Insights

Ranpak's integration of PaperWrap into its product lineup represents a strategic expansion in the sustainable industrial packaging space. The solution directly addresses a major sustainability gap in logistics operations where plastic stretch film has long dominated pallet wrapping.

What makes this development particularly noteworthy is the comprehensive approach to implementation. The three-tiered product offering (semi-automatic, fully automatic standalone, and fully automatic line integration) demonstrates a sophisticated go-to-market strategy that accommodates varying operational needs and automation levels.

The environmental credentials are impressive and quantifiable – 62% lower greenhouse gas emissions compared to virgin plastic and 49% lower than film with recycled content. This data-backed sustainability advantage provides Ranpak with credible differentiation in conversations with sustainability-focused procurement teams.

IKEA's early adoption in Europe serves as powerful validation, potentially accelerating North American adoption among sustainability leaders. The efficiency claim of one reel wrapping up to 750 pallets suggests operational economics that could support competitive pricing against traditional plastic alternatives.

This partnership enables Ranpak to address the complete packaging lifecycle in warehouse operations, extending its sustainability proposition beyond just protective packaging and into unitized load security – a critical expansion of its addressable market.

This product launch positions Ranpak to capitalize on the significant gap in end-to-end sustainable logistics operations. While many companies have adopted paper-based primary packaging, the unitizing and securing of pallet loads has remained heavily dependent on plastic films – representing a substantial sustainability contradiction in otherwise greening supply chains.

The partnership structure is particularly shrewd – rather than developing the technology internally, Ranpak gains immediate access to a market-proven solution with established production partnerships (Mondi Group) and reference customers (IKEA). This dramatically accelerates time-to-market while leveraging Ranpak's established distribution and customer relationships in North America.

The operational flexibility across three automation tiers demonstrates sophisticated market understanding. Semi-automatic units allow for lower-cost entry points and minimal workflow disruption, while the fully automatic line integration systems cater to high-volume operations requiring seamless throughput.

From a supply chain strategy perspective, this addresses the increasing pressure on logistics operations to report and reduce Scope 3 emissions. The one-to-one replacement of plastic stretch film with a recyclable paper alternative represents a clearly measurable sustainability improvement without disrupting established operational patterns.

For Ranpak specifically, this expands their value proposition from primarily protective packaging to now include load unitization – positioning them as a more comprehensive sustainable packaging solutions provider capable of addressing multiple touchpoints in customers' operations.

PaperWrap – green by orange – GmbH (“PaperWrap”), based in Europe, has developed a portfolio of paper pallet wrapping machines in partnership with the Mondi Group. Instead of retrofitting existing plastic stretch-wrapping machines, PaperWrap’s machines are designed from the ground up to optimally utilize the mechanical properties of Mondi’s Ad/Vantage StretchWrap, a recyclable*1 kraft paper that can stretch and resist punctures. These properties make it ideal for replacing plastic stretch film used for pallet wrapping.

PaperWrap offers three models to suit customer automation needs: semi-automatic stand-alone units, fully automatic stand-alone machines, and fully automatic line integration systems. All these solutions help reduce carbon footprints and support circularity goals. Mondi’s Ad/Vantage StretchWrap has 62% lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions when compared to virgin plastic stretch film, and 49% lower GHG emissions when compared to plastic film made with 50% recycled content, according to a peer-reviewed independent life cycle assessment. Customers can seamlessly integrate the ideal solution into their operations, ensuring a perfect fit based on warehouse layout, ergonomics, and throughput demands. PaperWrap offers proven technology that has already been adopted by a number of customers in Europe including IKEA.

In addition, PaperWrap represents the future of eco-conscious logistics. With its innovative wrapping machinery, integrated with Mondi’s high-strength, puncture-resistant and tension absorbing kraft paper, PaperWrap enables companies to eliminate plastic without sacrificing performance. One reel of Ad/Vantage StretchWrap can wrap up to 750 pallets offering an efficient and sustainable alternative to plastic stretch film, proving that packaging innovation can drive both environmental and operational excellence.

“At Ranpak, sustainability is at the core of everything we do,” said Omar Asali, Chairman and CEO of Ranpak. “This new partnership with PaperWrap represents a significant milestone as we continue to evaluate the most sustainable materials possible and deliver resources that will help businesses transition away from single-use plastics. Together, we are driving the future of sustainable packaging and creating a positive impact for generations to come.”

PaperWrap’s integration with Mondi and Ranpak’s portfolio of industry-leading packaging solutions offers businesses a comprehensive approach to transitioning to a more sustainable pallet wrapping process. Together, this partnership is not just meeting current demands—it’s driving an entire industry forward by transforming the way goods are securely packed, transported, and protected in a circular economy.

“To successfully introduce PaperWrap machines to the market, it is essential to involve the right partners,” says Jurre Hesseling, responsible for sales activities at PaperWrap. “We have found this partner in Ranpak. From our very first conversation, it became clear that we share a common vision and ambition in the field of circularity. Our collaboration is a critical step toward addressing the challenges of a sustainable industrial packaging future. We see immense opportunities to make a difference together through innovation, design, and reducing carbon footprint—helping more customers in a sustainable way and empowering more people to reduce their environmental impact.”

In addition to PaperWrap, Ranpak will showcase other industry-leading innovations, such as our brand new Print’it! on-demand printing technology, and our recently announced collaboration with Rabot, an advanced Vision AI platform, at ProMAT 2025, demonstrating its continued commitment to shaping the future of sustainable packaging.
