High-barrier packaging paper range expanded by Mondi

Mondi has expanded its range of medium, high and very high barrier paper-based packaging to offer more sustainable options to its customers.

The packaging manufacturer now offers a full range of FunctionalBarrier Papers. By applying different barrier technologies, such as extrusion coatings, aqueous coatings and other very high barriers, this range of paper-based packaging can be used for a variety of applications.

The medium barrier version, designed for industrial, eCommerce and personal care packaging, offers high sealability and medium water vapour protection, while the high barrier functional paper offers a medium oxygen and water vapour barrier, as well as a high grease and mineral oil barrier for frozen foods and chocolates.

The very-high-barrier version, for consumer food products such as coffee, cereals and confectionery, provides excellent product protection from water vapour and oxygen and ensures a long shelf life. All are produced in-house as renewable alternatives to plastic laminates and multi-material aluminium-based packaging.
