It will highlight absolutely all areas where paper packaging is currently used — not an easy task. Such great demand is attributed to two factors at once: the environmental friendliness of the material (which has become especially relevant in the last few years) and the ease of use (after all, modern technologies allow you to create paper products that are completely incomparable to plastic products). And the huge variability of raw materials just affects the significant expansion of the area of its use.
Thanks to its features, wrapping paper began to be widely used not only in trade, but also in many production areas. Medicines, food products are packed in it, shops wrap dishes, mirrors, glass objects, and even factories pack furniture!
This material is really universal in application, which is why it is even thought that it will hardly be replaced by anything in the near future.
Advantages of wrapping paper
Paper protects well from dirt, dust, excessive moisture and sometimes even from some mechanical damage. But the most interesting thing is that this is far from all her virtues! The list of advantages also includes:
- versatility both when making gifts and when packaging products;
- availability of a sufficiently high level of strength, wear resistance and tear resistance;
- the possibility of secondary processing;
- the presence of excellent air permeability and preservation of the freshness of packaged products;
- susceptibility to 100% decomposition without release of toxic substances into the environment.
Well, the aesthetic appearance and pleasant to the touch texture also open up wide possibilities for the material in terms of design!
Kraft and wrapping paper: are there differences?
You have probably heard about both options, and probably did not understand why some people divide these two concepts. However, now we will try to give you an answer:
Craft.
You may hear another name for this material - "bag" paper. It consists of 100% cellulose and has a rough surface. Also, its characteristic differences are higher density, strength and greater resistance to tearing. The unusual appearance and small inclusions of fibers in such raw materials are more suitable for creativity, creation of gift envelopes, retro packaging.
Classic wrapping.
Such material does not have such good strength and density as kraft. Also, ordinary wrapping paper tears more easily. Its main function is packaging of goods or decorative design, and smoothness and uniformity (external) are considered characteristic differences.
Both that and the second type belong to the general name with the prefix "wrapping".
Each consumer can decide for himself which type of paper to give preference to when it is necessary to pack this or that product. But at the same time, it is important to take into account both the features of production and the characteristics of the selected type of cellulose products in order to avoid unpleasant consequences.
