Benefits wax packaging / Consumer print
Easy to open

…and easy to close! Paper is fibre-based. A wide range of substances is available depending on mechanical characteristics required, base papers used for wax coating range from 20 g/m² up to 100 g/m². Regardless of the paper weight, waxed paper retains unique features. Its outstanding dead fold properties make it very easy for consumers to preserve the wrapped product after the packaging has been opened.

In addition, this “crushability” ensures low volume waste once the wrapped product has been eaten or used.

Consumers are able better to control tearing when opening the packaging. Consequently, wax coated paper provides the optimum balance between product preservation and practicality, making it an extremely user-friendly way to wrap consumer products.
 
Other benefits are:

Positive perception by consumers
