Formakote™ Designed for Performance. Chosen for Responsibility.

WML’s Formakote™ range is more than just high-quality cartonboard, it’s a smart environmental choice for packaging across food, beverage, and FMCG markets. Whether you’re looking to deliver high-impact print or meet the strictest food safety standards, Formakote™ delivers on performance without compromising on sustainability.

Virgin Fibre. No PFAS. Just Quality.

All Formakote™ boards are produced from 100% virgin fibres, delivering strength, consistency, and full traceability. Several key grades including Solaire, Natura, White GR, Radiance, Radiance LL, Spectra, and Spectra Natural are also free from optical brightening agents (OBA’s).

WML takes its commitment to responsible packaging even further. Across the Formakote™ range, you’ll find options free from PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), chemicals used for water and grease resistance but known to persist in the environment and raise health concerns. By choosing our PFAS-free boards, brand owners can better align with growing regulatory and consumer expectations. Choose performance with purpose.

Certified Safe for Food Contact

WML’s food-contact approved Formakote™ products meet a broad range of international safety regulations, including:

  • EC 1935/2004 (European Union)
  • US FDA CFR Title 21, Part 176.170 and 176.180
  • German BfR Recommendation XXXVI
  • China GB 4806.1 and 4806.8

This global compliance gives packaging manufacturers and brand owners confidence that Formakote™ is a safe and trusted choice for food-related applications.
