Sustainable Flexible Packaging

'LamiBak™ Flex' is the newest innovation from Ahlstrom, designed to meet the growing demand for eco-conscious packaging in the flexible materials sector. As an extension of the LamiBak™ product line, this high-performance base paper offers converters and brands a platform tailored for advanced processing methods like coating and extrusion—delivering exceptional barrier protection while reducing environmental impact.

Crafted from 100% responsibly sourced wood pulp and certified recyclable in the U.S. and Europe, LamiBak™ Flex significantly reduces the need for plastic and metallic packaging. It meets stringent regulatory standards and consumer expectations by being PFAS-free and naturally grease-resistant, with a structure that requires fewer coatings to achieve high-barrier performance. This innovation aligns with global sustainability goals by offering compostability options depending on regional standards.

By replacing traditional materials with LamiBak™ Flex, brands can minimize waste, reduce excessive primer use, and contribute to a more circular economy.
