The Lemu Group and paper manufacturer Koehler Paper have collaborated to introduce fully paper-based mailers, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic packaging.

These innovative mailers, crafted from Koehler Eco® Paper recycled paper, provide robust protection for goods during shipping while eliminating the need for plastic bubble wrap. Available in various grammages, Koehler Eco® Paper exhibits excellent runnability on standard converting systems, facilitating the production of lightweight and versatile paper mailers.

Jean-Claude Jaufret, director of the Paper Bags and Envelopes division at the Lemu Group, expressed enthusiasm about the product: "We're extremely happy that we're now able to produce a lightweight, versatile, and fully recyclable paper mailer on our machines."
