Heat-Sealable Recycled Paper

A reliable alternative to plastic – without compromising performance

When requirements change, new solutions are needed

Packaging requirements are changing. With the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation, recyclability and material efficiency are becoming key decision factors.

Our heat-sealable recycled paper offers a practical solution for flow wrap packaging in the non-food sector – designed to replace plastic films and virgin fibre paper.

Designed for Your Production

Sustainability alone is not enough. What matters is reliable performance in your production environment.

Our paper is specifically engineered for industrial use:

Excellent heat-sealing properties
Compatible with standard packaging machines
No reduction in production speed compared to plastic

You change the material – not your efficiency.

Typical Non-Food Applications

Ideal for products without barrier requirements:

Toys (e.g. puzzles, building blocks)
Electronics (e.g. cables, plugs, light bulbs)
Construction items (e.g. screws, anchors)

Important: Not suitable for applications requiring high moisture or oxygen barriers.

What to consider when switching

Switching from plastic to paper is technically feasible – but usually requires an adjustment of your machine setup. Paper behaves differently than plastic:

- Less flexible
- Requires larger bending radii
- More sensitive during the forming process

In practice, this means:

- A new forming shoulder is typically required
- Investment approx. €2,000
- Enables processing of both paper and plastic afterwards

Sample rolls and customer testing

We would be happy to assist you with the switch from plastic to paper. To order a sample roll of recycled paper, we require the following information:

Roll width
Core
Outer diameter of the roll.

Please send this information directly to Mr Severin Kasper; he will get in touch with you.

Tested and proven

Our recycled paper has already been successfully tested by:

Paxmatic AG (see the video above)
CLARUS Films AG

Further validations are ongoing.
