Mondi expands its range of plastic free e-commerce packaging

Packaging Solutions


Mondi is increasing capacity for its paper based MailerBag range to further replace plastic packaging in e-commerce with a recyclable solution made of responsibly sourced renewable materials.



The innovative MailerBag is now available in three designs – with the flat bottom version complementing the existing range of pinch and folded bottom bags – as each one offers consumers user friendly packaging with multiple advantages. This includes easy closing for packing, expandability for bulkier goods, and easy resealing functionality for returns. The bags are made from kraft paper, a renewable material, and are completely reusable and recyclable. MailerBags protect products without transporting too much air, meaning less space in storage and transit due to their flexible properties. The bags can be used and shipped worldwide.


Mondi is investing in its European operations to improve and grow its services to customers, upscaling MailerBag production to approximately 350 million bags per year, responding to strong growth and customer demand for flexible packaging in e-commerce. When used to replace standard plastic mailers, this scale up in production has the potential to substitute approximately 7000 tonnes of plastic per year.


Thierry De-Vleminck, project manager MailerBag at Mondi, said: ‘The global market for e-commerce packaging was worth $49 billion in 2020 and it is expected to continue to grow strongly, driving demand for sustainable flexible packaging solutions. Retailers and logistics providers are rightly concerned about the impact this has on the world around us. Our aim at Mondi is always to create packaging solutions that are sustainable by design and work for the consumer, the customer and the environment – the MailerBag range does that, offering a sustainable, easy to use alternative.’
