FACHPACK 2025 – Premiere for Glassine by SiOPack®

🌍 FACHPACK 2025 – Premiere for Glassine by SiOPack®
Round cans with parchment paper windows – as transparent as plastic, 100% recyclable in the paper stream.

The premiere at FACHPACK 2025

At this year’s FACHPACK, together with our partner Optima, we unveiled a genuine innovation:
👉 the first retail cans with viewing windows made from parchment paper – finished with Glassine by SiOPack®.

The response to this innovation was overwhelming: round cans that reveal the product inside while being fully recyclable via the paper stream. With this, parchment paper becomes a serious contender to replace plastic in transparent packaging.

🌱 Recognised with international sustainability awards

Our premiere at FACHPACK was not only met with great enthusiasm by visitors – it has also received international recognition.

👉 On 17 November 2025, Glassine by SiOPack® will be honoured with the prestigious Green Apple Environment Award at the House of Lords, London.
👉 The technology has already been awarded the Green Brand Award – another strong signal that SiOPack® is setting new benchmarks in sustainable packaging solutions.

This officially confirms what we are already experiencing in the market: our solution combines sustainability, innovation and practicality – and is setting new standards in packaging.

Why this innovation matters

  • ✅ 📦 100 % plastic-free – recyclable in the paper bin
  • ✅ ⚙️ No additional processing effort – the barrier can be applied afterwards using flexographic printing
  • ✅ 📑 Versatile – suitable for various grammages, already tested in pilot series

Particular attention was drawn to our plastic-free drinking cups 🥤 – a topic that, from 2026 onwards, will become even more relevant in many European markets due to regulatory requirements.

But this is only the beginning. 🚀

Next development step: The All-in-One Barrier

And this is just the beginning. We are already working on the All-in-One barrier, which

  • integrates an oxygen barrier into parchment paper,
  • significantly increases transparency
  • and opens up new opportunities for product protection, shelf life and on-shelf visibility.

Brand owners and leading discounters have made it clear: this is the solution needed to make private-label packaging more sustainable, more visible and more protective.
As it stands, the barrier can also be applied via flexographic printing. Converters could therefore retrofit parchment papers themselves – independent of the paper mill.

👉 This creates a unique combination of transparency + oxygen barrier – something that conventional parchment papers have not been able to offer until now.

✨ This innovation creates the opportunity to bring even more products to market in future without plastic – with SiOPack® as the key technology.

Looking ahead

FACHPACK has made it clear: The future of packaging is paper-based, visible and plastic-free.

 

We would like to thank Optima, OEMs and manufacturers for the inspiring conversations at the exhibition.

 

The positive response to our cans and cups motivates us to continue the next steps with determination:

 

• 🥤 Food segment packaging
• 📦 Transparent packaging for food & non-food
• 🌍 Paper-based solutions with global impact

 

👉 Will plastic-free viewing windows and cups soon become standard in packaging – complemented by an All-in-One oxygen barrier?
We are already working today to make this future a reality.
