Mondi has created a secondary paper packaging solution for wrapping bundles of food and drinks, replacing plastic shrink film that has been the industry standard.
The new paper solution, TrayWrap, is made with Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap and is being used by a coffee brand to secure 12 coffee packages for transportation. The paper wrap holds the coffee packs tightly in place with 4–6 adhesive dots on the bottom side of the existing corrugated tray. Pre-punched folding points are designed to ensure stability on each open side, meaning that the products can be seen, stacked, transported and easily unpacked for sale.
Advantage StretchWrap is 100% kraft paper made from renewable resources. It has no coating, is fully recyclable and easy to dispose of in paper recycling streams. The solution has a unique combination of mechanical properties. While having a high strength and good puncture resistance, it exhibits good stretchability, making this solution also suitable for grouped packaging applications.
By working closely with Meurer, Mondi has been able to ensure that existing machinery can be adapted to accommodate this new solution: the technology used is similar to the one used for film technology, so it is easy for food and drink producers to modify existing processes, as opposed to investing in new machines.
Meurer’s latest Paper Hood Machine (PHM) uses an inline paper technology that has higher resistance against mechanical stress, being able to efficiently handle a wide range of paper qualities including Mondi’s Advantage StretchWrap, as well as various tray formats.
