Paper bags used for dry food packaging need to be strong, food-safe and sustainable. This is why the purity of the 100% fibre-based Billerud Axello paper is an even more perfect match than plastic – and a solution that satisfies the demands of modern conversion and filling processes.

Pure and strong bags for dry food packaging

The Billerud Axello range of pure, strong paper is tailor-made for bags produced in demanding processes. When the end product is paper packaging for flour, sugar, pasta and grain, it must be approved for food contact, have a low weight and allow high-speed filling. Axello is made of 100% primary fibres and delivers on all counts.

Ideal for single-ply paper-packaging concepts up to 10 lbs (5 kg)

The strength of Billerud Axello® allows brand owners to switch from 2-ply to 1-ply paper bags – without making compromises in strength or durability. This not only improves economy as less material is needed for each bag. It also lowers delivery costs and improves sustainability since the packaging solution becomes lighter (so called “lightweighting”). Another big benefit is that fewer paper reels need to be transported to and warehoused at the filling facility.
