MMK Cartonboard can block grease
Grease Barrier
Food packaging in store shelves has to be decorative and appetizing.
It should symbolise quality and good taste. Without annoying grease spots and discolourations! Cartonboard with a grease barrier makes for an ideal presentation.
Good to know
Depending on how greasy the packaged product is, the fat-repellent protection is applied either only to the reverse side of the cartonboard or also to the additional layers. The value defines the degree of grease repellence and ranges between 1 (weak) and 12 (strong). The rating results from the intensity of the cartonboard treatment. MM Karton produces grease qualities with grease barriers up to a value of 11. The qualities with grease barrier are of course used in packaging with direct food contact. They are also suitable for greasy non-food applications.
