01 — Specifications

Paper & Packaging

Specification-led paper grades sourced against a written technical sheet.

Paper is decided by grade, grammage, reel width and end use long before price enters the conversation. We work from the buyer's technical sheet and take the requirement to producers and established supply channels, rather than offering a fixed list of stock.

Sack kraft paper — unbleached

Machine-glazed sack grades from unbleached kraft pulp of northern conifers. Grade choice is driven by the filling line: porosity governs deaeration speed, extensibility governs how few plies the bag can carry.
