Smurfit is re-launching its Gemini corrugated board, to capitalise on growing customer demand for additional strength and performance without the increased bulk of a double wall board.

Gemini is a single wall board with a twin-ply fluted centre, making it super-strong. This translates to savings in storage space and freight costs as well as reduced manufacturing costs.

Andy Micklewright, sales director at Smurfit South West, said: 'Customers all over the UK are benefiting from the cost savings they can make using Gemini board. You can imagine the savings to be made in storage and transport, for example, when you can stack 250 Gemini flat packs in the same height as a stack of 180 BC flute flat packs.' Gemini is only manufactured by Smurfit's Weston-super-Mare plant and is ideal for produce trays, meat packs, flower trays and packaging for any fragile or high value product.
