The first is based on barrier base paper UPM Solide Lucent 78 g/m2 with a 4 g/m2 PE coating, apparently well suited to coating and lamination and providing a ‘superior surface’ for further converting and printing, including rotogravure. The second version pairs UPM FlexPack 80 g/m2 with a 4 g/m2 PE coating. UPM’s coated one side UPM FlexPack papers are designed for a range of lamination processes and reportedly offer strength and high-quality print results, especially on flexo printing. Both versions have a thin and heat sealable 4 g/m2 PE layer said to guarantee heat-sealability and the correct level of moisture resistance. “With growing demand for recyclable materials, we decided to focus on lowering the grammage of our coating to develop a unique product. Our goal was to create as thin a coating as possible while also maintaining quality, barrier properties, and heat sealability. This solution is available on many other papers and for a numerous end-uses such as meat and cheese wrapping, flexible packaging and even sack production,” said Aleksander Borysow, CEO and chairmen of the board at Unipaco. UPM states the fibre-based wrapper is safe for food contact and compliant with recyclability requirements. The wrapper is due to be displayed at UPM Specialty Papers’ stand 241, Hall 3A at [FACHPACK](https://www.fachpack.de/en?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in Nuremburg, Germany, September 24th\-26th and at [PACK EXPO](https://www.packexpointernational.com/?ref=packaging-europe.ghost.io) in Chicago, USA, at stand W-21110 in the Containers and Materials Pavilion, November 3rd\-6th.
