Ipex demo for Kappa line

Kappa Attica will demonstrate the properties of its new heavyweight solid board, Printline, on Heidelbergs Speedmaster CD 74 machines at Ipex by producing desktop mobile phone holders.

Heidelberg and Kappa Attica logos will be printed on the board and presented to visitors to the Heidelberg stand.

The firm said running heavier board on presses had always been an issue for customers in the past, and Kappa Attica UK sales manager Martyn Wood said the company needed to prove this was possible.

The board is available in weights from 550gsm to 900gsm, with a waste-based greyboard middle. It can also be used for die-cutting, creasing and fold-glue applications.

Printline is produced so that at least one side of the board is laminated with a woodfree machine-coated paper, making it suitable for offset printing. It can also be machine coated on two sides if required.

Wood said Printline was targeted at general board printers and luxury carton manufacturers for applications such as perfume and games boxes.

Based in the Netherlands, Kappa Attica is a subsidiary of recycled paper and board producer Kappa Packaging.
