Mayr Melnhof Karton and Foli Collaborate to Optimize Corrugated Cardboard Sheeting and Printing Performance

Mayr Melnhof Karton’s MM Board & Paper and Mexico’s leading packaging converter Foli ES recently joined forces to improve corrugated cardboard sheeting and printing processes. In June, MM Technical Product Service Manager Michael Zelingr worked closely with Foli’s in-house team to fine-tune equipment settings and materials, focusing on eliminating surface marks during sheeting and preventing delamination in offset printing. The collaboration resulted in a decurling process maintaining cardboard’s mechanical strength and optimized ink mixtures with ideal rubber blanket conditions for enhanced printing quality. Additionally, the partnership reviewed lamination specifications for MM’s MCM recycled cartonboard to improve laminated packaging. These proactive, hands-on efforts by both companies have driven significant efficiency gains and packaging quality improvements for customers in Mexico and beyond.
