Stora Enso launches LennoKraft

Stora Enso has launched LennoKraft, a white, one-side coated kraft paper suitable for various packaging applications for the food and non-food industries.

LennoKraft's white, glossy surface supports printing of graphics using gravure, flexo and offset printing

LennoKraft is produced in basis weights of 90g/sq m, 110g/sq m and 140g/sq m. Its white, glossy surface supports printing of graphics using gravure, flexo and offset printing.

LennoKraft contains no optical brighteners and is suitable for the production of food packaging. According to BfR recommendation 36 and FDA, LennoKraft is suitable for direct contact with dry, moist and fatty foodstuffs. Applications include, for example, single- or multiwall bags and sacks, grocery bags, pouch banderols and envelopes. LennoKraft can also be used for lamination and extrusion coating.

Eckhard Kallies, vice-president of Stora Enso Speciality Papers, said: ‘With the launch of LennoKraft, Stora Enso broadens its packaging paper range with a white, coated kraft paper that offers a novel product to the kraft paper market. Unlike conventional coated papers, LennoKraft features high tensile and tear resistance, coupled with high stiffness and excellent bending and burst resistance.

‘The coated kraft paper also stands out thanks to its high bulk and high opacity. Its strength characteristics and visual appearance make it an ideal choice for a variety of packaging applications.’
