The future of bakery packaging: why functional papers are rising to the top
When evaluating new packaging materials, the conversation starts with product protection. Bakery ingredients have diverse protection needs. While products such as vanilla sugar and dessert creams can be packaged with relatively low barrier materials, ingredients containing nuts, seeds, or fats require stronger protection against oxygen, water vapour, grease, and mineral oil to preserve quality and shelf life. To address varying protection needs, Sappi has developed a comprehensive portfolio of functional papers that combine sustainability with tailored barrier performance across a wide range of bakery applications.
