Mondi fiber-based CompressWrap for mattress packaging

Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging, is partnering with Ekornes, the Nordic region’s largest furniture producer, to introduce an innovative paper-based packaging solution for wrapping high-end mattresses.

Ekornes is using Mondi’s re/cycle CompressWrap to securely wrap its mattresses and protect them during transport. The mattress packaging consists of two components: compress wrapping and secondary packaging.

For the first step, Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper 95/5 ensures durability and vacuum sealing during the compression process thanks to its thin coating layer. In the second step, the compressed and rolled mattress is secured with an outer wrapper made from Mondi’s FunctionalBarrier Paper Reduce, which offers excellent sealing properties to tightly secure the high-end mattress during shipping.

The new solution replaces Ekornes’ previous plastic packaging, offering an alternative that is made from fiber as renewable resource, and answering the growing consumer demand for more sustainable packaging.

This innovative paper-based mattress packaging allows consumers to easily unwrap the mattress without the need for a knife or cutter, ensuring a safer unwrapping experience.

As part of Mondi’s re/cycle portfolio, the company’s FunctionalBarrier Paper range is designed for recycling according to the 4evergreen ‘Design for Circularity Guidelines’.

Additionally, the new CompressWrap solution runs seamlessly on Ekornes’ existing machinery, making the switch from plastic to paper packaging both convenient and cost-efficient for the customer.
