- Mondi is partnering with Dobis to enhance the efficiency of producing sustainable paper shopping bags for the fashion, fast food, and retail sectors.
- Dobis is leveraging Mondi’s expertise in paper grades and recycled content to optimise quality and reduce weight.
- The collaboration has resulted in reduced material consumption, improved print quality for Dobis, while maintaining high standards of strength.
Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, has collaborated with Dobis to increase efficiency in the production and reduce paper grammages of their paper shopping bags for the fashion, fast food and retail industries.
Dobis, a Polish converter specialising in the production of paper bags, has long been known for its focus on production efficiency and modernised operations.
In its quest for excellence, Dobis has leveraged Mondi’s expertise to optimise its paper grades and successfully reduce paper weight without sacrificing the strength and print quality required for premium shopping bags. By transitioning to lighter weight papers, Dobis has not only been able to reduce material consumption, but also improve print quality and achieve clearer results with less ink, supporting the company’s sustainability goals.
Gerhard Pachler, Regional Sales Director Speciality Kraft Paper at Mondi, says: “Over the past three years, Dobis has relied on Mondi’s broad portfolio of paper products, ranging from 100% fresh fibre to papers with recycled content. The collaboration has helped us to do extensive research to test and select the ideal papers for different applications so that Dobis can meet its high quality and efficiency standards.”
Mondi supplies Dobis with a wide range of papers for converting, one of them being Mondi’s Eco/Vantage range. Eco/Vantage Light Fashion, which is made from 100% recycled fibres, is perfect for fashion and gift bags. Eco/Vantage Kraft Pro, with a recycled content of 20% and ISEGA food approval, is ideal for fast food and grocery applications. Eco/Vantage Kraft Classic, with a recycled content of 50%, combines strength and printability for food and fashion packaging, perfect for Dobis’s needs.
Arkadiusz Starzyński, Sales Director at Dobis says: “With Mondi, Dobis is pushing the boundaries of sustainable paper bags. By using Mondi’s Eco/Vantage paper with water-based inks, Dobis has achieved high-speed production with lower ink consumption and lower costs. In addition, by optimising the paper quality, we have minimised glue consumption during folding and gluing, thereby achieving our sustainability goals.”
