Make the switch to paper pallet wrapping

‘Paperisation’ is gaining traction across various packaging types. Did you know that you can replace plastic also in secondary and tertiary packaging with the right paper?

Speciality Kraft Paper

Pallets vary significantly, from weight to height to shape and product protection has priority. Not just any kraft paper can be used for this, special mechanical properties are required:

  • Tensile Strength: provides puncture and breakage resistance
  • Stretch: crucial for transportation when dynamic forces are applied, it provides the "cushioning" for the wrap and prevents the paper from breaking
  • Both of these parameters combine in the TEA (tensile energy absorption) value, which is the ultimate parameter for pallet wrapping

Ad/Vantage StretchWrap

Mondi’s Ad/Vantage StretchWrap is a 100% kraft paper that is made from fresh Nordic fibres. It contains no plastic or coating and delivers an outstanding 11% stretch, excellent strength and tensile energy absorption even in the low grammage of 70g/m2, which makes it the ideal paper for pallet wrapping.

Pallet in paper wrapping process

Investment in dedicated machinery

As wrapping pallets in paper is a completely different process and fundamentally changes how the market operates, it requires a different approach overall and collaboration across the value chain. Machinery producers have increasingly extended their offering to paper pallet wrapping such as PaperWrap, Robopac, Tosa Group or Acmi.
