Becoming increasingly favored by the market! What are the advantages of this type of packaging?

Packaging Hundred Enterprises Club 2025-03-28 17:30:34

On March 20-21, 2025, the Packaging 100 Enterprises Club Annual Meeting and C300 International Summit Forum were grandly held in Shanghai! UPM was invited to attend this forum, joining experts, scholars, and outstanding enterprise representatives in the packaging and printing field to explore cutting-edge innovative technologies and solutions, bringing new inspiration and insights for seizing market opportunities and industry development trends.

Nowadays, the use of fiber-based materials has become a key pathway for sustainable packaging to "reduce plastic." Both domestically and internationally, numerous well-known brands in sectors such as snacks, confectionery, chilled foods, and daily chemicals have successively piloted the replacement of traditional plastic packaging with paper-based flexible packaging.

Why is paper-based flexible packaging gaining favor in the market?

What are the special advantages of paper-based packaging?

What specific paper-based packaging options are available?

Xia Xiaohui, the Development and Sales Manager of UPM's packaging paper business, provided a detailed introduction to UPM's paper-based flexible packaging material solutions, offering multi-dimensional options to meet the packaging needs of various end applications.

UPM offers a variety of packaging (barrier) papers sourced from sustainably managed forests, featuring the advantages of being renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable. Additionally, these products meet stringent international food safety certifications such as GB, FDA, and BfR. To address the diverse packaging needs of different end applications, UPM provides a wide range of solutions.

Process on demand to achieve excellent barrier packaging effects

To achieve oil resistance, water resistance, moisture barrier, and oxygen barrier performance comparable to plastic, multiple processing steps are required on the base paper. Therefore, the coating performance of the base paper layer plays a crucial role in the final barrier performance of the packaging.

UPM Solide-Losen is a type of base paper highly suitable for high-barrier coating applications.

Smooth surface and dense texture can meet various coating requirements, achieving an even coating.

Can be heat-sealed directly after coating, improving packaging efficiency.

Low basis weight, high strength, capable of meeting both lightweight and load-bearing packaging requirements.

Currently, UPM's standardized or customized packaging solutions based on packaging base paper and functional coatings have successfully been applied in various fields such as tissue packaging, candy and chocolate packaging, and garment packaging.

Ready to use, with built-in heat insulation seal

UPM Confidio™ Pro and UPM Confidio™ are imported barrier papers with built-in heat seal properties. As standardized products, they offer reliable and stable heat sealing as well as moisture and oil resistance, suitable for various printing processes. They can also be integrated into existing packaging production lines, providing notable performance and cost advantages. These papers can be applied in a wide range of end-use areas, especially in secondary packaging or other packaging applications that require heat sealing.

Co-create, precisely match more packaging needs

To meet higher barrier and other functional requirements in specific fields, UPM, leveraging the excellent processing performance of its packaging base paper, continuously engages in deep collaboration with upstream and downstream partners in the industry chain. This collaboration aims to develop solutions that balance diverse functional needs, enhance printing quality and packaging efficiency, and achieve superior environmental benefits, thereby supporting customers in their sustainable transformation.

The demand for sustainable packaging is growing, and UPM is committed to providing customers with paper-based packaging solutions that balance performance, environmental friendliness, and cost, offering reliable green new choices for a wider range of end-use applications!
