Bosch Packaging Technology introduces world’s first sustainable sealed paper packaging for dry products such as sugar, flour, and grains

Bosch Packaging Technology and BillerudKorsnäs combined expertise to develop the world´s first Sealed Paper Packaging which uses polymer film, a new solution that allows production of dust-tight packaging for dry products such as sugar, grains, flour or powders.

Made of sustainable mono-material paper that is free of additional polymer fractions, the packaging ensures retailers and consumers of clean shelves, high product protection and improved product quality.

The paper packaging is produced on the first vertical form, fill and seal machine (VFFS) with the ZAP-Module which allows coating with the sealing agent on a minimal surface area, preserving the paper`s mono-material character. The solution is based on the proven “PME” machine concept from Bosch.

The new solution combines this technology with the Axello®ZAP paper from BillerudKorsnäs, a Swedish paper specialist which optimized the mechanical properties of the paper. “This revolutionary concept would not have been implemented without the collaborative effort of both companies. Together we have developed a solution that will change the packaging market,” said Joachim Dittrich, head of Liquid Food product division at Bosch Packaging Technology, responsible for the VFFS ZAP portfolio.

First sealed paper packaging

For environmentally conscious consumers

Compared to conventional paper, Axello®ZAP is more durable and retains its natural paper characteristics and advantages, from source to recycling. The sustainable characteristics of the material increase its appeal to eco-conscious consumers.

With the new paper, BillerudKorsnäs has developed better packaging material that withstands the stronger mechanical requirements in processing. “The combination of the strength, flexibility and stiffness of Axello®ZAP paper fits perfectly with Bosch’s technology,” said Ole Paulussen, sales director at BillerudKorsnäs.

More flexibility for formats and pack styles

Until now, the production of mono-material paper packaging was only possible with glued pre-made bags or formed paper bags on mandrel wheel technology. The VFFS concept, more flexible regarding formats and pack styles and thus popular on the market, so far only allowed bag production using polymer film or fully coated paper.

The ZAP-Module enables processing mono-material paper on VFFS technology with dust-tight sealing. The Axello®ZAP paper was specially developed for this application, as well as in the ZAP-Module, which applies a minimal amount of the sealing agent during the packaging process to enable heatsealing of the paper on the VFFS machine.

For the dry food market

The solution meets the growing demand for sustainable packaging for dry foods such as sugar, flour, grains and powders. The machine is user-friendly and allows versatile packaging styles, including pillow, gusseted and block bottom bags with gable or flat top closure. “We are positive that our solution, supported by several years of development, not only addresses today’s challenges for our customers but also gives them the possibility to enter completely new markets and areas of application using sustainable packaging,” said Marcus Velezmoro, sales responsible for the VFFS ZAP portfolio at Bosch Packaging Technology.
