Ahlstrom completes labels and packaging investment
Ahlstrom has completed an €7m investment for its metalized labels and flexible packaging operations at a plant in France.
The grades produced at Stenay's paper machine 3 span now from 50 to 160 g/m² which can be used for metalized beer labels and flexible packaging applications such as biscuits, sweets, coffee bags, and bundle wraps for yoghurt pots.
Benefits include improved performance during the converting process at the Stenay plant.
"By lowering the weight of a paper used for metalized labels, flexible packaging and other graphics and industrial applications, Ahlstrom responds to the need for lighter papers to reduce the weight of packaging and labels and consequently lower their environmental footprint," said Daniele Borlatto, EVP, Label and Processing.
