The Amcor, G. Mondini, and Metsa Spring collaboration shows that paperising fresh food trays is not just a tray-material change. Barrier film, sealing equipment, cold-chain validation, and recyclability all have to be verified together.
Paper-based high-barrier materials such as Mondi Avara, FunctionalBarrier Paper Ultimate, and HiProtex Paper are scaling fast as replacements for multilayer laminates. This post organizes the spec questions a brand buyer should put to suppliers at the purchase-order stage, across barrier grade, food contact, OPRL and recyclability, and line compatibility.
Bel Group’s Babybel paper packaging transition shows that paperisation is not a simple material swap; it requires food safety, line compatibility, and recyclability to be verified together. This post organizes the items procurement and development teams should check when reviewing food-contact paper packaging.
One of the fastest ways to take pressure off freight costs - faster than renegotiating export unit prices - is to improve container loading efficiency. This post organizes, from a field-measurement perspective, how corrugated boxes, honeycomb paper boards, and paper pallets can be combined within a single SKU to use the volume and weight limits of a 40ft container more effectively.
Honeycomb paperboard is one of the few paper-based structures that can stand in for EPS and PE foam in industrial cushioning. It is strong in planar compression but limited under point loads, humidity, and repeated impact. This guide outlines where honeycomb works as a foam alternative in 2026, and where exporters should still use other paper-based solutions.
Drawing on Fraunhofer’s PAPURE project and IOM3 reporting, this post organizes what laser-treating paper surfaces and bonding them under heat and pressure could mean for paper-packaging recyclability. It also walks through the paper conditions, seal strength, throughput, quality control, and pre-commercialization checks that have to be verified.
Saying a package is recyclable is no longer enough. Drawing on the AI-based recycling sortation data case between Greyparrot and Kenvue, this post organizes how labels, pumps, color, and material combinations affect actual recovery rates, and how to translate that into packaging specs and EPR documentation.
Industrial paper cores and paper tubes used to wind film, fabric, paper, and label stock are not simple cylindrical packaging; they are load-bearing components supporting production, storage, and transport. This post explains how to organize a purchase specification around inner diameter, outer diameter, wall thickness, length, compression strength, moisture conditions, edge reinforcement, and test documentation.
A practical B2B buyer’s guide to the specifications, thickness, strength, placement, stacking method, moisture exposure, and friction conditions to check when using paper flat boards as support panels for product protection.
A practical guide for B2B buyers comparing paper pallets with wood and plastic pallets, including advantages, limits, load capacity, quarantine, recycling, and storage conditions for export packaging decisions.
