Seaman Paper has introduced a new line of heat-sealable, curbside recyclable paper packaging solutions.

The FSC-certified (FSC C102652) products are designed to replace single-use plastic bags, the US-based specialty papers manufacturer said.

As per the company’s statement, the new offering integrates “sustainability, durability and efficiency”.

Brands can adopt this without needing to modify their existing equipment, the statement added.

The new solutions come in different substrates, weights and formats to suit various applications and converting equipment.

They are compatible with most original equipment manufacturer form-fill-seal and horizontal flow-wrapper equipment.

The line includes translucent, kraft and opaque constructions, available in flat sheet and heat-sealable tube options.

Seaman Paper chief strategy & commercial officer Dave Deger said: "Our customers are under increasing pressure to eliminate plastics while maintaining operational and functional performance.

"With our heat-sealable line, we are delivering a recyclable packaging solution that integrates seamlessly with existing equipment – helping businesses and brands achieve their sustainability goals without compromise."

In December 2024, Seaman Paper partnered with Nexgen Packaging to expand their presence in the retail, apparel and footwear industries globally, combining Nexgen’s sustainable paper-based products with Seaman’s fibre-based packaging alternatives.

Additionally, in May last year, Seaman Paper collaborated with PulPac, a developer of dry-moulded fibre (DMF) technology, to explore opportunities in personalised packaging.

The partnership focused on creating customised DMF packaging options using coloured and patterned barrier crepe paper.
