Packaging Innovations & Empack exhibition awarded PapairWrap solution

Leipa UK and Papair’s sustainable void-fill solution, PapairWrap, has been named the most innovative packaging project at the UK’s Packaging Innovations & Empack 2024 exhibition. It is the first bubble wrap made from 100% paper, scooped the coveted Innovation Gallery Award of the event.

PapairWrap, which commenced production at Papair’s Rethem an der Aller facility, is a synthetic- and adhesive-free bubble wrap made entirely of paper and promises to protect both products and the environment.

Sarah Lesting, Managing Director at Leipa UK, said: « We’re thrilled that the Papair product was given the recognition it deserves at this year’s Packaging Innovations & Empack show. Whilst I have followed this fantastic start-up for some time, it has only been available in the UK since December, so it’s exciting to have so much interest here in the UK market. »

Christopher Feist, CEO & Co-Founder, Papair: « Our vision is a world without unnecessary plastic waste. We are convinced that our paper bubble wrap can significantly contribute to this. We started production in August 2023, and thanks to Leipa’s support, we are already available in the UK market. That alone was an incredible success for us. »

Whether it’s safer shipping through individual protection during the internal material flow or saving volume and simplifying the packaging process, the innovative bubble paper satisfies customer demand for a sustainable shipping option and a positive unboxing experience.
