Mondi, alongside its partner ROXCEL Trading, will showcase how paper packaging can support the sustainability efforts of branded goods manufacturers in the luxury segment. By 2030, Chinese luxury consumption is expected to reach 35%-40% of the world’s total, according to Bain and Company (2024). Along with this significant growth in China, a trend towards sustainability as a key consideration in luxury packaging worldwide is evolving. Mondi is ready to meet this demand with its high-quality, sustainable packaging materials to help brands meet these evolving consumer needs.
Mondi will premiere at LUXE PACK in Shanghai, from 9 to 10 April 2025, showcasing its broad portfolio of sustainable paper for high-quality luxury packaging. ‘We are delighted to participate in LUXE PACK Shanghai for the first time. The Asian market holds significant importance for Mondi, and we are excited to connect with partners and present our sustainable and innovative solutions alongside leading global brands and companies in this vibrant region,’ said Bernhard Cantzler, Marketing and Sales Director at Mondi Uncoated Fine Paper.
Sustainability is increasingly seen as a significant focus in the luxury market. Mondi recognises this and has established an ambitious sustainability framework with Mondi Action Plan 2030 (MAP2030) which sets out the actions, targets and milestones the Group needs to achieve to meet its 2030 sustainability commitments. Mondi papers, ideal for luxury packaging, are produced at the Austrian paper mill at Mondi Neusiedler using pulp from sustainably managed forests. All Mondi paper brands produced in Austria and Slovakia are Cradle to Cradle Certified® at the Bronze level, ensuring adherence to circular economy principles. Mondi also holds Platinum status in EcoVadis’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ratings, placing the Group among the top 1% of global companies assessed.
At the Mondi stand, brand owners can find out about the possibilities offered by the PERGRAPHICA® range, for example, to convey their brand identity through its special look, feel and colour scheme. PERGRAPHICA® ensures a lasting effect. Even the first touch is an experience for the senses. The range of visual effects extends from striking to elegant.
PERGRAPHICA® delivers consistently high print quality suited for special finishing techniques such as hot foiling, embossing and laser engraving. It also boasts excellent converting properties, including impeccable creasing and folding. PERGRAPHICA® includes three shades of white with excellent colour reproduction. Additionally, there are 31 delicate, saturated, or dark colours available, with grammages ranging between 90 and 400g/sqm. The most recent addition to the portfolio is a grammage specifically required for perfume packaging: 350g/sqm available for PERGRAPHICA® Classic Rough and PERGRAPHICA® Natural Rough.
IQ BOARD, an uncoated premium virgin fibre board, is also an interesting option for packaging applications. It is ideal for highlighting the contents of luxury items, cosmetics and high-quality hygiene products. IQ BOARD is optimised for smooth processing during printing, finishing and filling. The smooth, natural feel emphasises striking packaging designs. It is available in the shades of high white and ivory, with grammages from 250 to 400g/sqm.
In Shanghai, Mondi is also showcasing a unique-looking packaging paper: IQ GRASS + PACKAGING, which can be printed in high quality not only by flexographic printing technology but also using offset printing in all grammages. This paper, made from up to 30% style grass fibres combined with FSC™ or PEFC-certified fresh fibres, is a real eye-catcher. The raw materials used give the paper a unique structure and fibre appearance. Each sheet has its own grain, making every package unique. Available in grammages between 80 and 350g/sqm, IQ GRASS + PACKAGING can be finished with hot foil stamping and embossing for a high-quality feel. Mondi is also presenting its other sustainable brand portfolio, including NAUTILUS®, Color Copy, BIO TOP 3®, and DNS ® at the trade show.
