Koehler Paper, part of the Koehler Group, in collaboration with Wimbée, a French manufacturer of cardboard packaging, has created the first cap for aerosol cans made of 100% cardboard and paper. This innovative cap was produced for Heritage, an industrial customer that, among other things, markets furniture care products under the brand name O’Cedar.
WIMBÉE, a French SME, with its experience in the food industry and its know-how in the field of cardboard lids, has designed, patented and produced the first all-cardboard, industrializable cap for aerosols. Solid, resistant, with a wide variety of clips, it is available in 51 mm, 63.5 mm, 45 mm and 55 mm which are the standard diameters of the vast majority of aerosols.
Is Eco-responsible (complete recyclability of the product: cap AND aerosol are recyclable)
- Is Biodegradable and therefore has less impact on the environment
- Offers an optimized communication surface of nearly 25%
- Allows rapid adaptation for promotions and other marketing actions
- Patented and made in France, FSC®
Collaboration paves the way to greener packaging
Wimbée, which has decades of experience in this area, was able to rely on the expertise of Koehler Paper during the development of the new cap. The flexible packaging paper, which impresses with its high fold-crack resistance, ideally complements the cardboard – in terms of improved printing and processing characteristics as well as reduced environmental impact.
“Koehler NexCoat® Smart is ideally suited to the challenge of creating a greener and, in particular, recyclable alternative to standard caps. It is made of renewable raw materials and can be re-used multiple times within the established paper recycling process,” explains Bettina Bastien, brand owner manager for flexible packaging paper at Koehler Paper.
