Verso Introduces Lightweight Natural Kraft Machine Glazed Papers
Verso Corporation, a producer of flexible packaging, technical, and label and converting papers, announces the introduction of its NK Series, a family of lightweight, machine-glazed natural kraft papers manufactured using unbleached virgin fiber. The NK Series will be produced at Verso's Androscoggin Mill in Jay, ME, with an initial focus on foodservice and flexible packaging applications such as quick service restaurant and concession bags, sandwich wraps, pouches, microwave popcorn bags, and specialty tape and waxing base.
"Market demand continues to grow for unbleached fiber papers as more and more consumer brands incorporate a natural look and feel into their product packaging and foodservice papers," says Ed Buehler, Verso vice president of business development, specialty. "Lightweight natural kraft papers are the latest addition to Verso's industry leading portfolio of top-performing American-made specialty papers, all of which are backed by the same exceptional level of service that printers and converters have come to trust from Verso."
