Paper-based packaging\u2014like paperboard, flexible paper, corrugated boxes, and coated paper\u2014is increasingly popular due to recyclability, biodegradability, and consumer preference for cellulosic materials. These materials are used in e-commerce, retail, foodservice, and supply chain.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

At Pack-Lab, we support paper and paperboard manufacturers<\/strong> by conducting thorough compliance assessments<\/strong> for their food and cosmetics customers<\/strong>. We also help them identify final material properties<\/strong> 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\u2014and simulate aging or storage to guarantee packaging integrity during shelf life.<\/p>\n
