    Lightweight Paper and Packaging

    Smarter Packaging Starts Here.

    Innovation in Paper and Packaging

    We believe better packaging starts with better paper. Thanks to our brand-new paper mill, we now produce high-quality lightweight paper that maintains outstanding performance for a wide range of applications. This innovation allows us to offer superior packaging solutions without compromising on quality or sustainability.

    Strength Without the Weight

    Up to 20 % Lighter with the Same Quality

    We manufacture a full range of recycled paper grades, including various testliner and medium grades as well as a kraftliner substitute. These papers allow us to design lighter boxes at the same strength – without the extra weight.

    Smarter Board Choices

    Single or Double Flute?

    Lightweight paper opens the door to smarter board choices. Instead of using thick single-wall boards, we can now opt for double-walled solutions that offer:

    • Improved printability for better visual appeal
    • Better haptic experience

    This means better performance and presentation—without added material.

    Understanding Lightweight Paper

    Any paper under 100 g/m² is considered lightweight. We produce brown recycled paper in various grades:

    • Testliner in different grades
    • Kraftliner substitute in different grades
    • Fluteliner
    Sustainability in Action

    A Smarter Path to Material Efficiency

    Sustainability is more than a trend – it's a responsibility. Our lightweight boxes are made with almost exclusively recycled fibers, reducing the need for virgin materials and lowering environmental impact. As part of our closed-loop paper cycle, your packaging can be collected, recycled, and reborn – again and again.

    Added Values That Add Up

    Efficiency in the Lead

    Lighter packaging helps you save in multiple ways:

    • Lower waste disposal fees
    • Reduced transport costs and CO₂ emissions
    • Better cost-to-performance ratio

    It’s a smart step toward a more responsible and efficient future.

    Benefits of Lightweight Paper and Packaging

    Smarter Structure

    Better Performance with Double-Wall Boards

    Switching to double-walled board solutions improves both printability and visual appeal. Lightweight packaging enables better performance without increasing material thickness.

    Eco-Friendly Choice

    Less Virgin Fiber, More Sustainability

    Our lightweight packaging is made of a very high percentage of recycled content, reducing the need for virgin fibers. It’s a responsible step toward protecting forests and minimizing environmental impact.

    Savings That Scale

    Lower Costs in Transport and Waste

    Lightweight packaging reduces transport weight, waste disposal fees, and CO₂ emissions – delivering a better value for your business and the planet.

    Paper machine among the top 5 in Europe

    Location Eilenburg

    The site in Germany has been part of the Model Group since August 2021. The conversion of our plant for the production of corrugated base paper has been successfully completed since August 2024.

     

    The highly productive manufacturing program includes the production of corrugating medium and testliner 3 from 70-120 g/sqm². The capacity of the paper machine is 600,000 tons per year with a working width of 9.40m.

     

    This means that the largest and widest paper machine in the Model Group is now available in Eilenburg.
