Welcome to the world of Sack Kraft Paper
Mondi’s Sustainable Products criteria We aim to offer solutions that create value for our customers through sustainable products that are both sourced and produced responsibly. In 2018, we identified the need to refocus certain elements of our Responsible Products criteria in order to promote our circular economy approach and make the criteria more relevant to all fibre packaging and plastic products. The criteria have been reviewed, updated and renamed Sustainable Products criteria. We have set a benchmark for our sustainable products to meet a minimum of two criteria, one of them being responsible sourcing. Our businesses have started to define businessspecific criteria and develop a corresponding scorecard to track progress. This will increase transparency for our customers and partners.
Our Sustainable Products criteria reflect all stages of the value chain: Responsible sourcing: Products using responsibly sourced raw materials and services from suppliers who meet our social, environmental, legal and ethical criteria. Renewable materials: Products made with renewable material or feedstock. Recycled materials: Products made with recycled content without compromising quality or safety. Resource optimisation: Products designed, engineered and manufactured to best utilise all available resources including reduced emissions to air, water, or land. Enhanced product performance: Products and solutions (including substitution) with sustainable features to reduce product loss and/or environmental impact in the supply chain. Next life: Products are optimised for the most desirable end-of-life scenario to retain value into their next life, such as reusability and recyclability, or compostability and biodegradability.

Collaboration leads to more innovation and awards The world’s first HDPE film-free, 100 % recyclable and biodegradable paper sack Together with the Australian supplier of industrial paper sacks, Pope Packaging, we have created a 100% recyclable and 100% biodegradable paper sack. The core of this partnership was shaped by the drive to create a paper sack that dispenses with HDPE film in order to conserve natural resources and reduce waste. “The primary challenges were to maintain the moisture resistance that traditional paper sacks currently offer whilst avoiding any filling constraints in view of the absence of HDPE film,” comments Matthew Sullivan, General Manager Pope Packaging.
He regards the Mondi BAC (Bag Application Centre) in Frantschach, Austria as one of the key success factors, “Given the highly advanced analytical services of the Mondi BAC, including its Mega Gurley and storage testing capabilities, we were able to develop a gamechanging solution and provide our customers with hard evidence of the Enviro Barrier™ credentials.” Enviro Barrier™ has scored a hat-trick by winning three gold medals at the Australian Packaging Design Awards 2015 and also the coveted WorldStar Packaging Award in 2016.

Sack kraft paper for all your needs and requirements Optimised in light of your expectations We keep our eye on what’s happening in our customers’ industries. This allows us always to offer you the best technologies and raw materials, meet the highest required standards, and create sack kraft paper solutions with exceptional value for your success.
Great paper quality originates from the best fibres Strength Both our brown and our white sack kraft paper grades offer excellent strength properties. Our strongest grades have a TEA index of up to 3.8 J/g. These grades are ideal for one and two ply industrial bags with a filling weight up to 50 kg. Porosity For fast and dust-free filling of cement or other powdered goods we offer papers with a perfect combination of strength and porosity. These papers allow efficient deaeration of bags during filling and are strong enough to withstand the tough demands of filling and handling. Runnability In the bag converting plant, paper features such as strength, stiffness and surface smoothness must be stable to ensure effective operation of the high-speed machinery. Printability Our white sack kraft paper grades offer excellent print characteristics. A smooth paper surface and uniform paper formation achieve a high-quality print result that enhances your bag’s point-of-purchase appearance. 11 www.mondigroup.com/sackkraftpaper
Sack kraft paper for a multitude of applications We are a full-range supplier of sack kraft paper grades. These are highly suitable for various types of industrial bags, including open mouth bags and pasted valve bags. Our product range includes brown, white and PE-coated paper grades for quick dustless filling, tough handling, all types of converting and filling machinery, and varying climates.
Open mouth bag applications Paper features such as strength, stiffness and surface smoothness are important for open mouth bag applications. Our brown paper grades are perfect for bags being filled with potatoes, for example, and other fresh foods, animal feed and granulated products. The white and PE-coated grades are developed primarily for the pet food segment, in which barrier characteristics and fine print are crucial.

Pasted valve bag applications for different bag sizes: 25-35 kg bags The trend in the building, chemical and food industries is to pack powdered goods in smaller bags. Mondi has a wide selection of brown and white grades that meet tough converting and filling requirements. Our Advantage ONE grade is an attractive and economical packaging solution for smaller bags – a paper so tough that one ply offers plenty of strength for both filling and tough handling.

40-50 kg bags Large, 40-50 kg bags are mostly used for cement. For this demanding application Mondi has a wide range of both brown and white strong and porous papers. Bags made from grades such as Advantage Select allow quick, dustless filling – and more importantly, an opportunity to introduce cost-efficient two ply bags with the same or better strength properties than earlier three ply bag designs.

Dust-free paper sacks Industry guidelines of the European Sack Group There are good reasons for adopting dust-free paper sacks, from better health and safety, a gentler environmental impact and cost savings for fillers, to enhanced branding possibilities. The European Sack Group’s industry guidelines describe established methods of producing dust-free paper sacks that are to be filled with cement or similar building materials. To avoid dusty cement paper sacks, the following should be taken into consideration: • Use a pasted valve sack from flush-cut or stepped-end tubes.
• Make sure the size of the sack is correct in relation to the desired filling volume.
• Make sure the glue is set in the right position around the folded corners of the bottom flaps.
• Ensure the filled sacks are palletised correctly.
• Use an internal self-closing valve or an external fully sealed valve. The more plies used in the internal self-closing valve, the better the protection against dust. • Apply an inflatable-sleeve filling spout, which fills out the entire valve during the filling procedure. • Make sure a spillage return flap is installed in the filling machine. This prevents overhead products from dropping on the sack. • Keep the drop height to the conveyor as short as possible for the filled sack, otherwise air and dust will escape before the valve has closed properly. • Use a high-porous paper without any perforations and with high-strength properties. 15 www.mondigroup.com/sackkraftpaper
Our product portfolio at a glance We develop our sack kraft paper grades to meet the demands of converters and fillers alike. The right strength and stretch characteristics are important for today’s high-speed converting machinery, while a perfect combination of strength and porosity ensures quick and dustless filling. Excellent surface properties make for great print results and point-of-purchase appearance.
