Feldmuehle Offers VivaCard in High Basis Weights

Feldmuehle has added new high basis weights to its VivaCard® range of high-white, matt SBS boards. VivaCard C1S, which was previously available in 220 - 330 gsm, is now also available in basis weights of 350 and 380 gsm. The VivaCard C2S range, previously available in 200 - 330 gsm, has been expanded with three new basis weights - 360, 380, and 410 gsm. VivaCard is an ideal choice for high-impact packaging and a wide range of graphical applications.

"The expanded basis weight range enables us to meet customer requirements even better. In addition to excellent creasing and die-cutting behavior, the high basis weights offer an excellent MD/CD stiffness ratio, which is particularly important for folding boxes. When designing packaging, our customers value not only VivaCard's reliable convertibility, but especially its unique look and feel, as well as its delta gloss," said Markus Muller, segment manager of board solutions.

The look and feel of the material plays a crucial role in packaging design when it comes to ensuring POS differentiation and attractiveness of products. Thanks to its unique silky smooth, matt feel, VivaCard enables the creation of packaging with a high-quality look. VivaCard also impresses with its high-white, modern surface and excellent print quality. All of this is enhanced by its delta gloss, i.e., the gloss difference between varnished and unvarnished surfaces This visual effect accentuates elements of the printed image in a simple but effective manner. VivaCard thus offers the perfect solution for creating a strong product appearance for high-impact advertising.

Thanks to its bulk and stiffness, VivaCard is suitable for various applications, such as folding boxes, covers, folders, postcards, tags, tickets, posters, game cards, and shopping bags.
