MeadWestvaco (MWV) has introduced a new lightweight paperboard, EnShield kit 5 for packaging foods.
According to the company, the new EnShield offers barrier protection for foods that require resistance to oil and grease.
The repulpable and recyclable paperboard gives brand owners an opportunity to improve consumer satisfaction for food packaging with the right barrier protection.
MWV marketing director William Kuecker said the paperboard protects the integrity of packaged and to-go foods and also offers a new sustainable alternative to traditional poly-coated paperboard.
"Consumer product companies and food service operators make significant investments in developing foods that consumers will love, and packaging can serve as an important extension of those brands," Kuecker added.
