Adhesive for kraft packing paper

Experts note that, with every year, the volume of online shopping is increasing. This involves a growing demand in item-specific packaging. Paper packets are used most often for online purchasing. For a package to stand out and be remembered best by a buyer, companies apply pictures, logos and information about the goods on the packages.

A modern trend is paper packaging. A paper base is considered an eco-friendly material, and its use boosts the company image in the opinion of the buyers and makes the goods look special. In contrast to polyethylene bags, paper ones decompose faster and are environmentally less burdensome.

The market offers different kinds of paper bags. They are classified by their form, material, purpose, and presence of additional elements (windows, handles, printed matter, etc.).

Kinds of paper packages

1. Sachets – used for food and non-food products.

2. Food cones – popular mostly for food products (confectionary and bakery products, and fast food items).

3. Bags with a rectangular bottom – used for packing various food and nonfood products.

4. Multilayer bags – used for packing construction materials and bulk stock.

5. Bags with windows – used for packing food and nonfood products.

6. Bags with handles – used by brand shops for gifts and souvenirs. The bags are made with several types of handles: flat, twisted and textile braidlike handles.

Multilayer bags account for a wide segment of paper packages. Kraft paper bags differ from paper packets in form, structure and production process. Kraft paper bags are made of multilayer thick recycled raw materials with the use of special equipment. When forming the bag sleeve, additional reinforcing materials are often needed to make the package durable and firm.

According to statistical data, in Europe 67% of paper bags is taken up by the construction materials segment; 13%, by food products; 7%, by animal feedstuff; 7%, by chemical products; 5%, by fertilizers.

What is used to make eco-friendly packages

The raw materials used to make paper packages are as follows: coated board and heavyweight paper, white and brown kraft paper, efalin and construction paper.

Coated board is made of 3-5 tightly bonded layers, making the sheet look uniform. The board has a white smooth surface to make the package attractive.

Kraft paper is a high-strength material so it is used for packing different goods and items. Kraft paper bags are used for packing construction materials, food products, goods for animals, planting materials and other products.

Efalin is distinguished by its high strength. Efalin is used to make paper bags with designs for souvenir products.

Construction paper has a variety of textures and a range of colors. This material is used to make bags for gifts and for shops and presentations.
