In the past, tracing paper was required in the graphics field. By contrast, today there are many varied uses for paper in the fields of graphics and printing. These range from sophisticated books, elaborate calendars to brochures and flyers to multi-piece mailings. Not to forget the countless printed materials, special productions, creatively designed greetings cards and envelopes. The glama brand represents, in Reflex’s view, an ideal addition to its own range of tracing papers. Reflex has ample capacity in the PM4 paper making machine for graphic tracing paper to cover orders for the graphics market.

The Micro-Pack business segments opens up additional sales areas for the paper manufacturer. Reflex is now able to also offer paper products for use in the food industry – equipped with the internationally required barriers against mineral oils or fragrances – made from pure, fibre-based raw materials. The barrier effect is created exclusively by a natural compression, as it is known in nanocellulose. No chemical aids such as plastics, aluminium or fluorine are used to achieve the high-quality properties of the barrier. The environmentally-friendly, biodegradable and recyclable natural product – Micro-Pack- is especially well suited as packaging material for dry and greasy foodstuffs thanks to its neutral taste and scent. Cosmetics in particular retain their classic fragrances thanks to Micro-Packs extreme gas-tight protection. Production takes place on one of three paper machines in the Reflex plant.

Schoellershammer is preparing a new paper machine for the end of 2016. In the future, the paper manufacturer will be concentrating exclusively on the production of packaging paper from 100% old paper. “It’s a great concern of Schoellershammer’s that we are able to offer our customer a new point of contact for the business segments we have taken on. Good experiences within the business relationship with the paper manufacturer Reflex were as crucial as their technical conditions and the recognised competence in production of tracing paper when it came to taking on the two business segments. With Reflex, the continuity of consistent, high quality and the continuation of the strategy and development of Micro-Pack are secured,” claims Bernd Scholbrock, head of Schoellershammer, evaluating the decisions taken within his company.

The distribution in both product areas – glama and Micro-Pack – concentrates primarily on the European market, but also focuses on the international market. Reflex distinguishes itself by being a reliable and strategically-orientated, peerless supplier.
