Chesapeake Goes 3-D

Chesapeake (Bucks, United Kingdom) is offering its customers in healthcare and other sectors a paperboard concept that can provide a 3-D quality to any package. Impressions is formed by using a low-energy process for forming a paperboard material into distinctive shapes.

This exciting development can help promote a brand through representations of tactile bubbles on a tube to replicating the distinctive shape of a bottle or jar. Impressions can also be formed into a pod to hold a liquid or paste, offering a more environmentally responsible alternative to plastic packaging.

Carol Hammond, Head of R&D at Chesapeake, said in a press release: "Our design and technical team have worked extensively on this joint development project to perfect a processing route for the material and design products for market. We believe Impressions offers brand owners and manufacturers a wide range of marketing opportunities to differentiate their brands. It provides a tactile quality that is so positive you feel compelled to touch the pack."

Chesapeake has a lead supplier agreement to exclusively offer Impressions to its customers.
