What is monomaterial packaging and why is it trending?
The concept is simple yet powerful: designing a product using a single type of material.
In corporate stationery and packaging, when both the bag and the handle are made of paper, the entire item becomes a 100% recyclable waste stream that is easy to manage.
For the luxury sector, this is a clear statement of intent:
Brands no longer just sell a product.
They convey a coherent environmental commitment from initial design to the end of the package's lifecycle.
Knitted paper cord: "Luxe" aesthetics without compromise
Textile engineering applied to paper makes it possible to develop solutions that easily match traditional fibres:
High-density knitting & braiding: The PALUX series by LIASA uses technical knitted paper cord technology to offer visually sophisticated finishes and a tensile strength of up to 18 kg per handle.
Tactility and feel: Provides a uniform, soft touch that elevates the unboxing experience.
Full customisation: Available in standard colours (white, black, and natural kraft) as well as custom developments for specific branding projects.
It allows brands to adapt to market needs by providing tailored solutions for every project.
From the recycling bin back to the production cycle
The key competitive advantage of using FSC® certified knitted paper cords is consumer convenience: the entire bag can be placed directly into the paper recycling bin.
Being 100% biodegradable and recyclable:
The handle reintegrates into the paper recycling process without requiring costly separation steps.
It ensures the shopping bag remains fully consistent with a Zero Waste strategy.
Luxury that leaves no trace
Monomaterial packaging is not a passing trend; it is the new standard for responsible retail. Replacing textile handles with technical knitted paper cords allows brands to:
Meet their ESG goals (Environmental, Social, and Governance).
Maintain the elegance and exclusivity their clients expect.
At LIASA, we guide brands through this transition, proving that sustainability is the true luxury.
