Mondi, a global frontrunner in sustainable paper and packaging solutions, is set to take center stage at Fachpack 2025 in Nuremberg from September 23 to 25. The company will showcase an extensive selection of packaging options, including kraft paper, solid board, corrugated solutions, functional barrier papers, and flexible plastic-based packaging, all designed to meet the diverse needs of its customers. This comprehensive offering underscores Mondi’s commitment to delivering fit-for-purpose solutions that provide significant advantages in the food and drink packaging sector.

Mondi combines vast material expertise with a neutral material selection strategy, ensuring the optimal choice for each application. As a trusted supplier, Mondi emphasizes reliability, flexibility, and solution-oriented service, enhancing customer satisfaction. The company possesses deep knowledge of the packaging landscape, particularly in regulatory requirements like the PPWR, market trends, and the ability to adapt to external challenges. This holistic viewpoint enables Mondi and its partners to collaborate on customized packaging strategies that not only deliver excellent performance but also ensure compliance and facilitate the shift toward sustainable packaging solutions.

At this year’s Fachpack, Mondi will present its innovative and varied packaging lineup. This includes high-barrier solutions for food and drink packaging, options for home and personal care products, as well as fiber-based alternatives intended for fast-moving consumer goods, solid board, and corrugated solutions aimed at eCommerce and industrial applications.

“Innovation at Mondi starts with collaboration,” states Thomas Ott, CEO Flexible Packaging at Mondi. “In our newly launched FlexStudios, customers can actively engage in the innovation process, gaining insights from our extensive expertise and cutting-edge technology to drive sustainable change in the flexible packaging industry. FlexStudios also feature pilot lines for real-time testing, allowing us to swiftly transform ideas into practical packaging solutions through collaborative efforts. By connecting customers, machinery partners, and recyclers, we ensure that innovation is both actionable and tailored to real-world demands.”

Another notable highlight at the Mondi booth will be Mondi MatchMaker, the company’s initiative designed to connect early-stage innovators with Mondi’s business units. This structured framework supports pilot development and scalable growth. Mondi MatchMaker will feature prominently in a panel discussion at FuturePack 2025 on September 22, providing early-stage founders an opportunity to network with key stakeholders in the packaging industry. Additionally, the company will highlight successful case studies from its start-up initiative at the “Innovation in practice” networking event during Fachpack on September 23 from 14:00 to 16:00 CET at INNOVATIONBOX.

“The acquisition of Schumacher Packaging’s operations in Western Europe greatly enhances our corrugated capacity and capabilities,” remarks Markus Gärtner, CEO Corrugated Packaging at Mondi. “This strategic move allows us to provide customers with a broader array of sustainable packaging solutions, bolstered by improved supply security and local service. By merging our strengths, we can deliver greater value and flexibility to meet the evolving demands of customers in eCommerce, FMCG, and industrial sectors.”

Mondi’s Product Portfolio at Fachpack 2025:

Mondi introduces its premium lineup of barrier papers—an ideal packaging solution that combines high strength with sustainability.

The Ad/Vantage TrayWrap, Mondi’s secondary paper tray wrapping solution, effectively replaces plastic shrink film for stackable products. It accommodates brick-shaped items like coffee vacuum packs, aseptic cartons, or boxes, in addition to cylindrical containers such as glass jars and beverage cans. This transition not only promotes sustainability by reducing CO2e emissions by over 75%* but also streamlines the packing process by eliminating the need for a shrink oven.

The re/cycle Protective Mailer is an innovative paper-padded mailer specifically designed for eCommerce deliveries, replacing conventional plastic bubble-wrap with fully paper-based cushioning. This mailer, crafted from strong yet lightweight kraft paper and open-flute material, promotes circularity and recyclability. Available in various standard and custom sizes, the mailers provide exceptional cushioning while minimizing excess packaging and reducing transport costs.
