Desired outcome

We are looking for a technology to seal paper packaging materials (paper only with no plastic coating) without using traditional glues or any other additive.
For a sustainable packaging application, we're looking for a technology to seal or crimp kraft paper without using glue or plastic coating applied on the paper. Ideally, we want to seal 100% untreated paper without adding any other chemicals.
Our preferred solution would be a folding of the packaging material

Details of the Innovation Need

For a sustainable packaging application, we're looking for a technology to seal or crimp kraft paper without using glue or plastic coating applied on the paper. Ideally, we want to seal 100% untreated paper without adding any other chemicals.

In the final packaging, the paper will be folded on itself. Therefore, we need a sealing technology that can hold together up to three layers of paper.

We will judge solutions based on:

  • Industrial availability or potential scalability of solution proposed
  • Cost of the equipment
  • Performance for the end user product (efficient closure but easy-to-open)

Keywords: Paper, closure, seal, crimp, glueless, plasticfree, bonding, packaging, sustainability.

Discarded solutions

- Technology to seal/crimp materials made of paper + plastic film coating. - Adhesives in general
