Mondi has launched its new recyclable Protective Mailers made entirely of paper. The innovative mailers, developed in collaboration with Amazon, enable e-commerce companies to securely ship goods without the need for plastic bubble wrap, while remaining fully recyclable in conventional paper waste streams.
The Protective Mailers are made from Mondi’s strong but lightweight kraft paper and open flute material. The flexible design offers the possibility of customising the open fluting to the needs of the product, ensuring resilience and product protection to prevent goods from shifting inside the mailer and safeguard products in transit. The good printability of the kraft paper enables customers to add effective branding and distinctive designs to each mailer.
The Protective Mailers are available in standard and customisable sizes – their height can be adjusted to best suit the size of their contents, thereby reducing average parcel dimensions, optimising material use and facilitating lower shipping costs.
‘e-commerce customers are constantly looking for protective, sustainable packaging in which their products are safely delivered to their consumers,’ said Nedim Nisic, group e-commerce director. ‘We have risen to this customer challenge with our new fully paper based solution – the Protective Mailer. This solution can handle any product, both fragile and bulky, from small electronics to books to fashion accessories and much more.’
‘Amazon stopped using traditional bubble wrap padded envelopes in Europe several years ago, which presented a challenge to develop light, flexible and fully recyclable paper packaging that provides the same protection,’ said Thais Blumer, European head of sustainable packaging for Amazon. ‘Achieving both low weight and maximum protection with a 100% recyclable paper envelope was not an easy task, but these envelopes are easy to pack, simple for customers to recycle at home, and enable damage free deliveries.’
Protective Mailers are user friendly – quick and easy to use. Options available include a tear tape for easy opening and an additional hot melt strip for easy closure when returning the shipment.
‘The Protective Mailers address a real need. In the recently released fifth annual Mondi e-commerce report – which covers e-commerce trends, analysis and attitudes – we found that 88% of consumers value protective packaging as their top need. In addition, more than half (58%) of survey respondents said they expect nearly all of their parcels to be delivered in compostable or recyclable packaging. With the new Protective Mailer, made with fully recyclable paper, we cater to these consumer requests while ensuring the solution is easy to handle within fulfilment and logistics for our customers,’ Nedim Nisic added.
