Grown in unyielding conditions, AvantForte is made from the strongest of fibres.

The requirements for corrugated packaging are tougher than ever. Packages must endure long transportation chains, represent brands visually and keep their contents safe. On top of that, packaging plays a crucial part in fulfilling a brand’s sustainability goals. Your and your customers’ needs have guided us: our ambition was to create a plastic-free, eco-friendly packaging material for the most demanding high-end uses.

The result? AvantForte, a premium kraftliner for your toughest needs. Superior visual appearance, purity and strength combined. With the new patent pending Tri-PlyTM technology, outstanding performance is guaranteed. Available in brown and white top.

The introduction of the new AvantForte kraftliner is part of our transformation story and a direct result of the mill conversion in Oulu, Finland. Scroll down to sign up for the newsletter and to stay tuned for more information.

10% stronger with Tri-Ply™ technology

Single and two-ply kraftliners’ top and bottom plies are typically made of chemical pulp and include some recycled fibres. AvantForte is different: it is a unique kraftliner produced from 3 layers, and they are all enforced using only 100% virgin fibers.

This advanced Tri-Ply™ technology guarantees superior compression strength, bending stiffness and humidity performance. The innovative 3-layer structure can also mitigate strength losses. It makes AvantForte 10% stronger than other existing standard kraftliners, which will allow you to use less material per each package.

AvantForte is available in Brown and WhiteTop

The new AvantForte premium kraftliner is available in two different, but equally stylish colors: brown and white top. AvantForte Brown is ideal for natural and eco-friendly brand communication, whereas the Optical Brightener Additives (OBA) free AvantForte WhiteTop is well suited for a more premium visual appearance.

Both color variations offer an extremely smooth and elegant surface which allows for easy customization and high quality printing, thus granting an altogether premium visual appearance for all your packaging. With AvantForte, quality is always guaranteed, so you can choose whichever color best suits your brand’s look and needs.
