By GlobalData“For our customers, this is a product that runs dependably and seamlessly like other forms of polyethylene coated stock and provides an excellent print surface.
“Consumers can feel good about purchasing products in packaging using this board because it is fully renewable.”
Paper-based packaging solutions provider Burd and Fletcher has already used the board to produce its new Envy ice cream container.
Burd and Fletcher chief sales officer John Nycklemoe said: “We believe that the introduction of our Envy ice cream container will not only assist with the growing sustainability movement in the frozen dairy market, but also contribute to solidifying consumers brand loyalty by providing more eco-friendly options at shelf.”
Evergreen’s Sentinel paper and paperboard line currently includes foodservice board and cupstock, as well as food-grade packaging board and flexible packaging paper.
