Trombini is the big winner of the 5S Best Practices Award – Southern Region
Choosing the right type of paper for packaging goes far beyond appearance. The raw material used influences the packaging’s strength, protection, performance, and efficiency at different stages of the logistics chain.
For companies that need to transport, store, and protect products safely, understanding the types of paper used in packaging manufacturing is an important step toward finding the solution that best meets their operational needs.
At Trombini, we mainly work with recycled paper and kraft liner, materials with distinct characteristics and specific applications.
Recycled Paper: Making the Most of Fibers
Recycled paper is produced by reusing fibers from paper-based materials, such as recovered paper and materials that have already gone through other cycles of use.
Its use contributes to the recovery of materials and the reduction of waste, strengthening practices related to the circular economy and more efficient use of resources.
Where Is Recycled Paper Used?
Its applications include:
- Corrugated packaging fluting;
- Boxes for dry products;
- Packaging that incorporates recycled fibers into its composition;
- Solutions aligned with sustainability and circular economy strategies.
The application should always take into account the product’s characteristics and the conditions in which the packaging will be used, especially in situations involving moisture or direct contact with certain products.
Kraft Liner: Strength and Performance
Kraft liner is produced from virgin cellulose fibers, generally sourced from pine and eucalyptus. Its characteristics make it suitable for applications that require strength and structural performance.
It offers good resistance to tensile stress, tearing, and abrasion — important characteristics for packaging subjected to handling, transportation, and stacking.
Where Is Kraft Liner Used?
Its main applications include:
- Outer liners of corrugated boxes;
- Packaging that needs to withstand loads and handling;
- Paper bags;
- Multiwall bags;
- Applications requiring strength and print quality.
How to Choose the Right Packaging
Before defining the type of paper, it is important to understand how the packaging will be used.
Some questions can help with this assessment:
- What is the weight and type of product?
- How will it be transported and stored?
- Will the packaging be stacked?
- What humidity and temperature conditions will it be exposed to?
- What level of strength is required?
- Is there a target for the use of recycled materials?
With this information, it is possible to assess not only the type of paper, but also the most appropriate packaging structure.
Paper Solutions for Different Needs
At Trombini, we understand that every operation has specific challenges. That is why we have a Product Development team that evaluates our customers’ needs on an individual basis. We combine technical knowledge and experience in developing paper and corrugated packaging solutions, considering the requirements of each application.
Material selection is one of the steps involved in developing efficient packaging. When paper, structure, and design are aligned, the solution can contribute to a safer, more efficient, and more sustainable operation.
