Expanded production options for in-demand Fusion Topliner

Packaging Solutions

Sappi is expanding production of its sFusion Topliner grade to its flagship mill in Gratkorn, Austria. The Fusion Topliner – a white virgin fibre liner for high quality corrugated packaging – will also continue to be manufactured at the company’s Ehingen mill in Germany.

Just a decade ago, there were only two options on the market for coated white corrugated liners: either kraft liner made from high quality raw materials and with a very low recycled content, or test liner, which consists almost exclusively of recycled paper. As an alternative, Sappi developed its Fusion Topliner. It is recommended for applications such as premium quality consumer goods packaging and point of sale displays – where high visual impact and differentiation are key. The product also stands out with exceptional strength and versatility.

Demand for the product has continued to grow, due to its outstanding characteristics for print quality and finishing. Now, volume availability will be increased month by month to support the expected growth of customers, and to satisfy large requirements in the corrugated board business.
