When you recommend a paper for pharmaceutical packaging, you need to trust both how it performs in production and the value it brings to your customers. Billerud PharmaKraftTM combines strength and stability with a smooth surface to support predictable converting and sharp print results. It’s manufactured under stringent purity controls, providing a clean and reliable foundation for pharmaceutical packaging. The paper is also recyclable, made from renewable sources and produced in an energy-efficient mill, giving you a paper that’s easy to work with and easy to stand behind.

Billerud keeps advancing its healthcare product portfolio. This time, we’re introducing PharmaKraftTM – a high-performing paper for pharmaceutical applications. With strength, stability and a smooth surface, PharmaKraft supports predictable converting and sharp print results in demanding pharmaceutical packaging. The paper is manufactured under stringent purity controls. It’s also recyclable, made from renewable sources and produced in an energy-efficient mill.

Pharmaceutical and healthcare brand owners are working hard to lower their Scope 3 emissions. As a converter, the material you recommend can play an important role in that conversation. Billerud PharmaKraftTM is made from fresh fibers sourced from responsibly managed forests. It’s recyclable, made from renewable sources and produced in an energy-efficient mill with integrated pulp production and in-house energy generation. In other words: a high-performing paper for pharmaceutical applications with a clear sustainability argument for customers looking to reduce the carbon footprint of their packaging.

How much weight can you take out of a tray without sacrificing performance? In this fruit tray optimization, a recycled EB board was replaced with a fresh-fiber C board using NEW Billerud Flute®. The redesigned tray was 25% lighter while maintaining BCT at 50% RH – and improving BCT at 90% RH as well as BCT10 at 90% RH under constant load over 10 days. The redesign also reduced GWP by 35%, based on 1,000,000 trays. See what lightweighting with NEW Billerud Flute® could do for your packaging.

Use less material. Meet more demands. That’s the short version of a dilemma facing packaging today. Reduce weight, yes. But not at the expense of protection, production efficiency or performance along the way. When packaging gets lighter, every gram left has a bigger job to do. Cut too far, and the gains can quickly turn into environmental and financial losses from damaged products, wasted food or packaging failure. This changes the role of material choice. The question is no longer simply how much can be removed, but how much performance can be built into what remains. Mastering Minimalism is one of six key themes in Billerud’s recently launched Packaging Tomorrow report, looking at the trends shaping the future of better packaging.

Strength in the paper is one thing. Knowing how to put it to work is another. NEW Billerud Flute® gives you the best of both worlds: high-strength fluting backed by strong know-how in corrugated packaging. Together, they let you design packaging for tough, real-life supply chain conditions while reducing material use, packaging weight and climate impact.
