New Paper-Plug™ concept launched

Want a new carton that can be filled and re-closed without the need for any plastic fitments?

Adding to the leading position in fibre-based screw caps and lids, our Paper-Plug concept opens up new possibilities for convenient, low-cost and low-carbon packaging across food, home care and a broad range of future applications. Unlike traditional approaches that often rely on tear openings, separate plastic fitments or more complex assemblies, Paper-Plug™ is designed to integrate directly into board-based packaging structures, creating a new route toward highly functional renewable packaging solutions while maintaining simplicity and cost efficiency.

Consumers love convenience. By combining low cost fibre forming with direct integration into paperboard, the concept enables packaging formats that previously have often depended on glass, metal or plastic, while creating opportunities for new consumer experiences and new product architectures.

Paper-Plug™ is enabled by Blue Ocean Closures’ proprietary forming technology, developed to produce advanced fiber components with low energy consumption and at industrial speed. Potential application areas include:

Dry and frozen foods and ingredients
Supplements and health products
Home care and cleaning products
Refill and reuse systems
E-commerce packaging
Premium cartons and hybrid board formats
New convenience packaging concepts previously difficult to achieve in paperboard
