Sustainability
Sustainable folding box board
Incada is a folding box board made at Holmen's mill in Workington, UK, from fresh fibres of known and traceable origin. Pulp production is integrated with the paperboard mill, which holds chain-of-custody certifications and is largely self-sufficient in renewable thermal and electrical energy. Incada is stiff and lightweight with a higher yield than solid bleached boards and recycled products, which reduces fibre consumption and transportation weight.
Customer stories
Technical data
To optimise its performance, Incada has specific fibre compositions in each layer of the construction. The outer layers consist of bleached chemical sulphate pulp finished with machine glazing, and the application of a double coating provides the foundation for a supremely smooth surface. The middle layers consist of mechanically separated fibres (TMP pulp), which provide high bulk and stiffness. The fibres in the different layers are treated differently to tailor the paperboard for its intended use. Incada's smooth surface and fast ink setting properties support high productivity in printing and foil applications. Creasing and embossing can also be performed efficiently. Incada can be printed using offset-litho, gravure, flexo, screen and digital printing.

Enhancements
All our Incada products can be combined with different barriers and coatings to add protection, strength, and design opportunities to your packaging.
Polyethylene (PE)
Polyethylene (PE) coated paperboard is suitable for disposable cups or packaging for frozen foods, meat products, and chocolate. The PE barrier provides a simple yet efficient way to heat-seal end products.
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)
Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) barriers provide good sealability and act as an excellent oxygen and fat barrier. They are also extremely temperature-resistant and highly suitable for applications such as PET-coated dual-ovenable food trays.
Bio-E
Our Bio E barrier is based on renewable resources and adapted for organic recovery through composting or anaerobic digestion. The material is suitable for applications where biodegradability is desired.
Metalprint
Metalprint has exceptional surface smoothness and offers excellent barrier properties. It is typically used for premium packaging applications where decorative printing is a must.
Metalprint Digital
Metalprint Digital is metallised PET laminated paperboard, especially developed and certified for printing without pre-treatment in the HP Indigo 4-series.
Alubarrier
Alubarrier is the densest barrier in our portfolio and is commonly used for sensitive products like crisps, ice cream and cereals. Extrusion-laminating the aluminium foil makes the paperboard impermeable to light, moisture, flavours, and gases.
