Security at its Best

MeadWestvaco is tying up the loose ends on a new poly-laminated paperboard that according to Mohan Sasthav, the company's packaging segment manager, will be four to five times stronger than standard bleach board. "This product will combine poly's tear-resistant characteristics with paperboard's stiffness and printability, delivering the sharp, sturdy package retailers expect from folding cartons." He says that MeadWestvaco hopes this type of package will be an alternative to the small folding carton held within a PVC clamshell model seen today.
