Hyperflute is manufactured at Kemsley Mill, one of Europe’s most advanced papermaking operations. Extensive paper machine investment has resulted in a fluting that is strong and durable even in the most demanding conditions.

In fact, Hyperflute, a 100% recycled paper that has been chemically enhanced, is tough enough to replace semi-chemical flutings made partly from wood. It retains its strength when exposed to moisture, such as in deep freezes or in high humidity climates. This means it is ideal for packaging fresh produce like fruit and fish, and for heavy-duty applications like the export of high value or hazardous goods.

With Hyperflute, you can have one of the most robust fluting papers available and strong environmental credentials too!

Hyperflute has other advantages compared to semi-chemical papers, not least its price. Hyperflute can do everything semi-chem can do, but at less cost. What’s more, because it is made from high-performance recycled fibres, it runs faster on the corrugators than semi-chems, which contain shorter, more brittle virgin fibres.

So, why use semi-chemical papers when you can use Hyperflute? Its features and benefits all add up to an opportunity for you to save money and ensure high performance from your corrugator and the finished packaging.
