Stora Enso Launches LumiLiner White Top Liner for Corrugated Industry

Print Print this article | Send to Colleague

Stora Enso, Finland, has developed a new liner in close collaboration with producers of boxes and corrugated packaging. With a basis weight of 90 gsm, the new liner combines the softness of lightweight paper with the bulk and tear resistance of significantly higher weight paper.

LumiLiner is a white, one-side coated paper produced at the company's Uetersen mill in Germany. It features outstanding flatness, excellent smoothness, and good ink holdout, supporting vibrant graphics in corrugated board printing with offset and flexography (post-print), the company notes, adding that LumiLiner is equally suitable for pre-printing of corrugated material in both printing methods.

One of the special features of LumiLiner is its adhesion-friendly reverse side, which permits economical application of adhesive and fast drying to help speed up automated lamination processes. At the same time, this also prevents the adhesive from penetrating the material and thus supports the flatness of the final product, Stora Enso points out.

LumiLiner is available in rolls in the usual widths processed by the corrugated industry as well as in sheets. Free samples are available by contacting specialitypapers@storaenso.com.
