services Director Americas, Mets\u00e4 Board.<\/p><div class=\"packa-in-post-alle\" style=\"text-align: center;\" id=\"packa-4065656773\"><div id=\"packa-2196206995\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/newsletter\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"PJ Self-promotion English 03\"><!--noptimize--><img src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03.png 840w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-300x75.png 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-768x192.png 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-18x5.png 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-332x83.png 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-664x166.png 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/PJ-Eigenwerbung-English-03-688x172.png 688w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" width=\"840\" height=\"210\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><!--\/noptimize--><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<p><em>Source: Mets\u00e4 Board<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AIMCAL, the Association of International Metallisers, Coaters and Laminators, has named a packaging designed with flaming northern lights for Arctic Blue Gin as \u201eProduct of the Year 2020\u201c.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":31561,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_title":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[46,58699,32,35,51],"class_list":{"0":"post-34483","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-marketing-und-design","8":"tag-marketing-und-design","9":"tag-metsae-board","10":"tag-packmittel-und-packstoffe","11":"tag-praemiert","12":"tag-verpackungsdruck-und-veredelung","13":"cs-entry","14":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"vimeo_video":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=34483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/34483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31561"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=34483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=34483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
