TruePaper – an alternative to plastic banding for packaging

Sustainability starts with the material. That’s exactly where TruePaper from ATS-Tanner comes in. Instead of plastic banding, a paper-based banding material is used.

TruePaper replaces traditional secondary packaging such as shrink film or additional cartons. A slim paper band securely holds products together. Stable, gentle, efficient and only as much material as truly necessary is used.

This has a direct impact on material consumption. Especially in retail, the food industry and e-commerce, this makes a big difference. Slim-bundled products require less space on pallets and in storage. This reduces CO₂ emissions across the entire supply chain.

TruePaper is recyclable and can be easily integrated into existing paper recycling streams. For end customers, disposal is clear and simple. Paper to paper. No need to separate composite materials. This increases recycling rates and supports a functioning circular economy.

TruePaper also offers design advantages. The band can be printed with product information, branding or variable data. It therefore combines the function of a label and packaging in one element. Two components become one. This reduces additional material and simplifies processes.

TruePaper promotes sustainability by consistently relying on environmentally friendly materials and transparent processes. Unnecessary additives are avoided. In addition, TruePaper is recyclable and supports closed material loops. As a result, less waste is generated.
