Our products
Printability researchPrintability research
Product category: Research and development
Predict and measure print quality
Print quality is predictable. To achieve this, one must equip with right tools that measure the relevant materials properties. Through the years, we have developed unique expertise, knowledge and tools, on printability. This includes topography, absorption, compressibility and optics of the substrates and printing dynamics, applicable to conventional and digital printing techniques on board and corrugated materials.
Example of important aspects of print quality: Mottling, dot and line quality, stripiness, uncovered areas.
Product category: Research and development
Measure surface roughness to predict print quality using OptiTopo
The unique OptiTopo technique used for print prediction quickly reveals the correlation between paper surface and print defects such as uncovered area or missing dots. You can use it in your own lab
Product category: Research and development
Measure mottle
The easy to use and well-known STFI-Mottling Expert software is today used all over the world in the paper and paperboard industry to quantify the mottle on printed products as well as white-top mottle on unprinted paperboard.
You can buy it and use it in your own lab together with a desktop scanner.

Paper mechanics
The mechanical properties of paper materials are of great importance for their function during converting and use of the final products. More effective production, less waste, and optimal material use require good mechanical properties.
Within paper mechanics, we aim at identifying the relevant properties of paper materials, developing test methods to quantify these properties, and predict their effects in different applications. We combine our expertise in material mechanics and structural mechanics with knowledge on processes and products that are specific for paper materials and products to investigate and propose solutions to problems in the paper and packaging industry. We work mainly with packaging materials, like paperboard and corrugated board, where the mechanical properties are crucial for the functionality.
Beyond standard measurements like tensile testing and SCT, we offer testing with methods that we have developed or improved. The following are some examples:

- Tensile and compression testing in the thickness direction of the paper or paperboard
- Measurements of transversal shear
- Determination of shear strength profiles through the thickness of paperboard
- Measurements of cohesive fracture properties
- Creep testing in tension and compression
- Hygroexpansion measurements using a method that does not add load to the test specimen

Research educations
We have strong commitments in research educations in form of PhD and Master-thesis projects. In present, we have two PhD projects in Printing Dynamics and Paper Mechanics respectively and two Master thesis projects in these fields:
Printing dynamics
PhD project: Printing dynamics of flexography – forced ink absorption
Master thesis project: Visualisation of flexographic printing processes
Paper Mechanics
PhD project: On the relation between paperboard properties and packaging performance
Moisture reduces the mechanical properties of a paperboard and consequently reduces the performance of the package. The relation between moisture and different mechanical properties on a continuum material level is investigated, and then these relations are applied on the packaging design level through experimental testing and simulations.
Master thesis project: Effect of embossing geometry on the mechanical performance of low density paper
The thesis is aimed at understanding, through simulation, the effect of various embossing geometry parameters like depth, dot density, edge length, patterns etc. on the mechanical performance of embossed low density paper like tissue paper.

Product category: Certification, testing and standardization
Optical reference standards (IR3)
Optical reference standards - why? To keep your equipment properly calibrated in order to get reliable measurement results. This applies to both optical properties of fluorescent and non-fluorescent pulp and paper products as well as other materials.
Product category: Certification, testing and standardization
Product Safety analyses of food contact materials
By using our advanced analysis equipment, we can produce proof that your material meets the requirements of Food Contact Material regulations. We offer counseling, a wide range of analyses, e.g. migration to food simulants, analytical packages for paper and board, microbiological analyses, set off/printing inks and mineral oils, as well as customized analyses and certification of paper and board.
About us
Company portrait
RISE is an independent, state-owned research institute. As an innovation partner for every part of society, we help develop technologies, products, services and processes that contribute to a sustainable world and a competitive business community. We do this in collaboration with and on behalf of companies, academia and the public sector. We also have a special focus on supporting small and medium-sized enterprises in their innovation processes.
At RISE, paper, board, ink and printing press producers can come together with converters and printers within the context of our research projects. We carry out research and development directly alongside industrial application.
