Fibre-based material supplier Ahlstrom-Munksjö has launched a new sustainable confectionary paper line.

Called Delicitera Confectionary Papers, the safe-to-use sustainable food packaging papers offer enhanced shelf presence with various visual and functional benefits.

Ahlstrom-Munksjö food packaging solutions business unit vice-president Jeff Murphy said: “Our confectionary papers are made of responsibly sourced natural fibres, are safe for direct food contact and really provide customers unique solutions to help them meet their sustainability goals.

“We have recently broadened our portfolio to include transparent papers and papers for applications requiring great print quality, allowing brand owners even more inventive options to consider if they are looking to reduce their use of plastic and enhance the overall customer experience.”

Based in Helsinki, Finland, Ahlstrom-Munksjö manufactures speciality papers for bakery, fast food, cheese, sweets, microwave popcorn, fruits and vegetables, and pet food markets.
