We’re the Original Kemi™ Liner
Kemi™ liners, Metsä Board’s premium white top kraftliners, have played a significant role in the evolution of corrugated packaging in the Americas. Known for their superior printing surface and high performance, Kemi™ liners are a coated white top kraftliner that revolutionized the corrugated packaging industry by combining performance with visual branding. Kemi™ liners, then known as Kemiart, were launched in the American market in 1991. Innovation continued introducing double coated white kraftliner in 2011. Most recently, in 2023, the Kemi mill underwent further developments to increase its capacity to 465,000 tons, while enhancing energy and water efficiency. At 465,000 tons, our facility is now the world’s largest production plant for coated white-top kraftliner.
