SCA launches Solo Print

SCA said Solo Print is characterized by a very high print quality and very high opacity.

Solo Print is specially developed for flexible packaging, as well as bring suited for bags, wrapping paper, flowpack and banners, SCA said. It is certified for direct contact with dry and fatty food. It is suitable for use as a lamination base or PE/PP coating on the inside to allow for heat sealing and to provide moisture protection.

The coating is of the same high quality as the printing paper that SCA produces for magazines and advertising. The paper is based entirely on fresh fibre and is therefore highly suitable for applications within the food sector, it said.

Solo Print complements SCA’s Splendo, Operio and Puro product lines within its Sustainable Packaging line. They include both coated and uncoated grades

Solo Print can also be used in board applications with its high opacity and brightness providing a surface suitable for various types of board applications.

Rolf Johannesson, marketing director at SCA Forest Products, said: ‘Our new Sustainable Packaging products have been well received by converters and brand owners.

‘We have identified strong demand for a one-side coated paper and we have therefore decided to launch one.

‘We have applied our extensive knowledge of both printing on paper and packaging solutions in the development of our new products, to combine printing performance with efficient resource management and low cost. We are also proud of our world-class environmental performance.’
