Mondi partners with CMC Automated Packaging to develop e-commerce packaging solutions

Mondi and CMC Automated Packaging have announced a strategic partnership aimed at developing packaging solutions that deliver "customer benefits," including improved product quality and enhanced sustainability.

Mondi has been named the preferred kraft paper partner for CMC machines. The two companies said they hope to "disrupt the market" with packaging alternatives, creating synergies between CMC's on-demand packaging technology and Mondi's kraft paper products.

Mondi said its paper products, such as Advantage eCom Kraft, EcoVantage eCom Mailer Pro and EcoVantage eCom Mailer, are designed to run on CMC machines for optimal performance and efficiency. The partnership focuses on creating packaging materials that reduce environmental impact and improve the overall packaging process.

Luigi Russo, General Manager of CMC Automated Packaging, said: "This collaboration enhances our machine performance and enables us to offer our customers responsible and sustainable e-commerce packaging solutions that meet the highest performance requirements and standards. After successfully trialling Mondi Kraft on our machines, we are confident of its excellent runnability, ensuring our customers receive a seamless and efficient solution."

Earlier this month, Mondi launched FlexiBag Reinforced, a range of recyclable, monolayer PE-based packaging solutions with improved mechanical properties. The bags, manufactured in-house by Mondi, are said to be recyclable wherever there are PE film collection facilities and recycling systems.

In similar news, H-Pack has developed self-contained premium containers made from kraft paper with PET lids for premium hot and cold food products. The packages are expected to be used by premium players in the takeaway food market, such as delis, farm shops, farmers markets and specialist premium food retailers.
