Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has created Protector Bag ExpandForm, a paperbag solution with an expandable feature to safely rollpack mattresses.
Protector Bag ExpandForm replaces the current plastic packaging with a flexible and recyclable alternative. The solution is also customisable and can expand to different sizes while holding the mattress securely. The packaging is made with Mondi’s kraft paper, which is responsibly sourced and renewable, and can be recycled contributing to a circular economy.
The paper bag is puncture resistant and suitable for printing, meaning brands can customise their deliveries with a high-quality finish. Unlike plastic, the paper layers are also breathable and can emit gas that can evaporate easily with this new packaging.
Megaflex Schaumstoff, a family-owned manufacturer for flexible foams and mattresses and sleeping products, is the first company to protect its products with this new packaging. Megaflex collaborated closely with Mondi and machine producer FillMatic to ensure a smooth switch from its current plastic rollpacking equipment.
Plastic rollpack wrapping can expand up to 200% in transit, taking up space and potentially deforming outer cardboard packaging. A benefit of Protector Bag ExpandForm meanwhile is that it is dimensionally stable – saving on shipping and storage costs.
