The company claims that the paper surface of Metalkote Expert, which is said to be the improved version of Metalkote Evolution, provides an optimised varnish consumption and better gloss after metallising.

"Those product launches are well-aligned with our strategy to maintain our leading position as speciality paper producer for the metallised label business."

Developed for one-way beer bottles, Metalkote Classic base paper meets the technical requirements of the metallising process, and enables high-performance during printing and labelling.

Munksjö and Facestock Base Papers vice-president Adeline Saillard said: "With the review of our Metalkote range, we offer to metallisers, printers and brewers different paper solutions to meet more precisely the need of each end-use market, whether for returnable or one-way bottles.

"Those product launches are well-aligned with our strategy to maintain our leading position as speciality paper producer for the metallised label business. For more than 20 years, we have been supporting the industry and are still committed to continue."
