These aims are matched by consumer expectations, with global consumers looking for less plastic when purchasing product. Mondi&#8217;s new Hug&amp;Hold solution is therefore timely, meeting the&nbsp;<strong>sustainability needs<\/strong>&nbsp;of brands and their customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hug&amp;Hold comprises two elements that provide&nbsp;<strong>secure and safe transportation<\/strong>&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;<strong>stacking of bundles of bottled drinks<\/strong>. The first element is a&nbsp;<strong>patent-pending sleeve<\/strong>&nbsp;made of 100% kraft paper that wraps around the bottles to hold them securely. Made from Advantage SpringPack Plus, it offers high tensile strength and can withstand enough weight to strap and stabilise the bottles during transportation. The second element is a&nbsp;<strong>corrugated clip<\/strong>&nbsp;which holds the bottles around the neck. An optional integrated handle means a bundle of bottles can be carried and transported easily. Simple separation of single bottles from the pack by the consumer or retail staff adds to the convenience of the design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Hug&amp;Hold, Mondi is&nbsp;<strong>the first to manufacture and market a complete concept<\/strong>, providing a strong and stable solution that is made from renewable and fully recyclable materials, suitable for existing paper waste streams throughout Europe. The team worked with Krones, a global acting specialist in packaging automation technology, to ensure that Hug&amp;Hold can pack bottles in a fully automated process with the latest Krones\u2019 machines. Krones further offers options to upgrade its existing machinery enabling an easy switch to Hug&amp;Hold as a sustainable alternative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Silvia Hanzelova, Sales Director Specialty Kraft Paper at Mondi, says:<em>\u00a0\u201cLeveraging Mondi&#8217;s team of kraft paper and corrugated specialists, we were able to develop a fully paper-based solution with minimal material usage. Following thorough testing with Krones and a global beverage brand, Hug&amp;Hold has been confirmed in terms of runnability and viability.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The\u00a0evolution of secondary transport packaging\u00a0is just what\u00a0the\u00a0global drinks\u00a0industry\u00a0needs as it looks to the future. A sustainable, functional and fully automated alternative to plastic shrink wrap means that\u00a0brand owners\u00a0can safely switch to a\u00a0recyclable paper-based\u00a0packaging\u00a0solution, without any risk to their product\u00a0or\u00a0logistics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tarik Aniba, Sales &amp; Marketing Director Corrugated Solutions at Mondi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hug&amp;Hold currently is available for 0.5l\u00a0up to 1.5l PET bottles in bundles of six or four.\u00a0The solution will be presented\u00a0at the\u00a0Krones\u00a0booth in Hall B6\u00a0at the\u00a0Drinktec\u00a0fair in Munich, Germany, taking place from 12 \u2013 16 September 2022.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mondi has created a paper packaging solution to wrap and transport PET beverage bottles, replacing plastic shrink wrap Hug&amp;Hold is a recyclable 100% paper-based solution, comprising two elements: a kraft paper sleeve and a corrugated clip Innovative solution devised in-house by Mondi\u2019s specialist teams and has been validated for automated packing processes Mondi, a global<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5855,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[64,72],"tags":[85],"class_list":{"0":"post-5854","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-latest-news","8":"category-sustainability","9":"tag-mondi"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5854","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5854"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5854\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5856,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5854\/revisions\/5856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5855"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5854"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5854"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5854"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
