Paptic Eco-friendly Finnish Paper
Develop truly recyclable plastic alternatives
What is Paptic Finnish paper?
Paptic is an innovative material developed in Finland to replace traditional plastics and offer more sustainable packaging solutions. It is made primarily from renewable wood fibres sourced from sustainably managed forests, and it offers plastic-like performance without containing conventional plastic components.
Paptic combines the natural feel of paper with the durability and flexibility of plastic, offering a lightweight, tear-resistant, foldable, and user-friendly experience. Compared to traditional plastic materials, Paptic has environmental advantages such as being renewable, recyclable, and biodegradable, thus being considered an alternative material that balances functionality and sustainability.
Through a unique fibre structure design, Paptic successfully blends some of the properties of paper, plastic, and fabric, making it suitable for a variety of uses such as shopping bags, e-commerce mailers, apparel packaging, and food packaging, offering brands and businesses a new option for reducing plastic use.
Paptic's properties
Paptic fully leverages the advantages of wood fibres to create materials that combine performance and sustainability, with the following key characteristics:
High strength and durability
Paptic boasts excellent tensile strength and tear resistance, capable of withstanding the pulling and weight demands of daily use, making it suitable for applications such as shopping bags, mailing bags, and various packaging products.
Flexible and lightweight
Compared to many traditional plastic materials, Paptic is lighter while maintaining good softness and flexibility, thus meeting the application needs of different industries and products.
A soft, papery touch.
Paptic combines the natural feel of paper with the soft texture of fabric, offering an improved user experience. It is particularly suitable for retail packaging and consumer product packaging, enhancing product quality and brand image.
Recyclable and biodegradable
In many regions, Paptic can be directly incorporated into paper recycling systems for reuse. Furthermore, the material itself is biodegradable, which helps to reduce environmental impact and support the development of a circular economy.
Excellent printability
Paptic® can be processed using existing printing equipment and standard commercial inks, including:
- Flexographic printing
- Offset printing
- Digital Printing
- Screen printing
Therefore, most paper bag factories, packaging factories, and commercial printing factories can introduce production without purchasing special equipment.
Good colour rendering effect
Due to Paptic®'s consistent surface and stable fibre structure, the colour saturation and resolution after printing are generally superior to standard uncoated kraft paper.
PAPTIC TRINGA 10KG TEST
Shopping bags made from Paptic Tringa typically have a carrying capacity of over 5–15 kg, depending on the bag design.
- Paptic Tringa bags are tougher, thinner, and more stylish than traditional cardboard paper bags. They also don't require an extra coating to increase their strength and water resistance.
- Compared to plastics (including certain materials containing plastic components), printing offers richer expressive possibilities.
- The feel is softer, more textile-like, and more premium.
Why is Paptic gaining attention?
It is precisely because Paptic possesses high strength, light weight, a soft feel, excellent printability, and good environmental performance that it has become a key choice for many businesses seeking sustainable packaging solutions.
This allows businesses to gradually reduce their reliance on traditional plastic materials, without sacrificing packaging functionality and performance.

The production process of Paptic
Paptic utilises a proprietary extrusion technology to integrate renewable wood fibres into the material structure, producing a new type of packaging material that combines the advantages of both paper and plastic.
Its innovative processes mainly include:
Wood fibre extrusion moulding technology
Through a special extrusion process, wood fibres are processed into a material with a paper-like feel and plastic properties. The final product not only retains the natural characteristics of fibre materials but also possesses excellent flexibility, durability, and processability, allowing it to be applied in various packaging fields.
Reducing environmental impact
Paptic's production process primarily uses renewable resources as raw materials and strives to improve energy efficiency to reduce the overall environmental burden. Compared to traditional plastic manufacturing methods that rely on fossil fuels, its production model aligns better with the concepts of sustainable development and a circular economy.
However, while Paptic emphasises the lower environmental impact of its process, current publicly available information regarding its energy sources, consumption, and greenhouse gas reduction data remains relatively limited. Further disclosure of such information would help to enhance transparency and more concretely verify its sustainability claims and environmental benefits.
Paptic Finnish paper is the answer to sustainable packaging
To meet the strict requirements of the brand
Paptic® material has a soft and high-texture feel, meeting brands' requirements for packaging appearance,High standards for touch and performance.The materials can be custom processed with folding, embossing, and glazing to enhance brand recognition and packaging quality. Commonly used basis weights are 70–110 gsm, offering both a high-end feel and sustainable, eco-friendly characteristics.
2. Biodegradable,
Recyclable and truly aligned with the principles of a circular economy
Paptic® fibre is fully biodegradable in an industrial composting environment, in accordance with the European industrial composting standard EN13432. Furthermore, Paptic® is recyclable together with carton board, allowing high-quality wood fibres to re-enter the circular system and be remanufactured into new packaging products, thereby achieving efficient resource reuse and circulation.
3. Paptic® has received multiple international certifications and awards.
Since its launch in 2016, Paptic® has received numerous awards and accolades worldwide. These honours span various fields such as premium packaging, sustainability, material innovation, and circular economy, fully demonstrating Paptic®'s excellent performance and market value as a next-generation packaging material, and also proving its immense potential in the future development of sustainable materials.
4. Renewable, efficient use of resources and excellent production efficiency
Paptic® is a recyclable, renewable material made from bio-based raw materials, primarily using wood fibres from controlled and sustainably managed Nordic forests, with FSC® forest certification options available. Furthermore, its manufacturing process effectively reduces water and energy consumption, while producing a material that is strong, lightweight, and thin. This helps to reduce resource consumption and costs during transportation, storage, and handling.
5. Longer lifespan
Due to Paptic®’s excellent durability, premium texture, and soft feel, consumers are more willing to reuse it, meaning its lifespan far exceeds that of typical paper products. The material itself is highly flexible, not only strong and resistant to folding but also easy to fold and carry in a pocket or handbag, combining practicality and convenience to further enhance its reusability value.
6. Processing can be carried out using existing production equipment
Paptic® can be printed using standard printing processes and commercially available conventional inks, without the need for developing special printing techniques or dedicated consumables. At the same time, the material can be converted directly on existing printing, bag-making, and post-processing equipment, significantly reducing the equipment investment costs required to adopt new materials.
Furthermore, Paptic® material is heat-sealable and can be processed and assembled using the same adhesives as those used for paper bags and luxury packaging. This means that companies can introduce Paptic® into their packaging processes without significant modifications to their existing production lines, thereby meeting the demands of production efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and sustainability.
