In many cases, cartonboard solutions with a barrier can now be an alternative to plastic packaging for sophisticated foods such as chocolate or baked goods. The new truffle packaging from Kultasuklaa is a good example of how cardboard can be used as a sustainable packaging solution even for premium foods.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Recyclable, biodegradable and made from renewable materials: These are the properties that companies and consumers increasingly expect from packaging - including food packaging. Especially However, food often requires a fat or moisture barrier.<\/strong> This is why many manufacturers and consumers initially think of plastic-coated packaging in this context.<\/p>

However, often Cardboard solutions with dispersion barrier coating<\/strong> and a varying degree of grease and moisture barrier can be used. This is because they are recyclable and can be processed in paper and cardboard recycling: At over 80 per cent, paper and cardboard packaging has a very high recycling rate. This is a very important factor, as packaging for consumer products now accounts for more than half of all packaging produced worldwide.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div><\/div>

In addition to a high recycling rate, cardboard solutions also score with other qualities: The Finnish cartonboard manufacturer Mets\u00e4 Board, for example, relies on pure virgin fibres that can be traced back to their origin in sustainably managed Nordic forests<\/strong>. The material is lightweight, yet very stable and versatile for offset, flexo and digital printing. With a dispersion barrier coating, it is used to produce the board quality Mets\u00e4 Board Prime FBB EB, which is suitable for direct contact with food and offers medium-strength protection against grease and moisture thanks to its dispersion barrier.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Produced for more than 30 years the Finnish family business Kultasuklaa in Lasim\u00e4ki produces handmade chocolate products<\/strong> and uses only first-class quality and premium ingredients for its chocolate bars, confectionery and truffles. With a new eye-catching hexagonal packaging solution made from virgin fibre cartonboard<\/strong> the company not only generates a lot of attention for its truffles at the PoS, but also reduces the use of plastics and thus lowers the environmental impact of its products without compromising the shelf life of the valuable ingredients.<\/p>

In addition, the chocolate manufacturer attaches great importance to ensuring that the raw materials used for the packaging are sourced locally and that ethically produced<\/strong> be produced. The company chose Mets\u00e4 Board Prime FBB EB as the material for the packaging. The packaging material is produced in Finland at Mets\u00e4 Board's Kyro plant.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In addition to Mets\u00e4 Board, numerous other companies were also involved in the production process: The structure of the packaging was created by CadPack, the layout was designed by DesignCompany and the printing was carried out by Markprint. The striking and functional packaging solution is therefore not only a good example of how cartonboard can be used for food packaging, but also demonstrates the potential of cartonboard for food packaging. Results from a successful collaboration<\/strong> can arise. For this reason, Mets\u00e4 Board offers so-called Co-creation workshops<\/strong> in which the company's packaging team works together with customers and experts from various industries to improve current packaging or develop new solutions.<\/p>

In addition to the wide range of analysis tools offered by the Excellence Centre, these workshops primarily provide the opportunity for a joint exchange. Challenges of the product and requirements for its packaging become visible right at the start of the planning process, and the partners can address them early on in the process. The end result is an efficient, sustainable and Packaging customised to the needs of the product,<\/strong> especially when the product in question is a sophisticated confectionery.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
