Kotkamills Consumer Boards is planning to introduce its new folding boxboard designed for premium packaging at the Luxe Pack 2016 event scheduled to be held in Monaco, France, from 21–23 September.
The Aegle Luxe is a silk matte coated, white back folding boxboard designed for the premium packaging including cosmetics, perfumes, chocolate and luxury drinks.
It is being produced by Kotkamills’ recently commissioned new cartonboard machine, BM2, in Kotka, Finland.
The machine is designed to produce folding boxboard and recyclable barrier board for the packaging industry and food service sector.
Kotkamills said that the machine is producing a completely new range of folding boxboards for the packaging industry under the brand name Aegle.
Kotkamills Consumer Boards New Business Development director Yrjö Aho said: “What is unique about AEGLE Luxe is its luxury silk matte coating that makes the surface of the board extremely smooth and even.
“The sophisticated coating offers excellent printability and is ideally suited to the use of a wide range of special effects and finishing treatments to enhance luxury brand packaging.
“We are very excited to be able to demonstrate these possibilities at LuxePack, where all the latest trends in creative brand promotion are on display.”
At the event, the company plans to introduce its next-generation solutions for creative luxury packaging.
