Mondi launches extended corrugated and solid board portfolio for the food packaging industry

With this development, Mondi offers one of the most comprehensive ranges of food packaging on the market – from corrugated and solid board solutions to a full range of flexible packaging. This expansion enables Mondi to support customers in meeting evolving consumer expectations, EU regulations and the growing demand for sustainable, convenient and stand-out packaging.

Responding to key industry trends

Mondi’s extended offering is designed to address the most important trends shaping the food packaging industry today:

• Lightweighting and smaller portions – optimised material use, smaller packs and lighter, high-performance fibre-based materials for consumer convenience.
• Retail Ready Packaging (RRP) and point-of-sale displays – solutions that improve brand recognition, enhance shelf visibility and ensure efficiency in packing and replenishment processes.
• Sustainability – packaging designed to be 100% renewable or recyclable, in line with EU directives such as the PPWR, supporting circularity and meeting the packaging eco-design requirements for retailers’ private-label brands and manufacturers’ own brands.

“The food sector is undergoing rapid change, with sustainability targets, EU legislation and shifting consumer behaviours all driving new requirements for packaging. By expanding our portfolio, we can help customers respond to these trends with solutions that are lighter, more sustainable and optimised for shelf appeal,” says Paulus Goëss, Chief Operating Officer Corrugated Solutions, Mondi.

A full corrugated and solid board portfolio

Mondi’s expanded food packaging portfolio now covers:

• Fresh produce – ventilated trays, boxes and stackable trays as part of Mondi’s Grow&Go portfolio, and octabins for efficient transport.
• Meat, poultry and seafood – high-strength trays, leakproof boxes, sleeves and wraps for product safety, shelf life and branding.
• Dairy – ventilated trays, multipacks and sleeves for safe refrigerated transport and visibility.
• Frozen food – solid board boxes with high-quality printing for shelf visibility and sustainable deep-freeze applications.
• Snacks and confectionery – shelf-ready packaging, customised POS displays, trays and hoods, multipacks, wraps and innovations such as TwinBox.
• Beverages – multipacks, wraparounds, trays and clips for PET bottles such as Mondi’s Hug&Hold innovation, and TankerBox for bulk transportation.

Across all these sectors, Mondi also provides eCommerce packaging solutions for online grocery shopping, combining smart designs with various bottom and closure options, practical inserts, and easy-to-open, easy-to-carry features.

Extended regional supply and capabilities

By integrating Schumacher Packaging’s facilities, Mondi has strengthened its European footprint, leading to greater production flexibility and regional supply reliability. Supported by accredited Food Safety and Performance Labs, Mondi delivers tested and customised solutions that enhance product safety, performance and shelf appeal. The company also operates ThinkBox innovation hubs, where technical experts and customers collaborate on packaging design and process optimisation.

With a broad range of digital, flexo and offset printing technologies, Mondi can meet a wide variety of customer requirements. As one of the first in the industry, Mondi has extended its six-colour digital printing for corrugated packaging to include white ink, reflecting the growing demand for white digital printing on brown substrates.
