Adapa, a packaging specialist, excels in efficiently and resourcefully packaging confectionery such as toffees, soft caramels, and sweets. Keeping up with certification bodies and the paper industry’s future expectations, adapa recently launched an innovative twist wrap called PaperTwister(re). This paper-based solution not only works seamlessly on high-speed packaging lines but has also been certified as repulpable, meeting the renowned CEPI standard.
Unbeatable Efficiency and Certified Recyclability
PaperTwister(re) offers a range of 40 to 50 g/m2 papers and can be used for single or double twists, as well as folding applications. It is designed to run on the fastest twist wrappers in the market, delivering excellent performance on both established and high-speed packaging machines, with an impressive output of 2,300 pieces per minute. The twist wrap is available in standard paper and metallised versions. What sets adapa’s PaperTwister(re) apart is its sustainable approach. Comprised of 90% paper content and a plant-based coating, it has been certified as repulpable according to the new CEPI (4EverGreen) and OPRL (CPI) standards, emphasizing the importance of circularity in fiber-based packaging design.
Superior Quality Appearance and Consumer-Friendliness
The PaperTwister(re) not only meets the demands for paper packaging from manufacturers and consumers but also provides convenience. It boasts a dependable and easy-to-open deadfold, ensuring a pleasurable unwrapping experience. Moreover, its easy-release feature prevents confectionery products from sticking to the wrap. For eye-catching appeal, the innovative PaperTwister(re) can be printed in up to eight colors.
