Oct. 6, 2025 - Rayonier Advanced Materials Inc. (NYSE: RYAM) announced the introduction of its Enhanced Freezer Application for folding carton board, purpose-built to meet the packaging needs of the frozen food sector.
Developed at RYAM's Temiscaming facility, this advancement equips Kallima's folding grade with the durability and performance required for cold-chain distribution. Engineered to withstand temperatures as low as -18°C (0°F), it maintains structural integrity and resists delamination in freezer conditions. Its natural resistance to moisture and condensation — without coatings or plastic extrusion — delivers cost efficiency, ease of converting, and sustainability benefits.
