Paper-based packaging—like paperboard, flexible paper, corrugated boxes, and coated paper—is increasingly popular due to recyclability, biodegradability, and consumer preference for cellulosic materials. These materials are used in e-commerce, retail, foodservice, and supply chain.
Yet, paper must meet high performance standards: mechanical strength, moisture and grease resistance, and safety for food contact. It should also avoid ink migration and degradation in humid environments.
At Pack-Lab, we support paper and paperboard manufacturers by conducting thorough compliance assessments for their food and cosmetics customers. We also help them identify final material properties to ensure that their products meet both the functional requirements of the supply chain and the expectations of end-users. We test grammage, moisture resistance, burst strength, and barrier properties—and simulate aging or storage to guarantee packaging integrity during shelf life.
