Why premium fibre-based packaging is redefining luxury apparel
In luxury apparel, packaging has evolved far beyond protection - it is now an integral part of brand expression.
Packaging from material to machine: a partnership that enables twist wrapping performance
How to transition to paper-based solutions without compromising efficiency, visual impact, product quality, or machine performance. The result is a solution developed through continuous exchange and joint testing, ensuring it is ready for real production environments.
Rethinking the cone: how Sappi and Huhtamaki are taking aluminum out of the ice cream aisle
Imagine opening a handheld cone‑packaged ice cream. As you peel back the wrapper, you are holding an aluminum foil–paper laminate – effectively unchanged from the material used for cone wrappers since the 1970s.
Working together for more sustainable tea bag packaging
Teepack Spezialmaschinen, a leading German manufacturer of packaging machines for tea bags based in Meerbusch, Germany, and Sappi, a leading manufacturer of barrier papers, have launched a joint project for the world's largest packaging trade fair, interpack 2026, in Düsseldorf. This successful collaboration will be presented to the audience for the first time.
Enabling precision in application
In tobacco packaging, performance is defined not only by the material itself, but by how it is transformed. The collaboration between Sappi and Boegli Gravures brings together material expertise and precision embossing technology to create surfaces that deliver consistent visual and tactile results while remaining efficient to process at scale.
From substrate to print: collaboration that delivers performance
At Interpack 2026, Sappi and Koenig & Bauer present a collaboration shaped by practical application. It brings together material expertise and printing technology to address a common challenge: achieving consistent print performance across technologies while increasing production efficiency and workability.
Barrier Papers for High-Performance Packaging
Food packaging is multi-faceted – it must securely enclose products and have an attractive appearance. Furthermore, it will soon have to meet strict design-for-recycling criteria according to the PPWR (Product Packaging and Recycling Directive). Modern barrier papers can replace multilayer plastic packaging in many applications and can be disposed of as mono-materials in wastepaper recycling.
