Metsä Board is launching a new folding boxboard designed for demanding food and pharmaceutical packaging – together with a custom-cut sheet delivery solution for the European market.
MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go is described as combining a ‘high-quality, multi-purpose’ folding boxboard with ‘dependable’ sheet availability.
“Our customers operate in environments where demand can shift quickly. With MetsäBoard Pro FBB Go and our new service concept, we are making production smoother, planning more predictable and supply chains more resilient, creating a real competitive advantage for our customers in Europe,” said Maarten Florizoone, VP sales Europe at Metsä Board.
The grade is OBA-free and features hard sizing, supporting performance in frozen applications. It also provides opportunities to reduce packaging carbon footprint through lightweighting.
The grade is produced at Metsä Board’s Husum mill in Sweden and sheeted at the company’s sheeting & distribution hub in the Netherlands.
Metsä Board added that its new fast-track service provides folding boxboard sheets in less than three weeks in Europe. For time‑critical needs, the express-track service offers delivery in less than ten days.
