Lecta launches paper for grease-proof flexible packaging

Lecta has launched Creaset HGP one-side coated paper specifically engineered for grease-resistant product packaging.

With its superior grease resistance, it is suitable or demanding applications such as lamination for pet food bags and butter wrapping, where product protection and integrity are essential. It ensures the wrapped product stays fresh and protected without compromising quality. 

This grease barrier is also PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) free, making Creaset HGP a safer, more environmentally responsible alternative. 

In addition, Creaset HGP delivers high print quality across the three most common printing methods: flexographic, offset, and rotogravure.  

In terms of sustainability, Creaset HGP earns recyclability score of 95/100 from CEPI (Confederation of European Paper Industries) and Level A certification from Aticelca. These certifications highlight the paper's ability to be recycled efficiently within existing recycling streams, making it the suitable choice for manufacturers committed to protecting the environment and to sustainability. 

Furthermore, Creaset HGP is manufactured in accordance with ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental standards, ISO 50001 energy management standards, ISO 9001 quality standards, ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards, and FSSC 22000 Food Safety Management Systems certification. It is also available with PEFC or FSC C011032 Chain of Custody forestry certifications upon request. 

Creaset HGP along with Lecta’s Metalvac GP PFAS-free, provides grease barrier properties with a metallized finish. Together, they complete Lecta's new generation of papers for recyclable flexible packaging applications, offering a suitable solution for brands seeking high-performance, more sustainable and premium-quality materials.
