Koehler Paper, part of the Koehler Group, has collaborated with Wimbée Packaging Solutions, a French manufacturer of cardboard packaging, to create a cap for aerosol cans made of 100% cardboard and paper.
Thanks to its laminating, shaping and printing properties, Koehler’s NexCoat Smart flexible packaging paper is utilized for the surface of the cap. With its high fold-crack resistance, the flexible packaging paper complements Wimbée’s cardboard in terms of printing and processing characteristics, as well as a reduced environmental impact.
“Koehler NexCoat Smart is suited to the challenge of creating a Greener and, in particular, recyclable alternative to standard caps,” explained Bettina Bastien, Brand Owner Manager for flexible packaging paper at Koehler Paper.
“It is made of renewable raw materials and can be re-used multiple times within the established paper recycling process,” Bastien added.
The cap is available in standard diameters of 51 mm and 63.5 mm; cap sizes with diameters of 45 mm und 55 mm are in the works. It was produced for industrial specialist Héritage, which markets furniture care under the brand name O’Cedar, among other products.
