Mondi is continuing its collaboration with Pacapime Hungary to supply corrugated packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables across Central and Western Europe.
Pacapime Hungary operates a 42,000-m² corrugated production site in Mórahalom, with an annual capacity of up to 180 million m². The company serves customers in Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Western Europe, focusing on produce boxes for apples, pears, tomatoes and bell peppers.
Packaging for fresh produce must combine strength, durability and ventilation to protect goods during transport while maintaining shelf presentation. To meet these requirements, Pacapime Hungary uses Mondi’s ProVantage SmartKraft Brown containerboard grade.
The containerboard features a 100% fresh-fibre top ply, providing surface integrity and consistent quality. Its strength characteristics support burst and tear resistance, while stable runnability contributes to efficient converting and predictable box performance.
“High-quality kraftliners are essential in fresh produce applications,” said Tom Pissens, Managing Director at Pacapime Hungary. “The paper must perform consistently, as our customers depend on us to deliver packaging that performs as expected.”
Since 2024, Pacapime Hungary has been led by Lynn and Tom Pissens, the fourth generation of the family in the corrugated packaging industry. The company combines long-standing experience with a lean production setup, enabling flexibility, particularly during peak agricultural seasons.
The collaboration includes technical cooperation, on-site containerboard support and joint trials aimed at optimising paper selection and packaging performance in line with customer requirements.
Sustainability is a shared focus. Pacapime Hungary has invested in water treatment systems, solar panels and certification processes, while Mondi’s fibre-based containerboard portfolio supports circular packaging solutions designed for material efficiency and recyclability.
Mondi is a global packaging and paper group operating across more than 30 countries. The company produces a broad range of fibre-based and flexible packaging solutions and operates an integrated value chain from raw materials to finished products. Mondi focuses on developing circular packaging solutions that support resource efficiency and recyclability.
