The e-commerce sector continues to boom, which benefits manufacturers of corresponding packaging solutions. For sensitive goods, shipping bags with air cushioning are often used, but these are frequently made from paper and plastic. In cooperation with a French mailing bag manufacturer, Raja is now presenting a solution that consists entirely of paper.<\/strong><\/p>

The paper manufacturer Raja<\/a> will be offering 100 per cent paper bubble envelopes and embossed envelopes from February 2023. This packaging can be recycled and is just as robust as its plastic or dual-material counterparts (paper with plastic film). Raja has been the first company to offer them in France since February 2023 and will be offering them throughout Europe from March.<\/strong><\/p>

The envelopes produced by Cepap La Couronne in the French department of Charente are a plastic-free alternative to two widely used solutions in the field of e-commerce packaging<\/strong> represent: Bubble bags, which enable items to be shipped safely, and plastic bubble bags, which protect products inside parcels.<\/p>
