New food-grade coated kraft board aims to meet rising demand for sustainable, high-performance packaging solutions across food and beverage applications.
Chinese paper and packaging materials supplier Fuyin has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of a new food-grade coated kraft board, targeting the growing demand for sustainable and high-performance packaging solutions in the food and beverage sector. The development strengthens the company’s focus on paper-based alternatives as brands increasingly seek eco-friendly packaging materials that can replace conventional plastic-based formats.
The newly introduced coated kraft board is designed to meet food-contact packaging requirements while offering enhanced strength, printability, and barrier performance. The material is suitable for a wide range of applications, including takeaway containers, food cartons, bakery packaging, and other packaging formats that require resistance to grease, moisture, and handling stresses.
According to the company, the product combines the natural appearance and durability of kraft paper with specialized coating technology, enabling manufacturers to achieve both functional performance and attractive shelf appeal. The board is intended to support brand owners looking to improve sustainability credentials without compromising packaging quality or food safety standards.
The launch comes amid increasing global demand for fiber-based packaging materials as regulators, consumers, and brand owners push for reduced plastic usage and improved recyclability. Food-grade coated boards have emerged as a key packaging segment due to their ability to provide barrier protection while supporting recycling and circular economy initiatives.
Fuyin stated that the expansion reflects its commitment to innovation in specialty paper and packaging materials. The company continues to invest in products that align with evolving market requirements, particularly in food packaging applications where sustainability, regulatory compliance, and product performance are becoming increasingly important purchasing criteria.
