The aim is to replace plastic in packaging by using so-called barrier paper wherever possible, the companies say.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The range covers a broad spectrum: it includes standard coated and uncoated paper used in laminates for pouches, sachets, and other applications, making them suitable for a wide range of packaging for food and non-food products. The next generation of paper for flexible packaging are sustainable barrier paper with functional surfaces for product-specific protection (Koehler NexPlus). The NexFlex product family also includes paper coated on one side with good dimensional stability and high smoothness (Koehler NexCoat), the brand says, as well as uncoated paper with a natural appearance (Koehler NexPure). Its recyclability has also been verified by the Papiertechnische Stiftung (PTS) institute with Cepi testing. \u00a0<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em>Related:\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.packagingstrategies.com\/articles\/106155-boom-boom-chewing-gum-partners-with-koehler\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volka Food International, one of Pakistan\u2019s confectionery producers, has partnered with Metatex, a high-end packaging converter, to introduce advanced metallized barrier paper for its \u201cBoom Boom\u201d chewing gum range.\u00a0 Working closely with Koehler Paper, Jacob J\u00fcrgensen Papier und Zellstoff GmbH, and Trade International, Metatex has enabled the adoption of \u201cKoehler NexCoat Smart M\u201d\u2014a recyclable, high-performance [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":10842,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[165],"tags":[2794,134,2795],"class_list":["post-10841","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-packaging-news","tag-chewing-gum","tag-confectionery-packaging","tag-pakistan"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10841","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=10841"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10841\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/10842"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=10841"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=10841"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.packagingindustrynews.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=10841"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
