Collection: Paper Products

Paper based packaging materials are made from renewable sources, including paper and cardboard. Similar to wood, the material can be sourced from FSC®-certified providers (we source from responsible suppliers who are FSC certified). The benefits of using materials that are FSC® certified provide you with confidence you are using paper materials from a responsible source; this is because the FSC® promotes the responsible management of the world’s forests.

In fact, paper based packaging materials for food can include barrier films which are immensely important in the overall success of the packaging as the films can maximize and preserve the food.

Our EcoPack paper food packaging solution is a revolutionary one side coated seal and moisture barrier FSC® certified paper that provides a sustainable, translucent paper-based alternative to avoidable plastic packaging. The OTR for this product is 1.39, and the MVTR is 54.4, which provides a great balance and appropriate characteristics for paper food packaging. This base paper of EcoPack is also certified by TÜV Austria for home composting, industrial composting, and biodegradable performance, making it the perfect solution.

Choosing paper based packaging materials presents you with a variety of benefits. First of all, this is environmentally friendly as the paper is biodegradable and can be recycled up to 6-7 times before paper fibres break down too much to be turned into paper. Coupling this benefit with the fact that paper material is made from recycled post-consumer content highlights the environmental benefits of using paper packaging over other materials that are harmful to the environment, such as single-use plastics.

As previously mentioned, paper can be used in various forms and is more durable than some businesses realise. Paper-based food packaging can be used in a variety of formats:

• Wrapping paper

• Sandwich packs or translucent windows on sandwich packs

• Horizontal and vertical flow wraps e.g., for sweets or coffee

• Laminated pouches e.g., for protein powders

• Cardboard boxes

• Paper bags

• Milk cartons

Paper food packaging also presents great opportunities from a print and design perspective, allowing products to standout on shelf, as paper materials can also include an optimised digital top coat which provides incredible printability on HP printers.
