Say goodbye to non-renewable packaging and protect your products with recyclable barrier papers. UPM’s unique barrier papers are made with fibres from sustainably managed forests. They protect your product without the need for a plastic coating and can be recycled with regular paper waste.
New! UPM Asendo Pro™
Recyclable packaging paper with advanced grease resistance and superior print quality
Depending on the end-use, you can choose protection from medium to advanced barrier properties, while ensuring a sustainable impact on the shelf. UPM barrier papers are safe for direct food contact and are free from fluorochemicals. They protect foodstuff and keep it fresh all the way to consumers’ kitchens.
Take advantage of the high strength properties UPM papers offer. All papers are designed for runnability in packaging line and can be further converted. Suitable for Flexo and Offset printing, UPM Asendo Pro also for rotogravure printing.
NEW! Introducing UPM Asendo™ Pro.
This two-side coated barrier material provides advanced properties to an easily recyclable monomaterial. Superior printing makes your brand shine, and advanced grease resistance and mineral oil barrier properties keep your product safe.
Through co-creation, UPM Asendo Pro can open the door to even more demanding applications and new end-uses. It is not only a fibre-based alternative, but a multi-functional platform with wide end-use potential.
We develop better performing, safe-to-use, more renewable and more recyclable solutions that offer our customers a competitive edge, with proven, industry leading reliability.
The story of fibre-based barrier material is only beginning. Let’s continue it together.
