1.Sustainable Automated Palletizing Solution using Adhesive: Palletizing adhesive solution reduces or eliminates plastic based stretch film, using hot melt & pressure sensitive adhesive technique palletizing solution increases the efficiency and sustainability along the chain value. Enables cases to be stacked and remain stable during stacking and transportation. Effectively securing packages to the pallet, improving safety, reducing packaging waste and lowering overall costs.

Advantages:

> Reduced or eliminated pallet stretch film and packaging for shipping needed to securely deliver the products.
> Lowering labor needed for in store and warehouse handling, disposing, sorting and recycling of packaging materials.
> Increasing automation of adhesive application as a part of End of line packaging process.
> Reduces your environmental footprint and demonstrates eco-conscious actions.
> Preserves packaging aesthetic and protects brand integrity.
> Enabling easy separation of products during merchandising.
> Increased pallet stability.
> Do not burn, tear (no fiber tear) or blemish packaging.
> Great compatibility with cases, cartons and cans and secure palletizing stacking even when at a 45° angle.
> Reducing the need of intermediate layer material (slip sheets) used to stabilize palletized products.

2. Stretch Wrap Paper for Palletizing: It’s a recyclable lightweight paper by Mondi. Made from Nordic fibers known for their strength and quality, sustainably sourced from renewable sources to ensure that material supply is truly renewable. Paper is made with 100% fresh fibers; it can be recycled at the end of its life almost everywhere. This stretch wrap paper has no coating on it.

• It has an outstanding paper stretch of 11%.
• Exceptional tensile energy absorption.
• Resists breaking due to its puncture resistance.
• Circular driven solution of high recycling value.
• Tested for safe transport (as per EUMOS standard).

With 62% lower greenhouse gas emissions when compared to virgin plastic stretch film and 49% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to plastic stretch films made with 50% recycled content.

End User - For wrapping homogeneous filled pallets with flat sides and no sharp corners. For example, pallets packed with:

• PET water bottle multipacks
• PET soda bottle multipacks
• Baby food jars
• Food jars
• Boxed goods
• Empty loose paper bags or packed in boxes

3. Paper wrapping machines: The innovative paper wrapping systems are a game changer for those who want to switch to recyclable and renewable materials while transporting their products from point A to point B. They offer a renewable alternative to tertiary packaging and reduce the reliance on plastic.

• For higher production outputs: To be able to bring the paper wrapping solution to market and make it a reality for our customers, we have partnered with ACMI, the Italian machine producer that offers bottling and packaging solutions, to develop a highly performing wrapping machine for our paper.The machine due to its SCARA robotic technology designed by ACMI, replaces the existing film wrappers in the market without any issue, which is a concern of plant and operation managers.
• For small-to-medium production outputs: We collaborated with Austrian mechanical engineering company EW Technology to launch a machine for paper pallet wrapping that is more efficient and sustainable on small-to-medium production lines. The close collaboration led to the design of the innovative machine, which fills a gap Mondi identified in the paper wrapping market. Offering two settings, the machine can be fully automated to wrap up to 60 pallets every hour or semi-automated to wrap 10-15 pallets per hour.

A full reel of Advantage Stretch Wrap can be applied to the new machine without any need to re-wind. The larger dimensions of the Advantage Stretch Wrap reel mean that a replacement reel is only needed every 400-600 pallet compared to 40-80 pallets for plastic wrapping, providing a more efficient solution.
