A paper stand-up pouch for pasta with a transparent paper window, designed for recyclability
Fiorini International combines creativity, technical expertise and innovation to develop packaging solutions in response to evolving market and customer requirements. In the development of paper-based packaging, particular attention is given to material selection, packaging functionality and end-of-life considerations.
Fiorini International has developed a preformed paper bag with a transparent cellulose-based window, introduced on the Italian market by Girolomoni for its organic pasta range. The solution was designed to combine product visibility, packaging functionality and compatibility with paper-based packaging applications.
The special paper, made from 100% virgin fibre, offers printing performance and mechanical resistance suitable for the intended application. Its characteristics allow for high-quality graphic customisation in line with the brand and product identity.
The stand-up pouch features a large transparent cellulose-based window that allows consumers to see the product inside. The packaging has been developed with consideration for its recyclability within the paper recycling stream, subject to the applicable collection, sorting and recycling systems in the relevant market.
At the same time, the structure is designed to perform the primary functions required of the packaging, including product protection and preservation throughout its intended shelf life.
The solution developed for pasta demonstrates the potential of paper-based packaging structures with transparent windows for other dry food applications, such as sugar and flour, subject to the specific technical, barrier and product-protection requirements of each application.
Fiorini International applies its experience in paper packaging to the development of customised solutions, considering material selection, functionality, design and end-of-life aspects as part of the product development process.
