Global sustainable paper and packaging company Mondi has entered into a strategic partnership with fully automated on-demand packaging solutions provider CMC Packaging Automation.  

This collaboration positions Mondi as the preferred kraft paper partner for CMC's advanced packaging systems, aiming to deliver sustainable and efficient paper products for e-commerce. 

The partnership will combine CMC's on-demand technology with Mondi's expertise in sustainable kraft paper.  

The focus is on creating packaging solutions that not only meet the highest standards of quality and sustainability but also offer cost-effectiveness and efficiency improvements. 

CMC Packaging Automation general manager Luigi Russo said: “This partnership enhances our machine performance and enables us to provide our customers with responsible and sustainable e-commerce packaging solutions that meet the highest performance requirements and standards.

"After successful trials with Mondi kraft paper on our machines, we are confident in its exceptional runability, ensuring our customers receive a seamless and efficient solution.” 

Mondi's extensive range of paper products, including Advantage eCom Kraft, EcoVantage eCom Mailer Pro, and EcoVantage eCom Mailer, are designed to work with CMC machines.  

This ensures optimal performance and contributes to the reduction of environmental impact. 

Mondi Speciality Kraft Paper sales director Silvia Hanzelova said: "It's an honour to become CMC's preferred paper partner. Our joint efforts will focus on creating innovative kraft paper solutions that support the circular economy and meet the needs of the e-commerce sector.

"Together, we can drive significant positive change in the packaging industry, combining our in-depth technical kraft paper knowledge power and our partner CMC's long history of machine expertise." 

Last month, Mondi announced a partnership with 'traceless', an advanced biomaterial engineering company, to develop a biocircular packaging coating solution.
