Sustainable paper and packaging solutions for product protection in e-commerce

Innovative packaging solutions that meet the growing demands of online retail will be presented at Fachpack. In addition to efficiency and cost savings, sustainability and product protection are becoming increasingly important. A wide range of paper products will be on display, from simple filling materials to specialized air cushions. The aim is to design packaging that is not only functional, but also resource-efficient and consumer-friendly.

Paper products for void filling and flexible application

A central element of the portfolio are coreless paper rolls, which are dispensed via ergonomic dispensers. Thanks to integrated tear bars, the webs can be easily separated and used flexibly. They are primarily used to efficiently fill cavities in cardboard boxes and stabilize goods during transport. These solutions are indispensable, especially for large online retailers who ship a huge range of products every day. From small spare parts to high-quality electronic devices, every shipment must be securely protected.

activaPaper for sensitive electronics and valuable goods

activaPaper was developed to protect high-quality products such as laptops and smartphones. This special paper prevents sensitive goods from slipping or being damaged in the box. It can be used directly under the packing table and ensures precise adaptation to different product sizes. The focus is on easy handling and reliable stability, so that even sensitive items arrive undamaged at their destination.

Paper air cushion pads with plant-based inner coating

A particular highlight are paper air cushion pads that are fully compostable. They have an inner coating made from plant starch and do not contain any plastic film. This means that end customers can easily dispose of the pads in their compost after unpacking. This approach is in line with growing consumer demand for environmentally friendly packaging. At the same time, retailers benefit because sustainable solutions are viewed positively by customers and strengthen the brand image.

FSC-certified paper products made from recycled material

All paper products are FSC-certified and consist mainly of recycled material. The close collaboration with the FSC organization underscores the commitment to sustainable forestry. Legal requirements that restrict the use of fresh fibers are also complied with. With this approach, the manufacturer combines ecological responsibility with clear economic benefits.

Efficiency through optimal carton filling and smaller packaging

In addition to sustainability, efficiency plays a decisive role. Cost savings are achieved not only through the product price, but above all through optimized use. When cavities are filled precisely and cardboard boxes are reduced in size, material consumption and shipping costs are reduced. The aim is to make the best possible use of the available space in the box instead of sending oversized packaging with unnecessary filling material.

Sustainable adhesive tapes made from recycled PET bottles

The manufacturer offers a range of sustainable solutions for sealing cartons. Particularly noteworthy is an adhesive tape that consists of at least 85 percent recycled PET bottles and is equipped with its own environmentally friendly adhesive. In addition, a wet adhesive tape is available that is made entirely from FSC-certified recycled paper. Both variants offer stability during transport and directly signal the sustainable approach to the recipient through their labeling.

Air cushion solutions made from recycled material for large volumes

Air cushion solutions are used for cartons with larger volumes. Here, too, the focus is on sustainability: the cushions are made from 100 percent recycled material, with 80 percent post-consumer recycled material and 20 percent post-industrial recycled material. The systems are ergonomically designed for users and can be controlled via modules. Rolls can be easily refilled, while sensors automatically regulate the supply. This keeps the process efficient and operation straightforward.

Sustainability as a competitive advantage in online retail

The demand for sustainable packaging is constantly increasing. Consumers expect retailers to use environmentally friendly materials that can be easily disposed of after unpacking. Those who meet this demand not only strengthen customer confidence, but also benefit in the long term from a better image. FSC-certified, recycled, and compostable packaging solutions therefore offer a clear competitive advantage.
