Print Solutions Packaging Solutions

Chapelton has announced that it is now distributing Smurfit Kappa’s graphic board products range, produced at its Wrexen Mill in central Germany.

The product range includes an uncoated greyboard, white lined, kraftboard and black lined along with a pasted bookbinding board. With an extensive versatility, the products are suitable for a wide variety of print applications, including book covers, lever arch files, stationery, games and puzzles, luxury packaging and displays. The range is being aimed at the book coverings sector, box makers and also jigsaw producers.

The range contains products that all have significant characteristics and properties, including a three-ply construction with inline lamination and a paper centre. Not only does the range benefit from excellent flatness, they also retain a high stiffness and even surface levels. The products are light, flat and smooth, and have precise dimensions and thickness, as well as a quick glue absorption.

Benefitting from small order and partial load ordering, the products can also be cut to size, and can also have tailor made packaging and deliveries available if required. Call off stocks from the mill are also available, along with humidity adjustments as and when needed.

The products will all be available for distribution through Chapelton in a wide range of weights and sizes.

Managing director Neil Skelton stated, ‘We are really pleased with the tie up with Smurfit Kappa Wrexen, it gives us access to new materials and new markets. The flexibility of the mill will be a really helpful tool in progressing sales in the UK and Ireland. We look forward to a sharp increase in business in the UK.’
