BAG in touch with you. Every day.

You may call us Mondi Paper Bags now! Our business segment has been renamed from Mondi Industrial Bags to Mondi Paper Bags. This new name has no impact on our everyday business with you. We will continue to produce high-quality paper sacks and serve you in the best possible way under our new name.

Sustainability is a hot topic all over the world. Companies and consumers are looking for more sustainable solutions, and paper sacks are the answer to this problem.

2019 11 06 084827

Sustainable packaging, though, needs to be a performing packaging first. It has to protect the product packed in order to avoid product loss and unnecessary waste. Product loss results in more energy consumption – and therefore higher CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere. Paper sacks can perform highly and be sustainable at the same time – they are indeed "the whole package". You can learn more about the environmental benefits of paper sacks for dry-bulk materials by watching the Eurosac (European Paper Sack Association) video below.

Speaking of sustainable packaging: with our expertise in strong paper sack manufacturing we have developed MailerBAG – our patented e-commerce paper bag with an easy opening and re-closing adhesive strip. MailerBAG replaces the plastic that mailers commonly used in e-commerce and especially in the fashion industry, thereby helping to reduce plastic waste.

MailerBAG is not our only sustainable product; we have also developed Protector Bags. Protector Bags are ideal for packing rigid and bulky goods in an efficient way that reduces CO2 emissions and unnecessary additional packing material.

We would like to help you meet your sustainability goals and commitments with packaging that is fit for purpose and sustainable by design, through our EcoSolutions approach.

Let's contribute to a better world!

Mondi is a global leader in packaging and paper, delighting its customers and consumers with innovative packaging and paper solutions that are sustainable by design. Mondi Corrugated Packaging designers have been recognised at the German Packaging Award 2019, which was held on the first day of the FachPack trade fair in Nuremburg, Germany, receiving an award in the ‘Logistics & Material Flow’ category. The ’DashV1Box - DashBoxes by Mondi: The universal fit for your Dashboard range’ solution, developed for an automotive manufacturer, was recognized above all for its significantly improved production and material flow, as well as a reduction in its CO2 footprint.

Supply chain complexity prompted a major German car producer to seek a universal solution to replace 35 packaging variants for over 2,000 different SKUs. The DashV1Box introduces a single standard packaging that has reduced processing costs by 31% and quality complaints by 80%. This sustainable solution uses 100% corrugated material. The unique ergonomics made it difficult to find a one-fit solution, but DashV1Box recognises that the ends of the dashboards are almost identical. Different component lengths are accommodated by variable fixation of the corrugated fittings. The result is a standardised and process-reliable packaging concept along the entire supply chain. At the same time, this optimised packaging also meets the expectations of all individual steps in the production process.

“We are particularly happy that the packaging has found a secondary use during handling in the workshop. The components can be removed from the folding box with the corrugated material inner sections and placed on the workshop floor – secure and clean and, above all, sustainable,” explains Jan-Willem Kleppers, Marketing and Sales Director of Mondi Corrugated Packaging. In addition, the DashV1Box packaging solution also contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions. “We are especially proud to have designed an innovative and, above all, sustainable packaging solution together with our customer. It meets all the requirements of a standardised and process-reliable packaging concept along the entire supply chain, from parts supplier to the end customer,” says Georg Koller, Product and Project Management of the Mondi Corrugated plant in Ansbach.

During product development, the following aspects were able to be optimised and thus made more sustainable*:

  • Optimum balance between protection of packaged item and economic efficiency
  • Cost-optimised packaging with regard to handling and material
  • Quality enhancement and therefore reduction in number of complaints
  • Elimination of multi-material packaging
  • Suitability for all modes of transport (commercial road vehicles, rail, air and sea freight)

Jan-Willem Kleppers goes on to say: “Our customers are looking for opportunities for differentiation, they want to manufacture in a sustainable manner, and they also want to lower costs and become more efficient. Our new sheet packaging is an excellent example of this.” The reusability of materials, the reduction of excess material and the replacement of less sustainable materials with more sustainable corrugated material solutions were all made possible by this packaging solution. “We are also especially proud that our guiding principle ‘Sustainable by design’ is reflected in this packaging solution. It is very important to us to support each customer to help them reach their individual sustainability objectives, because packaging certainly plays a role in the solution here,” says Armand Schoonbrood, COO Mondi Corrugated Packaging - showing his pride in the award.

Mondi Corrugated Packaging focuses on developing individual and innovative packaging for each customer which meets all requirements. As a ‘Home of Innovation’, the company has an in-depth understanding of raw materials, processing steps, product design, local supply chains and recycling options, enabling it to help its customers in the selection of sustainable packaging solutions. Mondi has committed itself to contributing to a better world.

: *The optimisation is based on the realisation that the respective instrument panels (car parts) possess nearly identical external forms. Redesigned corrugated material holders enable the car parts to be bedded solely on these external areas. The complex and differing contours of the part base no longer have any interfering influence. The problem of different part lengths was resolved by the ability to adjust the two holder paddings to compensate the different lengths in the transport packaging.  The parts are secured to the corrugated material holders via two ’Velcro straps'. Using one folding box size and two corrugated material holders, it is now possible to package approx. 2000 automotive parts, including all colour and variant options. Thus we have achieved a major step forward for sustainability.

The Gold Award has been awarded in addition to the Packaging Award since 2016. The competition organizer is the German Packaging Institute (dvi) in Berlin.

Mondi, a global leader in paper and packaging, has launched a new website to market their Uncoated Fine Paper (UFP) brands. At myMondi.net, professionals from the printing and design industries will find everything they need to know about Mondi’s high-quality paper brands, as well as paper recommendations, local distributor details and multimedia content that educates and inspires.

Two years after launching their business-to-business e-commerce platform for direct customers, Mondi has now expanded their digital strategy with a new platform addressing everyone who would like to choose the right paper to create truly impactful print materials.

marketingei others logo 8795“Many printers, publishers, art directors and graphic designers love working with our paper, but as a manufacturer we don’t speak to them as much as we would like to. Digital platforms give us the chance to share our knowledge, start a conversation, and learn more about the needs of people who create beautiful things with our paper,” says Johannes Klumpp, Marketing and Sales Director at Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper.

Designed around user needs

The new website was designed with audience needs in mind, based on comprehensive interviews and user experience research. It offers detailed information on all Mondi branded papers as well as the opportunity to get in touch and start a conversation with Mondi paper experts. A ‘where to buy’ function lists distributors for each country and paper brand, and the “paper finder” provides smart recommendations for specific projects.

The website shows a growing reference project database with articles showcasing inspiring print projects, know-how articles, best practice stories, videos and podcasts on paper and print.

The user has the option to test the quality of Mondi’s papers by ordering free sample folders for the flagship brands Pergraphica and Color Copy. Additionally, an event calendar with the possibility to register for design and industry events is available.

A new home for PERGRAPHICA®, Color Copy and NAUTILUS®

The website replaces microsites for the Mondi UFP flagship brands Pergraphica and Color Copy, collecting all brand content and product information in one place. Stories, design books and magazines printed on Pergraphica, know-how articles about topics such as CO2 offsetting for paper production, and recent episodes of the Mondi Print and Paper podcast will also be available on myMondi.net. With its recent expansion of the portfolio, Mondi’s recycled fine paper brand NAUTILUS® will also appear on the site, as will NEUJET® premium papers for high-speed inkjet presses and office paper brands such as IQ, MAESTRO® or Niveus®.

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, is transforming its office paper portfolio, with focus on the needs of the consumer for a clearly structured premium and universal office paper offering. Therefore, instead of differentiating between B and C paper qualities, Mondi is launching a universal office paper that combines the best features of both grades and holds a unique position on the market in terms of whiteness.The new strategy applies to Mondi’s office paper brands IQ and MAESTRO®, which take two of the top five spots for paper mill brand awareness in Europe according to the latest EMGE cut-size and brand positioning survey.

“With our new approach, we are initiating a significant change in the office paper market,” says Johannes Klumpp, Marketing & Sales Director, Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper. “Through our own market research, we have learned that our consumer care most about the whiteness, the runnability and the appeal of our paper. That was the driving force behind our new office portfolio strategy, which builds on the strengths of our Mondi mills.”

Mondi’s market research across several European countries showed that the difference between universal office papers, traditionally separated into B and C qualities, is becoming smaller and smaller, with the key differentiator being whiteness. Mondi’s new strategy disrupts this outdated classification and instead differentiates between premium papers and a single universal quality. Today’s end-users value premium quality paper for high-end company communication materials, while one universal product is sufficient for everyday office needs. Mondi’s new office portfolio offers customers the best of both worlds.

High-bulk lightweight premium office paper launched

Within premium qualities, Mondi is launching another innovation with the new portfolio: A high-bulk office paper with a weight of 75 g/m2. The new product looks and feels like a high quality 80 g/m2 paper, offering great opacity and the high whiteness customers expect of a premium paper, combined with the efficiency of a lightweight sheet.

Produced by Mondi mills in Austria and Slovakia, both of the new products in the premium and universal segments are FSC or PEFC™ and EU Ecolabel certified.

Strong distribution partners for Mondi’s mill brands

In the B2B environment, Mondi cooperates with merchants partners throughout Europe and in overseas markets to sell its office portfolio. Mondi’s IQ portfolio is exclusively distributed by Europapier in Central Eastern Europe. “Feedback from our customers across Europe has been very positive towards Mondi’s new office range,” says Wolfgang Riedl, Purchase & Product Manager for office papers at Europapier. “IQ smart convinces with its above-average thickness, its perceptibly bulky feel and its fresh and cool white shade. Its excellent opacity is ideal for duplex printing and it offers superior quality in terms of inkjet printability. IQ economy+, on the other hand, is a very efficient office paper with great runnability and a new and improved high whiteness.”

In Germany, Mondi works closest with IGEPA, the exclusive distributor of MAESTRO® in that market. “Our customers appreciate the sharp focus of Mondi’s new portfolio,” says Bernd Loschelder, Business Unit Director Office & Packaging of IGEPA Germany. “The new MAESTRO® beat creates an 80 g/m² premium experience at 75 g/m² and thus offers more value per sheet, making it a very unique solution on the market. MAESTRO® standard+, on the other hand, is a multi-purpose paper for everyday office needs. It offers high whiteness, and it is smoother than the previous qualities.”

Mondi’s unique TRIOTEC® sandwich technology

The Group’s new strategy makes use of its assets in its paper mills, including the patented TRIOTEC® technology in Mondi Neusiedler. As its name indicates, TRIOTEC® technology combines three layers that are sandwiched together into one product. While the outer layer of all TRIOTEC® papers contain sustainably produced and certified virgin fibers, the middle layer can consist of various raw materials, such as recycled fibre or BCTMP (Bleached Chemi-Thermomechanical Pulp). The benefits include excellent bulk, high opacity and increased paper stiffness, enabling perfect runnability for high-volume print jobs and minimizing machine downtime, as well as reduced machine wear thanks to low dusting.

“With the customer always in focus and together with our strong merchant partners, we are convinced that the time is right to transform how we position and sell our office papers and make this change happen on the market,” concludes Johannes Klumpp.

Mondi has recently enhanced the portfolio of its key paper brands Color Copy and PERGRAPHICA® in new digital formats to offer bulk-packed paper options saving its professional printing customers time and money while increasing speed and efficiency.

The market leader for digital colour printing Color Copy is now offered with new digital formats as SRA3, SRA3+, A3+ and 33 x 48.3 cm, all of them available in long grain (LG) and short grain (SG). The SG format is the standard format for A4 brochure printing or book-on-demand printing and is now available bulk-packed, with reams on the pallet with or without a box enabling high-volume, long-run print jobs to run more smoothly. The offer specifically targets professional printing businesses looking for best possible printing results with satisfaction guaranteed, and getting the benefits of the finishing options.

Mondi’s premium design paper PERGRAPHICA® has also extended its offer to the creative and premium print industries, and is now available in a bulk-packed and reamed on pallet SRA3 format in both long grain and short grain options. The recent SRA3 update allows designers to digitally print and review their work on PERGRAPHICA® paper thus testing it, before actually going to (offset) print. In line with the brand’s promise and thanks to the product’s versatility, this addition supports designers to achieve outstanding printing quality turning their vision into reality.

“Customer satisfaction and flexibility are key drivers in our strategic planning,” says Mondi Marketing and Sales Director Johannes Klumpp. “For designers and printing professionals, grain direction in paper is critical, as it influences the paper’s creasing and folding behaviour. Our new folio line offers perfect cutting quality and accuracy direct from the mill, which together with our fully automated pallet stacking offers a clear competitive advantage for our flagship brands Color Copy and PERGRAPHICA®.”

TerraSpeed roll coatings from Voith have been used successfully for many years. The product range now has a new addition – TerraSpeed Supreme, featuring new and impressive design parameters that give the coating outstanding performance values. TerraSpeed Supreme is already being used successfully in more than 15 installations worldwide.

The new functional coating of TerraSpeed Supreme ensures very stable roughness values and outstanding sheet release. Thanks to its improved coating structure, TerraSpeed Supreme minimizes web breaks and can reduce the open draws. In addition, TerraSpeed Supreme enables much longer roll service lives.

Improved operational reliability at Hamburger Austria
There are already more than 15 successful installations operating worldwide. Voith customers are impressed by the new coating and have already placed follow-up orders. One such customer is renowned corrugated base board manufacturer Hamburger Pitten. Josef Krenn, Operations Director and Markus Ungersböck, Head of Mechanical Maintenance at Hamburger Pitten in Austria explain the success story of TerraSpeed Supreme as follows: “At Hamburger Austria we produce a high-quality, diverse range of corrugating medium, packaging papers and plasterboard on our PM 4 in Pitten. The sophisticated use of different raw materials, auxiliaries and operating supplies imposes stringent requirements on the Nipco-P roll, the key position in the press section. Following the expansion of our range of paper grades, performance and doctoring using standard ceramic roll covers for this position became very unstable. A greater number of web breaks, and in some cases even sheet passing under the doctor blade, as well as premature roll changes to re-machine surfaces after relatively short periods of service, were suddenly day-to-day occurrences.”

Voith engineers also recognized the challenge and helped the customer to select the best coating in combination with suitable doctor blades, as Krenn and Ungersböck confirm: “Since we have been using the new TerraSpeed Supreme from Voith Paper operation has been absolutely reliable at this critical position. In combination with Voith's SkyTerra S doctor blades, we have now been operating the unit for more than 2 years without interruptions and there has been no need to re-machine the roll surface. Web breaks originating from the Nipco-P roll have dropped significantly, sheet passing does not occur anymore and performance has been very stable over the entire operating time. The newly developed ceramic-coating TerraSpeed Supreme from Voith Paper has significantly improved our production but above all has made it operationally reliable again.”

Mondi impressed by TerraSpeed Supreme and SkyTerra S
Basically, the high wear resistance of Voith's TerraSpeed Supreme enables continuous doctoring at maximum load. The SkyTerra S blade with negative facet was specially developed for use with TerraSpeed Supreme. But the successful use of TerraSpeed Supreme at Hamburger Pitten is not an isolated example. The Mondi production facility in Frantschach, Austria, has also had a similar experience. Andreas Petschenig, maintenance engineer at the Mondi paper mill in Frantschach, is also impressed by the premium coating: “In Frantschach we produce high-quality sack kraft paper grades on our PM 6 and PM 8. The sophisticated use of materials including chemical auxiliaries and operating supplies means that the press has to meet fairly exacting production engineering requirements. For example, following the installation of the shoe press at the PM 6 the doctoring on the ceramic covers of the shoe press counter roll became unreliable. A greater number of web breaks, sheet passing, and high web draws were almost part of the daily routine, as were roll changes to re-machine surfaces after relatively short periods in operation.”

Thanks to the new coating there has been a considerable improvement in performance at Mondi in Frantschach as well, as Petschenig reports: “All these problems have been solved since we started using TerraSpeed Supreme from Voith Paper. In combination with the Voith doctor blades SkyTerra and SkyTop, the cover service lives could be substantially increased. There is no more sheet passing and web draws could be reduced. The newly developed ceramic cover TerraSpeed Supreme from Voith has considerably simplified our production.” In the meantime, TerraSpeed Supreme has also been running successfully for a year in the shoe press of the PM 5 at Mondi Steti.

Now that numerous other Voith customers have had a similar positive experience with TerraSpeed Supreme. Taylor designed doctor blades like SkyTerra S and SkyTop S can even enhance that high performance level.
