We are pleased to present our special Packen Kraft Paper Recyclable Bags & Accessories!

Today, the average EU citizen consumes 198 plastic carrier bags per year. After the Directive (EU) 2015/720 regarding the consumption of lightweight plastic carrier bags has been enacted, the national governments of the member states have introduced different regulations in their countries in order to reduce the consumption.

Packen Kraft paper recyclable bags & accessories have amazing advantages in terms of environmental friendliness. They contribute to create a more sustainable world because they:

• are natural and biodegradable,
• have a low climate impact,
• are reusable and recyclable.

The environmentally responsible Kraft paper collection by Packen help companies demonstrate their environmental responsibility, promote the sustainability credentials of paper bags and share them with your customers.

The raw material used in papermaking – cellulose fibre extracted from wood – is a renewable and ever-growing natural resource. All constituents from a tree are fully utilized when a tree is harvested – there is no waste. Due to their natural compostable characteristics, paper bags degrade in a very short period of time and do not end up in nature or harm any sea life.

Paper bags & accessories produced with virgin or recycled fibres have a remarkably low impact on global warming potential compared to Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) bags, produced with renewable or recycled LDPE.

The paper bags’ long fibres also make them a good source for recycling. On average, the fibres are reused 3.5 times in Europe. In general, a cellulose fibre from a paper product can even be recycled up to six times before it is turned into bioenergy or being composted at the end of its life cycle.

Flexography:

This is a direct printing method by a so-called “flexible” printing form, made of rubber or flexible plastic (photopolymer). Thanks to the use of roll presses, flexography enables high-speed and high-quality printing. It is therefore preferred for large volumes. In practice, this mode of printing is used for paper bags with twisted handles or flat.

Attention, this mode of printing is not the most adapted for the printing of visuals in four-color process. For the printing of this type of visual, it is preferable to use offset printing or photoengraving.

Offset:

Offset is an indirect printing process using a flat printer form. This process is suitable for multiple applications and can be printed on paper as well as plastic, on smooth or rough surfaces.

Indeed, the offset is based on the physical principle of repulsion according to which a fatty substance (ink) and a non-greasy body (water) repel and never mix. Thus, the ink will remain only on the parts to be printed.

Since offset printing is more expensive than flexographic printing, it will only be used for the manufacture of luxury Kraft paper bags and for conventional paper bags with graphic designs or complex photos.

Screen printing:

This process is particularly suitable for the printing on small quantities (from a few units), its implementation costs being very low. Another advantage of screen printing: the ability to print on a variety of media (including paper) and bags already manufactured (paper bags or reusable shopping bags).
