Sappi supplements its wet-strength label paper portfolio with a new embossed version
Sappi Europe, manufacturer of speciality papers, is expanding its portfolio of wet-glue wet-strength label papers with a linen embossed version of its successful Parade Label WS label paper. Produced at Sappi’s Gratkorn mill in Austria, the new Parade Label WS Linen exhibits excellent printing and converting results – targeting applications such as returnable beverage bottles. It boasts outstanding results both in terms of performance and visual appeal. The paper’s launch at the beginning of October coincides with the completion of Sappi’s significant investment project at its Gratkorn site. Two years ago, in September 2022, Sappi announced the investment of tens of millions of euros in a state-of-the-art technical infrastructure at the site. The project was aimed at ensuring production capacities of wet-strength, alkali-resistant label papers in the future and at establishing its position as a full-range supplier of label papers over the long term.
Sappi’s Parade Label WS, a wet-strength and alkali-resistant label paper, which is now established on the market, has convinced users worldwide with its impressive printing and finishing results. With the company’s latest new product – Parade Label WS Linen – Sappi continues its success story with wet-glue label papers. This one-side double coated wet-strength paper primarily targets wet-glue label applications, such as returnable beverage bottles.
Linen embossing not only enhances the visual appearance, but also label functionality, which results in superior labelling performance due to improved separability of the labels and greatly reduced static adhesion. The paper, available in 65, 68, 70, 75 and 80 g/m2, also ensures superior washability of the labels in the bottle preparation process for reuse. This works especially well with papers which have been metallised to create eye-catching labels.

About Us
International confectionery association SWEETS GLOBAL NETWORK e. V. (SG) is an established network of over 300 member companies based in ten countries. SG is the leading communication platform for confectionery professionals in German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and beyond. Meanwhile, most companies involved in manufacturing and retailing confectionery (wholesalers, specialist retailers, importers, brokers, producers) are members. All enjoy huge benefits, such as a range of high quality services and invitations to exclusive, member only events. There are an additional 40 supporting members active in the confectionery industry supply sector.
The International Sweets Business Forum in Berlin has taken SG well beyond the traditional territory of conventional training seminars and workshops. Social events, such as the New Year Reception in Munich or the ISM WARM UP held on the eve of the ISM in Cologne now rank as must-attend fixtures in the confectionery business year.
While acknowledging the growing significance of the global information and knowledge community, SG never loses sight of what’s going on at a local level. Articles in SG-Magazin and sweets processing, the SG-Newsletter (several times a week), annual publication of the SG-Directory and worldwide contacts bear witness to the pronounced internationality of the association.
