Graphic Packaging International Launches PaceSetter Rainier Atlanta, Georgia based Graphic Packaging International has announced the launch of an innovation in coated re- cycled paperboard (CRB): PaceSetter Rainier, named after Mount Rainier, known for its pristine snow-capped summit. The new paperboard offers many of the characteristics of solid bleached sulfate (SBS) in combination with recy- cled content. With brightness and whiteness that exceeds that of traditional CRB, it can compete directly with SBS and folding box board (FBB). In addition, it provides im- proved surface smoothness for enhanced printability and tactile performance for truly stand-out printed packaging.

Leveraging industry-leading CRB investments totalling an estimated $1.7 billion combined for projects in Kalam- azoo, Michigan and Waco, Texas, Graphic Packaging is boosting capacity and technical capability in CRB produc- tion to provide more customers, and ultimately consum- ers, with fiber-based packaging with recycled content, enabling them to contribute to a more circular economy. “This is a breakthrough for the fiber-based packaging industry and one we know is important for our custom- ers and consumers,” said Michael Weinhold, senior vice president, paperboard sales, at Graphic Packaging said. “According to recent research by the Boston Consulting Group, 78 percent of consumers said they are likely to purchase a product based on a ‘made with recycled con- tent’ claim, and 64 percent said it was important for pack- aging to contain recycled content. Our customers have been asking for a premium paperboard solution that offers a bright, white, and smooth printing surface that also in- cludes recycled content to help support their packaging sustainability goals.” The new paperboard grade is initially available in 12pt to 18pt calipers and is ideal for a wide range of packaging applications including healthcare, beauty and more.
