US-based Gorham has announced that it has added up to 25% wet strength, color and grease resistance to packaging papers, providing improved functionality for demanding quick service restaurant (QSR) and food applications.
The company noted that the new product was developed following a customer requirement for a colored, grease resistant paper with high wet strength for a carry-out food application.
Gorham product manager Wayne Nablo said that the expectations for food packaging are great as the paper that holds the burger or fries must stay intact and look good while eating.
"We worked side-by-side with the customer to engineer a colored paper to support their brand imaging objectives with high levels of wet strength and grease resistance for durability," Nablo added.
Recently, the company announced its food packaging which includes bleached and unbleached paper that incorporates grease resistance, wet strength and the ability to add color. The products are suitable for a range of Quick Serve Restaurant (QSR) and other food packaging including wraps, pouches, bags and liners.
Gorham offers a broad range of custom-engineered specialty packaging, converting, engineered and printing papers in addition to tissue and towel.
