Walki\u2019s brand new Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap is the ideal solution for packaging non-food and e-commerce products that do not require demanding barrier properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These days, most paper-based packaging solutions are coated with polyethylene (PE). Provided the PE layer is very thin \u2013 in some countries, contributing to less than five percent overall plastic content \u2013 the packaging is recyclable according to the current regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe wanted to go beyond that,\u201d explains Bernd Gelder<\/strong>, Walki\u2019s Business Development Manager for Industrial Packaging. Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap is a heat-sealable, recyclable, paper-based packaging material ideal for non-food packaging that requires no separation of the coating in the recycling process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When switching from plastic to paper for e-commerce or non-food applications such as household goods, toys or games<\/strong>, the most important requirements are strength and sealing properties. Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap delivers the necessary properties when it comes to strength and is also heat sealable, unlike many other paper-based packaging solutions which are glued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe major advantage of heat-sealable paper solutions is that they allow producer to use the same equipment used to seal plastic,\u201d says Gelder, adding that all grades of Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap are also all printable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap offers a base material with heat-seal properties on the back and high-quality flexo printing on the front.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere is no need to use a separate printing provider since we can deliver the final packaging material in reels”, explains Gelder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap is available on bleached or unbleached craft paper grades, ranging from 50 to 90 gsm, and also on Paptic\u00ae, an ultra-high end biobased, recyclable and reusable packaging material with outstanding haptics that is especially suited to luxury applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cInnovative coating technologies will play a major part in helping us develop sustainable, fibre-based packaging solutions that are also fully recyclable\u201d, says Gelder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMost companies already have a clear agenda for reducing plastic use in the coming years. We are seeing more and more demand \u2013 from consumers, retailers, brand owners and e-commerce providers \u2013 for recyclable packaging solutions.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Author: Isabelle Kliger Walki\u2019s brand new Walki\u00aeFibre Wrap is the ideal solution for packaging non-food and e-commerce products that do not require demanding barrier properties.
