Editorial: Design considerations for developing high-quality flexible packaging laminates, TAPPI Journal July 2025

ABSTRACT: The global flexible packaging industry has constantly evolved by developing new materials, film design, polymer processing techniques, and machinery to overcome challenges posed by consumer demands, regulation, and societal pressure. While achieving superior quality and improved mechanical film attributes has always been the cornerstone for new technical developments in this industry, the end-of life shortcoming for most plastic films has driven the value chain to strive harder to design and develop sustainable packaging structures.

Editorial: Meeting highlights challenges and opportunities with lignin valorization and biobased products, TAPPI Journal May 2025

ABSTRACT: Earlier this year, around 30 participants gathered for a virtual meeting to discuss the challenges and potential opportunities existing in the lignin research community. Moderated by Jan Bottiglieri, editor of TAPPI’s Paper360° Magazine, the meeting included experts from industry, academia, research organizations, and manufacturing consortia. Below are some of the key points of discussion, central among which was the need for more collaboration within the lignin research community.

Designing paper and board barrier constructions for food contact applications, TAPPI Journal November 2025

ABSTRACT: This study examines the effect of multiple factors on barrier performance for purpose-built paper and paperboard constructions produced on an industrial pilot coater machine. Impacts from precoat latex chemistry, application method (flooded nip with bevel blade, jet with bevel blade, and pre-metered film coater, laboratory rod drawdown) and precoating calendering were studied in relation to resulting porosity, roughness, and barrier (liquid water, moisture, and oil). Results reveal a complex interaction between controllable and uncontrollable factors, offering insight for designing advanced barrier coatings on cellulosic substrates.
