Smurfit Kappa’s Performance Packaging technology sets new industry standard

Smurfit Kappa has received the highest seal of approval for its performance packaging technology from a leading European research institution.

The pioneering technology, which Smurfit Kappa invented in 2001, has been endorsed by the  Papiertechnische Stiftung (PTS) research and service institute in Germany setting a new industry standard.

PTS assists companies with the development and use of fibre-based materials. The PTS validation means that Smurfit Kappa’s test prototcols is now published as an official Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN) norm leading to a more scalable and credible approach for corrugated packaging users.

Performance packaging technology analyses the effectiveness of packages and comes up with the optimum specifications to ensure fit for purpose packaging solutions.

The technology has had a transformative effect on the industry, changed how paper is developed and how board and packaging are designed.

Millions of rigorous tests are run from the company’s ISTA-certified laboratory annually using insights from the aeronautical industry to produce optimised, risk-free packaging solutions. Ongoing technological advances are regularly added to Smurfit Kappa’s performance packaging to ensure that customers have the most effective, state-of-the-art and reliable way to optimise their packaging portfolio.
