Reinventing packages through the use of ultralight paper

In the heart of France, SWM International is redefining the future of packaging. The German-Swiss company, renowned for its innovative ultra lightweight paper products, has established its French facilities as a hub for sustainable packaging solutions.

The company's portfolio includes a wide range of papers, available in multiple colours, opacity levels, and finishes. These papers, designed to combine aesthetic value with technical performance, are more than just innovative; they are a vision for the future of packaging.

SWM International's papers offer critical features like resistance and secure sealing, making them suitable for a variety of applications. The highly translucent papers, for instance, are heat-sealable, making them ideal for dry goods pouches. The company is also working on highly translucent papers with very low opacity, designed to replace film-based packaging.

The breathable, heat-sealable papers developed by SWM International open new possibilities for paper-based solutions in industries traditionally dominated by plastic. This shift towards sustainable packaging is not only environmentally friendly but also intelligent, ultra lightweight, and ready for use.

SWM International's commitment to sustainability and practical innovation is evident in their use of alternative raw materials like hemp, flax, and cocoa shells. The company's papers are made from natural, biodegradable fibres, and are certified for food contact, ensuring safety and excellence in printability.

The company's innovations reflect their technical expertise and deep commitment to sustainability. SWM International is collaborating with key partners in their efforts, reimagining packaging across their operations. The solutions they offer are certified for various industries, including luxury goods, hygiene products, and food items.

The innovations by SWM International are aimed at reducing plastic use without compromising on quality, functionality, or appearance. By shortening supply chains through processing in their French facilities, SWM International is leading the change in the world of packaging, one sustainable solution at a time.
