UPM Specialty Papers
 

Say goodbye to non-renewable packaging and protect your products with recyclable barrier papers. UPM’s unique barrier papers are made with fibres from sustainably managed forests. They protect your product without the need for a plastic coating and can be recycled with regular paper waste.

Depending on the end-use, you can choose protection from medium to advanced barrier properties, while ensuring a sustainable impact on the shelf. UPM barrier papers are safe for direct food contact and are free from fluorochemicals. They protect foodstuff and keep it fresh all the way to consumers’ kitchens.

Take advantage of the high strength properties UPM papers offer. All papers are designed for runnability in packaging line and can be further converted. Suitable for Flexo and Offset printing, UPM Asendo Pro also for rotogravure printing.
