Possible applications for the paper
Koehler’s sustainable paper packaging innovation offers various possibilities for applications in the food and confectionery industry.
Possible applications are for example: tea bag wrapping paper, flexible multipacks for sweets and confectionery, stickpacks and sachets for salt or sugar and in addition also pasta.
Benefits of sustainable paper packaging
The demand for innovative, sustainable packaging solutions increased significantly in 2019. Certainly, paper behaves different to plastic, however numerous tests on packaging machines have already shown that the change is possible and stipulated by consumers:
“We are seeing brands making efforts towards putting sustainable solutions on the market. This is very much in line with our own developments. We have adapted to this extremely dynamic market effect and have made implementing it on the new machine a priority.”
