“It provides a sensory interactive experience for the customer that feels easy and natural to handle. It also has the superior embossing features that are inherent with Invercote. It frees up what you can do with the surface and opens up more possibilities for creative messaging.” 

Holmen developed the new uncoated paperboard at its mill in Iggesund, Sweden. 

The product is suitable for various packaging and graphics applications and is initially available in a 330gsm version. 

“Invercote Touch provides a unique and natural addition to our product portfolio that we are very proud of. It widens Holmen’s product offering to existing customers and provides opportunities for new customers who are not familiar with Invercote. We are therefore also very excited to see how it will be used,” Thurfjell added.
