The invention relates to a heat-sealable packaging material comprising: a paperboard substrate comprising a first side and a second side, a first coating layer on the first side, a first barrier coating layer on the first coating layer, which first barrier coating layer comprises pigments, a second coating layer on the second side, and a second barrier coating layer on the second coating layer, which second barrier coating layer comprises pigments, wherein the coating layers and the barrier coating layers comprise a latex or a water-soluble polymer, wherein the first coating layer and the second coating layer are free of pigments, wherein the first barrier coating layer and the second barrier coating layer comprise pigments in an amount in a range from >40 wt % to <70 wt %, based on the dry solid content of the respective layer, and wherein the grammage of each of the first and second coating layer and of the first and second barrier coating layer is in a range from >1 g/m2 to <10 g/m2. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a respective packaging material and a packaging derived therefrom.

Repulpable packaging material

The present invention discloses a paperboard for packaging of liquid and frozen food, comprising a dispersion coating as the only barrier layer on its outside/print side. It has surprisingly been found that a dispersion coating comprising latex and pigment applied on the outside/print side of a paperboard for liquid and/or frozen food may serve as the only barrier against moisture arising from condensation.

Paperboard for packaging of liquid and/or frozen food

The invention relates to a packaging material comprising: a paperboard substrate comprising a first and a second side, at least one barrier layer applied on the first side of the substrate, the barrier layer comprising a water-soluble polymer selected from the group of polyvinyl alcohol, a copolymer of ethylene and polyvinyl alcohol, starch, carboxymethylcellulose and combinations thereof in an amount of at least 50 weight %, based on the dry weight of the barrier layer, an extrusion coated layer of a polyolefin on the barrier layer, and at least one dispersion barrier layer applied on the second side of the substrate, which at least one dispersion barrier layer forms a printing surface of the packaging material. The invention further relates to a method of manufacturing a respective packaging material.
