Further details on the award-winning packaging innovations:

CoralTray

We eliminate the plastic and plastic foil in conventional vegetable trays, with our fully recyclable, sustainable packaging. There is no loss in packaging performance: the lid of our Coral Tray ensures good product visibility, while protecting its contents and being easily stackable. The customer can print on the packaging. Plastic is eliminated while logistics are vastly improved: CoralTray runs on erecting machines at the same speed as a conventional corrugated tray without lid, a huge improvement as no foil is added either. Twice the amount trays can be stored in one E2 crate compared to a tray with foil.

EcoWicketBag

Mondi's EcoWicketBags are a paper-based packaging solution that provides an alternative to traditional plastic packaging for hygiene products such as nappies, bringing paper-based packaging to the hygiene market worldwide. They reduce plastic consumption and are made from a renewable resource - paper.

Functional Barrier Paper

Mondi's functional barrier papers can replace plastic films and laminates traditionally used for FMCG and consumer products with a recyclable and renewable solution. It reduces the amount of plastic by replacing it with a renewable raw material that has specific mechanical properties such as puncture resistance, flexibility, printability and barrier protection.

SIOC Pack for soaps

Following the trend to reduce packaging in the eCommerce Mondi created for one of our customers a bespoke SIOC solution (Ships in own container). The clever, 100% corrugated design protects the sensitive products across the eCommerce supply chain without any secondary box needed. The well-thought out dimensions of the design make the pack fit easily through a letterbox, meaning the end user's unpacking experience begins immediately.

ToolBox XL

The Toolbox XL beats conventional 6-bottle beer carriers in design and capacity, providing space for 12 bottles and offering impactful product display and brand promotion. The box is fully stackable in transport and easy to carry for consumers. The fun design of a tool box together with offset printing triggers consumers to continue using the box after emptying.

TwistMailer

Clever use of wave orientation and two hotmelt strips means that this packaging is immediately ready to be filled and can secure contents without any fixing materials. Variable in height, it is easy to pack and takes up little storage space, offering protection during transportation and overall improved efficiency. Made from fully recyclable corrugated board, this packaging replaces polyethylene bags, PE bubble-lined envelopes, and smaller F0201 used in e-commerce. Constructed without gluing, it ships less air so is cost-effective and is printable, with zipper or tear tape openings.

(Un)-Lock System

Two-piece packaging created for client's new vacuum process, which lifts the pack from above. Existing bottom gluing machine still can be used without changing the parameters. Once the lid and bottom part are locked to each other the clever function provides a secure locking and lifting process (with vacuum machine) without using any glue or tape. Made of 100% paper. Optimal closing option to ensure fully automated warehouse distribution and changing handling processes of retailers are met.

WalletPack

Mondi's WalletPack is a recyclable mono-material solution that replaces a non-recyclable multi-material plastic. The high barrier material protects food and the environment by preventing food spoilage and improving recyclability in compliance with existing recycling guidelines.

X-fold Box

Can X-FOLD design offer the quick and easy set up like a box with 4 or 6 gluing points? Mondi´s team of e-commerce packaging designers looked into this together with their customer LPP and created a smart 2 point glued solution that does the trick. Mondi once more proved to live up to its 3e promise for eCommerce: e-conomic, e-fficient, e-asy.
