Mondi has successfully developed a new recyclable functional barrier paper range. Designed with protection in mind, this range of certified recyclable barrier paper solutions is fully integrated across Mondi’s value chain—from paper production to the barrier application—and can run on existing filling lines for form-fill-and-seal (FFS) applications. Mondi’s AegisPaper range reduces the amount of plastic used by replacing it with a renewable resource that has specific mechanical properties, such as puncture resistance, flexibility, printability and barrier protection. Within AegisPaper, there are three grades available for different applications and requirements: *AegisPaper select offers a wide range of custom barrier properties *AegisPaper 95/5 food is certified as fully recyclable and has the best mechanical properties for food applications *AegisPaper reduce provides the thinnest functional barrier paper to reduce amount of packaging material needed

While marketing focus steadily shifting from a mass to a more personalized approach, and each consumer increasingly has their own individual tastes and needs, analogue printing technologies such as gravure and flexography can not always caater to such requirements. This has lead to vendors needing to create an ever increasing variety of products but of smaller quantities, a phenomenon which has led to a constant reduction in the size of production lots. The Miyakoshi MJP30AXF includes features such as: *Water based ink, safe for food packaging *Minimizing of inventories and waste helping to achieve sustainable goals *Optimized production with a variety of small jobs on one single web *High resolution 1200 x 1200 dpi with latest inkjet printhead technology *Digitally printed white, enabling high quality colour reproduction *750 mm(30 inch) print width and 50 meter per minute printing speed *No make-ready time such as plate/drum making, and ink change.
