PaperFeel™ Takes The Biscuit
Harrier’s synthetic paper – PaperFeel™ - has
found its latest and newest home in a very special box
of biscuits – the new Carr’s selection from
McVities. McVities technical manager, Ches Bhola, was
looking for a different material for the menu sheet in
the box, one that had flatness, printability,
durability and grease resistance. PaperFeel™ met the
brief in full.
Close co-operation between Kingsway Printers –
McVities supplier – and Harrier proved that
PaperFeel™ could run on Kingsway’s flexo presses
with water based inks to achieve the desired result.
“PaperFeel™ is and does what it says – it
performs like paper” said Mike Lamb, product
development manager at Kingsway. “We think this is a
first for synthetics with water-based inks”.
“The next stage in the project is to explore
lamination of PaperFeel™ to a cushion material to
replace the glassine insert as well and we are already
well advanced on this” said Geoff Southwell,
Technical Director of Harrier.
