Paper-based product protection can do more than just wrap. One example is LiKa Pack’s PaperJam Wraps: the raw material used is cold-sealable paper, which is processed by machine into a three-dimensional packaging structure. This creates a paper-based protective and cushioning material for packaging applications. We supply the technical base paper for this: BRANOseal KS. The single-sided coated paper surfaces adhere to one another when pressed, without sticking to the contents of the package. Furthermore, the material is suitable for machine processing. Would you like to know how this is turned into a cushioning material? We explain this below.

Key Facts About BRANOseal KS and PaperJam Wraps

  • BRANOseal KS is a plastic-free, one-sided coated kraft paper that adheres only to itself, not to the packaged contents.
  • Light pressure at room temperature is sufficient: No heat-sealing equipment, adhesive tape or strapping is required.
  • LiKa Pack uses machinery to convert BRANOseal KS into PaperJam Wraps, a paper-based protective and cushioning packaging material.
  • BRANOseal KS is technically recyclable according to CEPI Version 3 and can be disposed of through the waste paper recycling stream.

Cold-Sealable Paper: The Base Material BRANOseal KS

Cold-sealable paper features a coating that bonds under pressure alone. No heat is required. BRANOseal KS is a plastic-free, single-side coated kraft paper. The coating adheres exclusively to itself and not to the packaged contents. Even light pressure at room temperature is sufficient to securely bond two coated surfaces. Heat-sealing equipment, adhesive tape or strapping are not required.

We offer BRANOseal KS as unbleached kraft paper in four grades, ranging from basic to strong adhesive strength, with basis weights from 50 to 210 g/m². The paper is supplied in rolls with a width of 220 cm and a roll diameter of approximately 80 cm. Other roll formats are available on request. The coating also meets the requirements of FDA 175.105. We are happy to develop customized solutions upon request.

From BRANOseal KS to Paperjam Wraps Cushioning Material

Paperjam Wraps are a product developed and offered by LiKa Pack. We supply the base paper, which LiKa Pack processes into the finished product. This application demonstrates how BRANOseal KS, as a technical paper, can be converted into a finished packaging solution.

Machine Processing and Shaping of Coated Kraft Paper

At LiKa Pack, the coated kraft paper undergoes further mechanical processing. During this process, the paper is continuously shaped to create a three-dimensional structure. The resulting packaging elements are then stacked. The suitability of BRANOseal KS for machine processing and its uniform appearance provide a solid foundation for this type of application.

Flexible Protection and Cushioning

The three-dimensional paper structure can protect and cushion sensitive goods inside their packaging. It can be used for various product shapes and packaging requirements. For detailed information on the dimensions and properties of Paperjam Wraps, please contact LiKa Pack directly.

Benefits of Paper-Based Packaging Material with Cold-Sealing Technology

The main advantage is product protection: As a paper-based packaging and cushioning material, the shaped structure can help secure goods inside shipping cartons and protect them against impacts and scratches. The material is paper-based and contains no plastic coating (BRANOseal KS is plastic-free).

Another advantage is its ease of use. Instead of requiring extensive cutting or folding, the material can simply be placed inside the packaging or wrapped around the product. BRANOseal KS enables paper packaging without adhesive tape because the paper bonds to itself rather than to the packaged contents.

For shipping and e-commerce applications, this combination of protection, low weight and efficient handling can offer significant benefits. The paper-based material can be used as an alternative or supplement to conventional cushioning and protective packaging materials.

Suitable Products and Applications

Typical applications for Paperjam Wraps include sensitive and fragile goods that require paper-based cushioning material during shipping. Whether the solution is suitable for a specific product depends on its weight, shape and transport conditions. LiKa Pack will be happy to provide guidance.

BRANOseal KS itself is highly versatile and can be used for applications such as:

  • E-commerce shipping packaging as an alternative to plastic mailing bags
  • Scratch protection and cushioning for furniture or bicycles and motorcycles
  • Protective packaging for retail and logistics
  • Hygienic protection, for example on shopping cart handles

Paper is a renewable raw material and plays a central role in our environmental commitment.
