PRODUCT INNOVATIONS
Two new kraftliners
Metsä Board has launched two new double-coated grades: Kemiart Graph+ and Kemiart Lite+. According to the company, the double coating of the grades provides a smoother and glossier surface, improved ink laydown, brighter colours and more accurate detail. The new grades are reportedly ideal for retail-ready packaging, POS displays and high- end packaging. Kemiart Graph+ has been developed for flexo preprint, as well as high quality flexo post print, offset, screen and water-based inkjet printing, whilst Kemiart Lite+ is designed for flexo postprint. They join Kemiart Ultra and Kemiart Brite in a range that the company believes has a linerboard suitable for every application. Metsä Board says that all Kemiart products are safe to use with food. Made from fresh forest fibres, their “excellent” consistency ensures smooth running in corrugating and printing lines, whilst they are lightweight despite being strong. This means, says the company, that lower weight grades can be specified, providing both cost and sustainability advantages. For more information call 00 358 104 611 or visit

QR code solution
Brand owners are ideally placed to take advantage of the growing popularity of hi-tech Quick Response (QR) codes using printed message tape and labels from Payne, says the tape specialists. A QR code is a type of matrix barcode or 2D code, which can be read by a smartphone or webcam, and is most commonly used to allow the consumer to access extra interactive information about the product or brand. They can also be utilised for promotions and competitions, or for stock tracking. According to Payne, the sophisticated digital
print capabilities of their tape and labels, combined with the ability to add to existing packaging, offers an ideal solution to brands looking to exploit the benefits of QR codes on their packaging. Adding the QR code using a printed tape or label means the QR code can be changed quickly to adapt to changing interactive content. Only the tape or label design needs to be changed, saving money on origination of a new pack. This also has potential to avoid packaging waste. For more information call 0115 975 9001, email
