Less Weight, More Innovation

MWV Promina® paperboards are the next generation of SBS engineered to improve stiffness-to-weight ratios, with a reduced basis weight of up to seven percent when compared to our legendary Printkote® Tobacco paperboards. It’s a more sustainable solution that can improve converting performance and help your brand stand out in the marketplace.

Designed with tobacco packaging in mind, Promina is engineered for optimal runnability in the most demanding, high-speed print and packaging processes. Its improved curl resistance increases throughput, creating operational efficiencies such as less downtime and less waste.

Less Weight, More Sustainable

Sustainability was fundamental to the development of Promina. By reducing the basis weight, we reduce the impact that paperboard manufacturing has on raw materials and other natural resource use when compared to Printkote Tobacco.

More efficient manufacturing and less product weight can help reduce environmental impact and energy needs, especially those related to transportation. Opportunities like these highlight MWV's lifecycle approach to sustainable packaging.

Promina paperboards create the perfect canvas to boost brand visibility. The MWV Promina family is designed with distinct performance characteristics to meet a range of tobacco packaging needs.
