Koehler Paper Introduces Sustainable Blue4est® Pro Label

Koehler Paper Expands Sustainable Blue4est® Thermal Paper Range: In addition to the sustainable Blue4est® POS till receipt, the Blue4est® Pro paper is now available for labels.

The new product Blue4est® Pro of the Thermal Paper division is a paper-based label material that is also known as facestock. It is being used for the new generation of environmentally friendly labels because it is produced without chemical developers. This means that it can be disposed of as wastepaper and is also approved for direct contact with food. As with the Blue4est® POS till receipt, the Blue4est® Pro self-adhesive label can be instantly recognized by consumers as environmentally friendly by its blue color.

World’s unique thermal adhesive material without chemical developers
The partnership between Koehler Paper and HERMA has given rise to the world’s first, and as yet only, thermal adhesive material without chemical developers. This is yet another example of outstanding development work by the Koehler Innovation & Technology division of the Koehler Group at the headquarters in Oberkirch, Germany. It is some years ago now that Koehler Paper, the world market leader in the field of thermal paper, first invested in the development of an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional thermal paper: the bluish Blue4est® POS till receipt paper. “We are pleased to now be expanding our environmentally friendly Blue4est® product portfolio with Blue4est® Pro for self-adhesive labels. This brings us one step closer to our vision of a “Blue Market,” a supermarket that only uses environmentally friendly blue till receipts and labels,” says Sebastian Früh, Deputy Director Thermal Paper Division at Koehler Paper. The labels can initially be used for fruit and vegetable scales. Further applications will follow soon.

Blue4est® Pro has additional protective layer
Blue4est® Pro is based on the same Blue4est® principle as the blue till receipt from Koehler Paper. With Blue4est®, the text is not produced through a chemical reaction to heat but instead it uses a purely physical reaction. An opaque functional layer on the paper becomes transparent when subjected to heat, which results in the black layer below becoming visible. Moreover, Blue4est® Pro features an additional layer that protects the paper from mechanical damage for use as a self-adhesive label.

Interfor Announces Temporary Production Curtailments in Q4’22

Interfor Corporation announced plans to reduce its lumber production output in the fourth quarter of 2022 by approximately 200 million board feet, or 17% of quarterly capacity, as current economic conditions and market uncertainty have led to reduced lumber demand. This temporary reduction in output is expected to be spread across each of the Company’s operating regions, primarily timed around U.S. Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday periods, and used to accelerate ongoing capital and maintenance projects. The Company’s lumber inventories are currently within normal volume parameters, and these plans are expected to maintain the balance between production and market demand through the remainder of 2022. The Company currently expects to resume its normal operating schedule in January 2023, but will closely monitor market conditions and adjust its production plans accordingly.
