The company has teamed up with API Laminates of Stockport to launch the grade, which is a smooth, high-gloss metallised one-side coated board.

It is a combination of Trucard Ice and API's environmentally friendly metallised film, which the company said is "renewable, sustainable, recyclable and compostable".  

Tullis Russell marketing director Malcolm Sinclair said: "We are very excited about this joint venture with API Laminates and about introducing such a high-quality and entirely novel product to the luxury packaging market."

The grade is also FSC accredited and made from 100% elemental chlorine-free pulps.
