Mono-material Retention Pack

Mono-material retention packs securely fixes goods within a pack using only paper-based materials.

By using corrugated inserts, hexacomb fitments or self-sealing paper pack, we can prevent movement of pack content and absorb shock when shipping, ensuring your products are well protected all the way to their final destination.

As its name suggests, mono-material retention packs consists of only one basic material - Paper – which is FSC® certified, 100% recyclable and made from a renewable resource. Mono-material retention packs are therefore an environmentally friendly, high performance and cost efficient replacement for foam, bubble wrap and other loose fill.

Scelpack, our mono-material packaging which uses self-sealing paper, simply folds over the contents holding them securely within the pack to protect products during the final mile delivery. The contents cannot be reached without the recipient tearing the self sealing paper, making it a tamper evident pack as well.

By using mono-material packaging you can future proof your packaging from potential new legislation because it not only addresses the high expectations of consumers but is also easily recyclable.
