Dry food bags for tomorrow. Powered by knowledge.
Proven know-how
High performance
Broad portfolio
Low CO2 footprint
You might have the best flour, sugar, pasta or grain on the shelf. But the customer experience begins with the packaging. Your dry food bags have to be strong and light. They must handle high-speed filling, maximize shelf appeal and minimize environmental impact.
We help you make better packaging decisions – from sharing insights about consumer packaging preferences to evaluating and choosing the right packaging material. You get dry food bag materials made from 100% fresh wood fibers sourced from responsibly managed forests, as well as access to detailed product data, sustainability calculation tools and excellent technical customer service.
Billerud dry food bags are based on the Axello kraft paper product family, and produced in machine finished (MF) and machine glazed (MG) versions. The paper can be used for pre-made bags and form-fill-seal (FFS).

We work closely with brand owners, converters and machine producers, turning our knowledge into practical support – both in technical projects and directly in production to solve real challenges. This hands- on service gives you a competitive edge today and packaging prepared for tomorrow.
Durability that makes a difference
Billerud Axello, our brand for dry food bags, combines high strength and low weight for high-performance packaging. This reliable paper enables material reduction, lowers the carbon footprint and simplifies the switch from plastic. Consistent quality helps minimize defects and strengthen your brand image.
Give the right impression
On crowded shelves and in visually competitive online stores, appearance matters. With Axello paper’s excellent printability, you can make your dry food bags stand out and serve as powerful brand-building tools. We provide materials across three product categories, with 12 grades in multiple grammages. Choose between white or brown, uncoated or coated, machine finished or machine glazed.
Reduced footprint without compromise
Axello paper offers a lower carbon footprint than both plastics and other paper materials*. Its strength and low weight help reduce emissions across the value chain – without compromising product integrity, visual expression or food safety. Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are continuously added across the Axello range, providing verified data to support Scope 3 reductions under the GHG Protocol. You can easily compare our papers with alternative options.
