Mondi to showcase new sustainable packaging innovations at Rosupack 2018

20 Jun 2018 --- Mondi, the global packaging and paper group, will showcase its latest portfolio at RosUpack 2018 in Russia. It will include global and local premieres of new sustainable packaging innovations designed in response to “sophisticated consumer demands and industry trends.”

The exhibit will include the global pre-launch of a new premium design paper in the PERGRAPHICA portfolio: PERGRAPHICA Infinite Black. Mondi will also showcase the corrugated e-commerce solution (Re)use, before its upcoming market launch in Russia.

Sara Sizer, Group Communication and Marketing Director, Mondi Group, says, “Russia is an important market for Mondi and we have a strong presence here: two consumer packaging plants, one corrugated packaging plant, and our pulp and paper mill in Syktyvkar. For the fifth year in a row, we are at RosUpack to meet our customers and suppliers and discuss how Mondi’s innovative packaging drives sustainable success.”

Mondi focuses on research and development into high-performance paper, sustainable plastics and state-of-the-art printing, and partners with customers and suppliers to address industry and consumer trends such as lightweight packaging, flexible alternatives to rigid packaging, packaging designed for e-commerce, and high-quality packaging that offers end users greater convenience and ease of recycling. In 2017, Mondi received

five global World Star Awards for its unique packaging solutions.

Georg Kasperkovitz, CEO of Mondi’s Consumer Packaging business, explains, “We give our customers a competitive advantage in their respective industries. Many of our packaging solutions and designs result from close collaboration with major companies around the world to develop the sustainable and innovative solutions they and their customers require. Today’s end-consumers are attracted by packaging that stands out through appealing design and innovative features. Our design process also considers our customers’ logistics chains, making them more efficient and economical.”

A broad range of Mondi’s packaging and paper solutions will be presented at RosUpack 2018, including flexible packaging, corrugated solutions, industrial bags, containerboard and office and professional printing papers.

Mondi highlights at RosUpack 2018 include:
- Mondi will present the global pre-launch of an exciting new product in the PERGRAPHICA portfolio: PERGRAPHICA Infinite Black. This paper was developed for premium creative print and packaging applications such as shopping bags, covers or liners. PERGRAPHICA Infinite Black will inspire designers with its smooth feel and deep shade while providing outstanding folding and varnishing properties, food safety certification, and a wide range of substances.

- Mondi will showcase (Re)use before its upcoming market launch in Russia: (Re)use is a process-efficient and consumer-friendly corrugated e-commerce solution with double hot melt application. This solution increases handling efficiency during fulfilment through its easy closure, thus eliminating the need for additional foil bags in transport. The tear-open strip enables convenient, easy opening at the point of delivery, while the second hot melt strip supports simple, tapeless reclosure for returns.

- Mondi’s customized wicket bags for personal hygiene and household paper products are designed for high-impact shelf appeal. Along with high tensile and sealing strengths, these Mondi films and laminates run superbly on packaging lines. The wicket bags are available in environmentally friendly formats.

- SPLASHBAG, made of Mondi Advantage Protect sack kraft paper, originally launched in 2015 and improved through R&D, is even more water-repellent than before. This industrial-strength paper bag is now able to resist rain for up to six hours and can be stored in wet environments for up to five days. Afterwards, the bag can be handled and emptied without any breakage, making it the ideal solution for moisture-sensitive powdered products like cement and other building materials.

- The Mondi flexible cement bag meets the highest demands for cost-efficient packaging for cement and dry construction mixtures. It is a high-performance tubular form-fill-seal (FFS) film. The core element of this packaging is its moisture and dirt protection to prolong shelf life, even if the goods are stored outside. When its attractive appearance, convenient side gusset, and optional ventilation system are combined to full advantage, they create a decisive competitive edge at the point of sale.

- ProVantage Komiwhite. This “Nordic fibre paper” is a first-class paper for strong, shelf-ready packaging solutions that catch the eye with a bright and attractive appearance. The white top kraftliner paper grade offers unprecedented quality in terms of printability, paving the way for enhanced visual branding.

Mondi will be situated in Hall 15, Booth B503, at RosUpack, 26-29 June in Moscow..
