New N.Z.F.P. product
New Zealand Forest Products, Ltd, reports that a trial run of a board suitable for packaging liquids, had been made at the company’s Kinleith mills. The fluid packaging board has an export potential of around 20,000 tonnes a year, particularly in Australia where it is widely used as a container for milk, and other beverages. Making this board would involve quite expensive modifications to the com-
pany’s largest paper machine, and that was not a move N.Z.F.P. would contemplate without reasonable [certainty of being comI petitive with northern hemisphere manuf icturers. i Until recently, all fluid 'packaging board in Australia :was imported — mostly from the United States — in “coated” form, but with Australian converters installing their own coating equipment, the requirement is now for uncoated board.
