API upgrades OneBoard for impactful packaging

API has upgraded its OneBoard product with a whiter finish and full Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification, which the supplier said helps meet the demand for environmentally sensitive and impactful packaging provided in quick lead times.

OneBoard can be laminated with the full range of API films and foils, and sheeted to a bespoke finished sheet size

OneBoard is said to be particularly suitable for packaging applications in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, confectionary and multimedia, offering high bulk, a smooth surface and a white reverse in combination with film bond strength.

OneBoard is available from stock at API in four weights between 275gsm and 350gsm, and two optimized widths of 734mm and 1054mm. It can be laminated with the full range of API films and foils, and sheeted to a bespoke finished sheet size.

Certification from FSC ensures that OneBoard not only meets all production and supply requirements, but also provides the environmental credentials demanded by API’s customers.

API said the upgraded OneBoard enables it to react quickly to customers’ laminated board demands, with its fast-track processing typically delivering finished laminated product on the environmentally approved board base within days of the order.

Richard Burhouse, commercial director at API, commented: ‘OneBoard has remained hugely popular with customers who are looking for a high-end laminated board finish with quick turnarounds. By working with our suppliers, we are now able to ensure that our complete range of stock widths and weights meets our customers’ environmental demands with its FSC certification, and also provides an improved whiteness for an even greater finish.’
