🤎 "Brown Kraft" Decorative Paper Shavings - Economical 6 kg Pack for Professional Packing Lines
Paper shavings are finely cut strips of paper that serve as an protective and decorative filler for packaging. The brown kraft variant is made from unbleached, waste paper kraft obtained in a closed circuit - without dyes or whiteners. The warm, earthy shade of brown is associated with nature and craftsmanship, emphasizing the zero-waste philosophy. Strips about 4 mm long are light, elastic and antistatic, making them perfectly adapt to the shape of the product. The 6 kg bag (≈ 240 l when expanded) is designed for medium and large packing volumes - it helps to reduce the unit cost and the number of deliveries. The material is 100% biodegradable and recyclable ♻️.

🛠️ How are “Brown Kraft” chips made?
- Paper cutting – rolls of unbleached kraft are fed to the shredder, which precisely cuts them into 4 mm strips.
- Creping / corrugating – grooved rollers give a subtle zigzag, increasing elasticity and volume at low weight.
- Drying and dusting – the drying tunnel removes moisture, and filters trap dust, making the chips clean and hygienic.
- BigPack packaging – the chips are weighed into 6 kg bags of thick LDPE foil, partially vacuumed for a compact form.
