Zanders adds Zanbarrier OGR as first step in new barrier range

Zanders has developed Zanbarrier OGR specially for products containing fat, primarily in the food domain. It is uncoated, resistant to oil and grease, and moisture-proof. It is suitable for fast food packaging such as kebab or French fry wrappers, for butter wrapping, as release paper for fatty and moist food products or as lamination on pizza and bakery boxes.

Following the OGR product, Zanders is working on further barriers, including those dedicated for use with mineral oils, water and steam, or as aroma protection.

Jakob Jonsson, sales director at Zanders, explained: ‘Our decades of experience in the use of high-performance technologies for surface treatments has enabled us to test and implement all different kinds of barriers.

‘We can provide our customers with flexible and targeted solutions for their individual needs. With our high-performance barrier papers, we offer an environmentally friendly alternative to plastic packaging.’

With the barrier papers, Zanders said it has rounded off its product range of flexible packaging paper, which also includes the lightly waterproof, machine-smoothed natural paper Zankraft MF in matte, silk and gloss versions, as well as the Zanflex one-side coated qualities with a shiny surface.

As fresh fiber papers, all of Zanders’ packaging papers have a high level of purity and safety, making them ideally suited for the packaging of food such as cereals, sugar, flour, baking and confectionery goods, as well as soup packets or individually wrapped tea bags. Furthermore, they can be successfully deployed as packaging for pet food or tobacco goods, as gift wrapping paper, for shopping bags or for laminations. All flexible packaging papers from Zanders are sustainably produced and are FSC-certified, and are recyclable and compostable.
