Are you looking for the most sustainable paper pouch for your products? Mespack and Mondi are joining forces to develop cutting-edge paper-based packaging solutions that combine sustainability and performance. At Mespack’s Innovation Center (MIC), we have collaboratively developed high-quality paper pouches using Mondi’s re/cycle Functional Barrier Paper 95/5 and re/cycle HiProtex Paper range on Mespack’s advanced HR230 horizontal form-fill-seal (HFFS) machine. This setup enables us to test, optimize, and bring innovative paper-based packaging solutions to market, ensuring superior product protection while significantly reducing plastic usage.
Optimizing Paper-Based Packaging with Mespack’s Expertise
Traditional plastic packaging benefits from strong and consistent heat-sealing properties, whereas paper-based solutions require specialized handling and optimization. At Mespack’s Innovation Center, we provide our partners with the tools, technology, and expertise needed to overcome these challenges. Our HR230 machine, equipped with multiple application capabilities, allows businesses to test and refine paper-based packaging solutions, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. This close collaboration between packaging materials and machinery manufacturers is essential for successfully transitioning to paper-based alternatives.
Unlocking the Potential of Paper with Mondi’s re/cycle Functional Barrier Paper
Mondi’s re/cycle FunctionalBarrier Paper 95/5 is an ideal solution for applications requiring a low water vapor barrier, making it perfect for secondary packaging. This paper structure, composed of 95% paper, is certified recyclable across Europe. Made from Mondi’s kraft paper, these pouches are already in the market for applications such as automated dishwasher tablets, proving their efficiency and viability for sustainable packaging.
High-Barrier Protection with Mondi’s re/cycle HiProtex Paper
For products that require strong protection against light, oxygen, water vapor, grease, and mineral oils, Mondi’s re/cycle HiProtex Paper range offers paper-based structures with medium to high barrier properties. With over 80% paper content, these pouches are ideal for packaging powdered drinks, dry foods, nutritional supplements, pet food, tea, liquid detergent pods, and more. Designed to be recyclable according to CEPI guidelines, this innovative packaging solution helps brands reduce plastic while maintaining superior barrier performance and efficiency on existing Mespack packaging machines.
