Ball bearing box featuring grease barrier

Mayr-Melnhof Karton has developed another type of grease-resistant cartonboard in collaboration with SKF, the market leader in ball bearings and seals. This particular grade originates from the Swiss mill Karton Deisswil, which focuses on the production of special-purpose cartonboard.

The ball bearing cartonboard developed at the "Swiss speciality factory" is designed so that the grease which is still on the goods for protection reasons can slightly pentrate the surface of the folding box's reverse, but not soak through to the printed front side of the packaging. Neither the material's good printability nor its adhesive properties are in any way impaired by the grease barrier. This grease-resistant cartonboard has been used for over a year and has proved successful in the market.

To order this special quality of cartonboard, please state the following quality description:

32.174 Swisschromo light-coloured reverse, ball bearing (GT2) available in 400, 500 and 600 gsm.

This grade is produced every four weeks. For more information, please contact the team of Deisswil or one of our local selling agencies.
