The Navigator Company announced today that it will increase the price of all Packaging Papers by 4-7%, effective with orders shipping April 1st 2025 onwards.
The price adjustment is necessary due to the higher input costs essential for paper manufacturing, namely, but not exclusively, pulp and energy, which have experienced significant increases over the last months.
Under the brand gKRAFT™, Navigator is consolidating its position as a global supplier of high-quality kraft papers. With a comprehensive range fitting segments such as flexible packaging, bags, fill & form packaging and box applications, gKRAFT™ takes advantage of the specific molecular structure and morphology of Eucalyptus globulus fibres to deliver resistant and sustainable solutions that allow the usage of lighter weights delivering the same strength. Using 100% virgin fibres it is also the safer and healthier solution for applications that require contact with food and skin.
Eucalyptus globulus is 5 to 7 times more productive than Nordic Pine and requires significantly less wood (up to 40% less) to produce the same amount of paper. It also grows faster, enhancing carbon dioxide absorption, both at the tree and in the soil (30-75% of the total carbon captured by the tree remains permanently in the soil after harvesting). Additionally, research demonstrates this eucalyptus species supports more recycling cycles (2 – 6 times more, depending on the species). All together gKRAFT™ is the product of choice for brand owners that want to convey a fact-based sustainability position for their brands.
gKRAFT™ reinforces Navigator’s commitment to help accelerate the transition from plastic to natural, sustainable, recyclable and biodegradable fibres, demonstrating its commitment to sustainability and the preservation of the environment – “From Fossil to Forest”.
