Alternative to stretch wrap to pack the fruits…That’s a paper bundle

Mondi, a worldwide leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has teamed with Swiss converter ATS-Tanner to make an innovative paper band with individually labeled products or bundles, lowering unnecessary plastic.

Advantage MF SpringPack Paper

The revolutionary ATS-Tanner utilizes Mondis’ Advantage MF SpringPack paper and transforms it into a band by applying an impervious barrier across both sides of the material. Subsequently, sealing the paper with ultrasound representation completely eradicates any need for adhesive. It confirms the products are secured with minimum packaging, decreasing waste and providing a cost-efficient solution. ATS-Tanner markets the coated bands with the new name TruePaper.

Fruits Paper Bundle

The vast capacity of Mondis’ kraft paper ensures it can accommodate loads up to 20 kg, making this band ideal for transporting fruits and vegetables in multipacks or even shopping. The paper assures outstanding printing results indicating brand, product, return, and liable waste management messaging can be communicated to the end user.

Mondi’s kraft paper utilized for the paper band is produced from renewable, responsibly sourced, and certified materials. It is recyclable in existing paper recycling streams across Europe, even fulfilling Germany’s ratio of 95/5

Carsten Breiter, International Key Account Manager Speciality Kraft Paper, Mondi, says: “By combining world-leading expertise in sustainable packaging with ATS-Tanner’s machinery and skills, we have created a system that offers great product protection while reducing unnecessary plastic. This is the perfect example of strong collaboration producing a new solution that does just that.”

We trialed various paper grades, and Mondi’s kraft paper offers the strength to substitute plastic packaging with this paper band. TruePaper is a resource-efficient solution that can – depending on the banding machine used – wrap products measuring up to 1300 x 500 mm and is convenient to store. Using paper instead of plastic is not the only advantage: an ultrasonic banding machine from ATS-Tanner consumes 98% less energy than it would take to pack a like-sized delivery using a shrink-wrapping machine.
