Formable Solid Bleached Board

Inverform is a multi layered solid bleached board (SBB) product, entirely based on fresh fibres. Specific fibre compositions are used for the various layers in the construction to optimise performance. The outer layers are dominated by hardwood fibres to promote smoothness and printability. The middle layer consists of softwood fibres for strength, flexibility and formability.

Product description

Inverform with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) extrusion coating has been specially developed for ready-made food packaging. With its exceptional formability and product consistency Inverform + PET is very well suited for pressed and dual-ovenable trays that works both in microwave or a conventional oven for both chilled and frozen food.

The PET coating is ideal when temperature resistance is important, and it also acts as a fat and moisture barrier. The PET coating is heat sealable and works with different types of lidding materials. Black, white and transparent versions of PET coatings are available upon request.
