It is also heat-sealable and comes with various strength properties, which makes the range an ideal solution for any further processing requirements across all market’s commercially available packaging machines.

Koehler’s sales manager for Flexible Packaging Papers Yevgen Zolotkovski said: “Koehler NexPlus Seal Pure MOB, which is made from 100% virgin fibre pulp and is therefore suitable for contact with food, impressed everyone involved thanks to its outstanding barrier properties.”

The NexPlus range features a mineral oil barrier, which ensures that the products inside are protected from chemical compounds such as mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons.

Gundlach’s senior sales manager Rüdiger Brinkmann said: “Although it’s an uncoated paper, the printing results are excellent and highlight the new environmentally friendly concept.”

The packaging solution has already been rolled out in the Australian market.

Madura’s engineering/technology lead Carsten Loemker added: “Madura Tea has made the right decision in demonstrating its environmental responsibility by using recyclable materials from sustainable sources.”
