MONDI has revealed details of its work with Dobis, a Polish converter specialising in the production of paper bags, to increase efficiency in the production and reduce paper grammages of their shopping bags for the fashion, fast food, and retail industries.
Dobis challenged Mondi to optimise its paper grades and reduce paper weight without sacrificing the strength and print quality required for premium shopping bags. By transitioning to lighter weight papers, Dobis has reportedly reduced material consumption and improved print quality with less ink.
Gerhard Pachler, regional sales director speciality kraft paper at Mondi, said, “Over the past three years, Dobis has relied on Mondi’s broad portfolio of paper products, ranging from 100% fresh fibre to papers with recycled content. The collaboration has helped us to do extensive research to test and select the ideal papers for different applications so that Dobis can meet its high quality and efficiency standards.”
Arkadiusz Starzyński, sales director at Dobis, added, “With Mondi, Dobis is pushing the boundaries of sustainable paper bags. By using Mondi’s Eco/Vantage paper with water-based inks, Dobis has achieved high-speed production with lower ink consumption and lower costs. In addition, by optimising the paper quality, we have minimised glue consumption during folding and gluing, thereby achieving our sustainability goals.”
