Ahlstrom-Munksjö launches PawPrint™, a full range of pet food packaging solutions

PawPrint™ Pet Food Packaging Papers offer sustainable alternatives for flexible pet food packaging needs.

PawPrint™ papers provide pet food brand owners functional yet visually attractive pet food packaging – inside and out- to help them eliminate the need for single-use plastic with a more sustainable alternative.

“The marketplace is constantly moving to more sustainable, recyclable and chemical-free options for packaging, including pet food packaging,” said Jeff Murphy, V¬ice President of Ahlstrom-Munksjö’s Food Packaging business. “Our FluoroFree® technology, in addition to our other continuous innovations, are best positioned to help brand owners meet these goals.”

“Several layers go into making the optimum pet food package, and those layers can all be manufactured by Ahlstrom-Munksjö, providing customers with the exact type of package they desire based on grease-resistance, strength, and sustainability goals,” Murphy continued.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö has developed several support technologies featured in the PawPrint™ line of packaging papers, from proprietary and BPI® compostable certified grease-resistant FluoroFree® papers to glossy Gervalux™ multiwall papers.

“PawPrint’s various layers provide different attributes. While the inner liners offer outstanding grease resistance, the outer liners are crack-fold and grease resistant while providing excellent printability and shelf-presence for the brand owner,” Murphy further explained.

PawPrint™ papers come in white, unbleached trulyNatural® papers, and can be converted into several types of end-use packaging structures such as pouches, pinch-bottoms, and SOS (block) bottoms. PawPrint’s supporting technologies can also provide multiple packaging solutions to other types of food applications.

“Ahlstrom-Munksjö has been manufacturing papers for pet food and multiwall packaging for decades,” Murphy said. “Aligning with our ‘from Plastic to Purpose’ campaign and philosophy, we are best positioned to help brand owners make the move back to more sustainable, fiber-based packaging as opposed to non-renewable alternatives.”

Canadian plastics manufacturer buys Pleasant Prairie building, plans to bring dozens of jobs there

Balcan Plastics, a Quebec-based manufacturer of flexible packaging and technical films, has bought a roughly 215,000-square-foot facility in Pleasant Prairie’s LakeView Corporate Park. A village official said the company is planning an operation there with 60 employees. An affiliate of the company paid $13 million to acquire the 50-acre property at 7201 108th St. from Mondi Akrosil LLC. The property was assessed at $9.14 million for 2020, according to Kenosha County records. “We are pleased to see Balcan Plastics invest here in Pleasant Prairie,” said Nathan Thiel, village administrator of Pleasant Prairie. “The company had several options around the nation, but ultimately selected on our community, which will result in manufacturing jobs and enhance the use of an existing building.” Mondi Akrosil, a division of London and Vienna-based international packaging and paper company Mondi plc, informed state officials last year the company planned to close the facility by July 1 of this year, a move that eliminated 108 jobs.

DS Smith supports La Coopérative Agricole de Noirmoutier in replacing single-use plastic!

The two companies are strengthening their partnership by developing a 100% recyclable corrugated board solution. Reducing plastic packaging is a major issue in the CSR approach of La Coopérative Agricole de Noirmoutier, a group of producers of high quality potatoes located on the island of Noirmoutier (Atlantic coast). It is with the ambition to replace the plastic bags wrapping its potatoes that the Cooperative contacted DS Smith. With its experience and collaborative spirit, it is with enthusiasm that DS Smith organized several workshops bringing together members of the two companies. The main difficulty was to keep the potatoes in good condition despite the elimination of plastic. Thanks to the expertise of its designers, DS Smith has succeeded in developing a 100% recyclable corrugated board solution that guarantees the conservation and visibility of the potatoes.
