Korsnäs AB, Sweden, has introduced Korsnäs Artisan, a new cartonboard grade with a "silky smooth surface and excellent printing capabilities." The new board has a very soft touch allowing for new unique packaging experiences, the company notes.

Korsnäs Artisan is a high-white, multi-layered board made of 100 % virgin fiber. "The long, tough, and resilient fibers make for an extremely strong and formable material and the single-coated, silky smooth surface offers excellent printing properties," the company explains. The combination of "outstanding shapeability" and printability makes it an ideal packaging material for luxury products such as cosmetics, perfume, and exclusive confectionery. The new product meets the strictest hygiene requirements and is approved for direct contact with food, Korsnäs adds. It is available in grammages from 270 to 390 gsm. The material is recyclable and made of compostable ingredient.
