Syntegon wins German Packaging Award for sustainable tablet packaging
Once again, the German Packaging Institute has honored us with the German Packaging Award. The jury was impressed by the sustainability and good functionality of the paper-based packaging solution “Blister Meets Paper,” which is also designed to appeal to health-conscious and environmentally aware customers in terms of its feel and appearance. We developed the innovative blister packaging together with the Finnish packaging material manufacturer Huhtamaki.
New unique system for tailor-made Shaped Paper Pods
With a TPU paper forming, filling and sealing machine from Syntegon and BillerudKorsnäs 3D formable FibreForm® paper, a new solution for sustainable paper packaging has now been brought to market. Shaped Paper Pods offer a packaging system for uniquely shaped and optimally sized packaging, with a look and feel reflecting the brand and product content.
Syntegon develops paper-based food packaging as part of EIT Food project
As part of an EIT-funded project, we have developed paper-based trays and cups for sensitive food products. Together with partners from industry and research, namely the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging in Dresden, Colruyt Group, Strauss Group and the University of Reading, we are implementing the EIT project “PACK4SENSE” (paper packaging for SENSitive foods) to develop a sustainable packaging concept.
Syntegon Technology and SABIC launch joint packaging concept for frozen food packaging
Together with SABIC we have developed a sustainable packaging concept for the frozen foods industry with the potential for substantial material reduction. The concept is based on our new PHS 2.0 sealing technology and SABIC’s 20-micrometer biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE) film.
Strategic Partnership with Koehler Paper Group
In close cooperation with the Flexible Packaging Paper Division at Koehler, we have validated and created a pilot for a new stand-up pouch made of paper (Doy paper bag).

Confectionery and flexible plastics go together like a horse and carriage – or at least they used to. Times are changing, and so are the materials that chocolate bars are wrapped in. Today, consumer goods companies are looking for more sustainable materials. Mars Wrigley is investigating the flow wrapping potential of paper while currently conducting large-scale testing at a major German food retailer.

ALB-GOLD Teigwaren was the first pasta producer in Germany to present its short pasta in sealed paper packaging. In stores since November 2018, the paper bags have been a great success – both with customers who want to reduce their exposure to plastic, and with retail stores that are actively trying to offer products with less waste and a reduced environmental impact.

Consumer and manufacturer demand for environmentally friendlier packaging has never been greater. Recently, Mondelēz International approached us with a challenging request: to package their Cadbury chocolate bars in fully recyclable paper flow wraps.

Together with Austria-based Wolf Nudeln, we have developed an alternative to packaging pasta in plastic bags. In the packaging process, sealing material is only applied to the sealing areas, after the formed paper bag has been filled. The result: less than 5% sealing material is used, allowing the packaging to be recycled in the paper waste stream.
