This breakthrough packaging design offers a high oxygen barrier, excellent optics, and enhanced puncture resistance while maintaining optimized formability for hot fill and aseptic applications.
Now available in downsized diameters of 13.5-16mm, the tiny tubes expand Neopac’s award-winning line of high-barrier mono-material solutions, and amount to a significant advancement in sustainability-minded high-barrier packaging technology.
With Koehler NexPlus® Tea Aroma and Koehler NexPlus® Tea Flavor, the company is offering two types of heat‐sealable packaging paper with both a grease and oil barrier and a special aroma barrier, which is well‐suited for essential oils and aromatic tea varieties.
As part of Nestlé’s continuous efforts towards more sustainable packaging solutions, the company is launching paper-based innovations across major brands.
Washington State University studies coatings, films and semi-rigid packaging that incorporate biodegradable materials. Utilization of high oxygen barrier polymers and incorporation of oxygen-scavenging chemicals into packaging could reduce the volume of synthetic packaging.
Lecta also is working to develop other metallized papers aimed at the flexible packaging segment, providing functionalities such as oxygen barrier or high grease resistance without the use of fluorinated elements.
Sappi’s long-standing expertise in innovative, paper-based packaging solutions and Xeikon’s far-reaching knowledge of cross-sector digital printing applications and innovative ink technology ideally complemented each other in this collaborative venture.
