SCALDERHURST LTD – LAUNCHES NEW PACKAGING & BOARD DIVISION.
28 OCTOBER 2024
For 51years, Scalderhurst had been renown trade-wide for its conversion, paper merchanting and agency services. Adding to and complementing this now is the launch of its new Packaging & Board Division.
With initial sheet stocks of hard sized Scalder GC1 High Bulk & GC2 arriving at their Kent-based warehouse in Oct, Scalderhurst is ready to supply your orders for this prime, fully guaranteed range of folding boxboard. Scalder GC1 & GC2 is a triple-coated white back carton board which comes PEFC certified as standard. Available now from UK stock and mill makings, ranging from 215gsm – 380gsm (starting from 200gsm/330µ in GC1) Scalderhurst also plan to bring in cutter reels for fast, in-house conversion of bespoke sizes required quickly – effectively providing the assurance of local, fast and ongoing supplies.
Scalder GC1 & GC2 are highly versatile and perfect for a wide range of applications including blister packs, cosmetics, dry food, electronics, healthcare, pharmaceutical, premium gift boxes (GC1), chocolate & confectionery, food/food services and graphic applications. Both grades are suitable for production on offset, flexo and digital printing. With many applications in the food and food services industry, you can rely on ISEGA BfR Recommendation XXXVI Food Contact Accreditation including for fatty foods for both products.
Scalderhurst Trading Director Joe Fowler commented: “Our newly created Packaging & Board Division is as much in response to what our customers have been asking for as it is about seizing new growth opportunities in a dynamic sector of the printing and conversion industry whilst, at the same time, future-proofing our own business. We are delighted that St John Harvey, a veteran of the paper trade, with over 30 years’ experience at mill, merchant, convertor, printer and agency levels has joined us earlier this summer and worked tirelessly to prepare the ground for this new initiative”.
