Packaging-On-Demand With Pre-Applied Heat Seal Coatings

The rapidly growing e-commerce trade requires efficient automation processes at fulfillment centers, whilst minimizing void fill. 

One solution is creating on-demand packaging with the use of a pre-treated and customized paper. These papers are equipped with a water-based heat seal coating, which is applied during the paper manufacturing process. At the fulfillment center the heat seal coating is activated, creating a perfect bond and tamper evident right-sized packaging structure. Gone are the times of manual packing and overpackaging, as Henkel’s pre-applied heat seal coatings enable reliable, high-performance automated packaging.

The coated paper is designed to fully comply with the defined requirements of the fulfillment center and has been shown to be recyclable in paper recycling mills.
