The MailerBAG represents a strategic move to capture a larger share of the e-commerce packaging market, which continues to prioritize sustainable and efficient shipping solutions.

Beyond e-commerce, Mondi's exhibit will include solutions for industrial and food applications. The company will showcase its Pasted Valve Bags, which offer exceptional application versatility and reliable protection for products ranging from building materials to food ingredients. These bags feature innovations such as film-free designs, a sifting-reduced inner patch, and Easy Seal and Easy Open functionalities. Additionally, the re/cycle FlexiBag, a pre-made mono-material flexible packaging for dry pet food, will be on display, highlighting its excellent barrier properties that keep products fresh while contributing to a circular economy.
