Flexible packaging wax paper is a type of packaging material that is often used as an alternative to traditional plastic packaging for certain applications. It consists of paper with a coating of wax, which is used to provide a barrier to moisture, air, and grease, making it suitable for packaging of a variety of food items such as candies, cold cuts, cheese, and pastries. This packaging is appreciated for its ability to maintain the freshness of the contents by acting as a protective layer, while being easier to dispose of and sometimes more sustainable than pure plastic options. Wax paper can also be employed in non-food applications such as in the packaging of certain industrial parts where a grease or oil barrier is beneficial.
The flexible packaging wax paper market operates alongside other plastic packaging options, offering a complementary solution where biodegradability, compostability, or specific material properties of wax paper are preferred. Despite the prevalence of plastic, wax paper packaging continues to hold a niche due to its specific advantages in certain market segments, including food service and household consumer use.
Some notable companies in the wax paper packaging market include Reynolds Group Holdings Limited, Sierra Coating Technologies LLC, The Griff Network, and Dunn Paper, Inc. These players are involved in the manufacturing, distribution, and innovation of wax-coated paper products, catering to a diversified client base that seeks the unique properties of wax paper for their packaging needs.
