The new substrate \u2013 produced at MM Kotkamills in Finland \u2013 is suitable for use across a wide range of applications, including dry food, pharma and healthcare, cosmetics, personal care, and even graphical projects. Its smoothness and printability also mean it possesses ideal coding properties, as customers have come to expect from MM Board &amp; Paper\u2019s virgin fibre. This is a major benefit at a time when evolving consumer preferences and legal obligations, such as the EU\u2019s Digital Product Passports (DPP), are placing heightened focus on data carrying in packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Michael Strobl, Director Innovation &amp; Technical Services at MM Board &amp; Paper, said: \u201cWhen packaging needs to look sharp, run smoothly, and deliver consistent results day after day, reliability matters, especially in everyday production. ALASKA\u00ae BRIGHT NEW supports customers in raising their products to new heights with less material, without changing what already works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With ALASKA\u00ae BRIGHT NEW, material efficiency has been improved while all other key characteristics remain unchanged.
