In May 2026, UPM collaborated with Michelman and Bobst to launch paper packaging solutions. The new solutions consist of two validated packaging types and a bio-based coating. The one packaging solution offers grease & moisture protection, and the other offers an excellent oxygen barrier. The packaging aligns with SUPD and offers excellent barrier performance.
The packaging is made from fiber-based materials and offers strong heat sealability. The packaging supports recyclability and is fully plastic-free. The packaging solution offers a barrier against oxygen, moisture, and mineral oil. Both packaging solution is best alternative for traditional mixed plastic. Both solutions offer high industrial performance.
The first packaging is SUPD-compliant and integrates bio-based coatings. The packaging is designed for sugar stick-packs, tea bags, and oatmeal. The packaging offers excellent heat sealability and good moisture protection.
The second packaging is ideal for single-pack chocolate and cookies. The packaging has enhanced material efficiency and consists of an improved oxygen barrier. The second structure is widely used for the packaging of items which requires oxygen barrier.
