Retail-ready tray solutions

The visual appearance of packaging is vital in creating the first impression, considering that consumers can take as little as three seconds to choose which product they want. When looking for their preferred brand, the colours and graphics on packaging must match expectations. Special effects can also play an important role, especially in luxury packaging.

Our white kraftliners, and folding boxboards used as liners, perform well for shelf-ready packs. They are lightweight but strong, which helps to protect the product, keep its shape and help also reduce food waste.

Metsä Board’s paperboards use fresh fibres from wood grown in sustainably managed northern forests. The fibres are of known origin, and all the raw materials used in our manufacturing processes can be traced to source.
