Cap for aerosol cans made of 100% cardboard and paper

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 Héritage, an industrial customer that, among other things, markets furniture care products under the brand name O'Cedar. Thanks to its excellent laminating, shaping and printing properties, the flexible packaging paper "Koehler NexCoat® Smart" is ideally suited for the surface of the cap. The cap is available in standard diameters of 51 mm and 63.5 mm. Cap sizes with diameters of 45 mm und 55 mm are in the works. 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.
