Graphic Packaging has launched its first-ever uncoated recycled paperboard product, PaceSetter Ridgeline.
The company describes its new product as a high-performing solution for folding cartons, laminations, edge protectors, tubes and cores, and other speciality purposes; and hopes that it will help it to reach a broader range of paperboard and consumer packaging customers.
PaceSetter Ridgeline is made from 100% recycled fibre and contains at least 45% post-consumer recycled content. The solution is produced at Graphic Packaging’s Texas paperboard mill, and is available in 14- to 30-point calipers.
According to the company, its Texas facility enables “seamless transitions” between coated and uncoated recycled paperboard, with the aim of facilitating quick responses to shifting customer demand. “Advanced technology” at the plant also seeks to support sheet squareness, colour consistency, quality assurance and converting performance across high-volume applications.
Commenting on the launch Robbert Rietbroek, president and chief executive officer at Graphic Packaging said: “PaceSetter Ridgeline extends our recycled paperboard platform to new markets and customers, further diversifying our portfolio to include industrial applications.
“This new uncoated grade gives customers a fit-for-purpose recycled paperboard option backed by the scale, reliability and manufacturing capability they expect from Graphic Packaging.”
