Depending on the product, with a water vapour barrier tailored precisely to your application.
Risk: Moisture penetrates, causing the product to lose its crispness.
Solution: A barrier coating whose water vapour permeability we tailor to the requirements of your product.
Verification: Measurement of water vapour permeability (WVTR at 23 °C and 50 per cent relative humidity) and testing using samples of your product.
Crispy treats for little breaks
Snacks & Dry Goods
Paper-based barrier solutions ensure that snacks arrive just as a brand promises. They protect product quality and flavour throughout the entire supply chain, from packaging to consumption.
With barrier paper, precisely tailored to the application.
The brand promise
The packaging does more than just protect the product
It protects that little break whilst preserving freshness, shelf appeal and trust in the brand. This ensures that the packaging experience, product consistency and those special everyday moments are maintained.
At the same time, it is recyclable, suitable for machine processing and food-safe.
That leaves the crucial question: can barrier paper replace plastic?
Your benefits
Paper-based packaging with a reduced plastic content is high-performance, suitable for machine processing and recyclable. Thanks to its strong barrier properties, it reliably protects your products, whilst you benefit from a high-quality surface finish, good printability, stable machine performance and reliable sealability.

Tried and tested, because every application is different
The proof of application
-
How does paper protect against damp?
-
How does paper retain fat and flavour?
Depending on the product, with barrier coatings against grease and oxygen.
Risk: Grease seeps through; oxygen alters flavour and quality.
Solution: A combined grease and oxygen barrier, with an additional MOSH/MOAH barrier on request.
Verification: KIT test for the grease barrier, OTR measurement for the oxygen barrier, and testing using samples of your product. -
Can paper be processed on existing packaging lines?
Our barrier films are optimised for existing packaging lines. Major modifications are not usually necessary.
Risk: Malfunctions during forming, sealing or filling.
Solution: Where necessary, we adapt the process and individual components, such as the mould shoulder.
Verification: Machine trials under real-world conditions. -
How recyclable are barrier papers?
Barrier papers are verifiably recyclable and assessed in accordance with a recognised standard.
Risk: Uncertain disposal and regulatory risks, such as those arising from the EU Packaging Directive (PPWR).
Solution: Depending on the product, a paper content of 80–95 per cent and a material-efficient coating that separates cleanly from the fibre during recycling.
Evidence: Assessment in accordance with CEPI 4evergreen.
