THE INNOVATION IN PACKAGING
PACKAGING AND SHIPPING WITHOUT PLASTIC

THE IDEA: SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING FOR PRINT PRODUCTS
With K-WRAP© we have found a sustainable and alternative packaging option.
With climate change, innovative and sustainable packaging methods are becoming increasingly important. Print products such as magazines are often shrink-wrapped in plastic film for shipping. They are sustainably packaged in paper using the new K-WRAP© packaging method developed by Kohlhammer | Druck. They serve as an ideal advertising platform, improve your corporate image and meet your climate targets more quickly. Of course, the Kohlhammer promise “Everything from a single source” also applies here. Especially when it comes to sustainability and innovation in the printing and packaging sector, we are by your side as a reliable partner.
Why pack with K-WRAP©?
- Environmentally friendly paper packaging
- Additional advertising space
- Sustainable and recyclable
- Versatile production options
- Positive for corporate image
PACKAGING WITH K-WRAP©
Discover the many possibilities of plastic-free packaging
Sending your printed products in paper packaging instead of the usual plastic-based packaging shows your customers that you care about the environment and are an ecologically-minded company. Thanks to our digital roll printing of your layout on the paper packaging, it offers an additional advertising space that can be sold and thus enables you to gain new advertising customers. K-WRAP© also offers the ideal platform for other advertising measures such as competitions, product placements, surveys through barcode integration or other creative ideas and thus a tool for brand building.

Printing & packaging
The paper web printed with your layout is pre-printed on our roll-to-roll inkjet printing machine. Your print media are aligned on the paper web and packaged by the packaging machine we co-developed.

Inserts & addressing
The inline insertion of up to six inserts and addressing directly onto the printed paper web as well as automatic bundling, including the insertion of bundle labels, are all part of the new system. Kohlhammer then takes care of shipping your products as usual.

DEVELOPMENT
“The environment plays a major role in my life and was the driving force behind my development.”
Climate change, global warming, smog in big cities, fish dying in the world’s oceans, forests dying, natural disasters. We are all confronted with this news every day. We all live with the effects and we can all do something about it together. We just have to make a start. As a print shop, we are aware of this responsibility and have long been concerned about environmental protection, because our environment is the future of our children and grandchildren.
