NewPage Corp., Miamisburg, Ohio, USA, a supplier of specialty papers, has introduced FlexPack Essential™, the newest member of its family of flexible packaging papers designed for lamination and extrusion applications in food and medical packaging. Designed for flexible packaging requiring a smooth, semi-gloss finish and Food and Drug Administration (FDA) compliance for food contact, FlexPack Essential works with emulsion, solventless, and solvent laminations, and is available in a variety of basis weights from 22.5 – 55 lb. (3,000 ft2).

NewPage adds that FlexPack Essential's rigidity and on-the-shelf performance offers brand owners a more sustainable flexible packaging option compared with traditional film substrates.

"Consumers are demanding more responsible packaging," said Jim Sheibley, director of business and product development for specialty papers. "With the creation of FlexPack Essential, NewPage offers brand owners the ability to add more renewable content to their flexible packaging without compromising on-the-shelf performance."
