Gloss & Green® – a sustainable alternative to traditional metallization in premium packaging
Gloss & Green® (Trans-Met) by PAWI Packaging Poland transforms cartons with luxurious metallic effects—monomaterial, fully recyclable, and the perfect blend of premium look and environmental responsibility.
Increasing regulatory pressure, rising ESG requirements (Environmental, Social, Governance) and changing consumer expectations are reshaping the premium packaging market. Brands in alcohol, cosmetics, and food sectors seek technologies that combine high visual quality with environmental responsibility. PAWI Packaging Poland meets this demand with Gloss & Green®, part of its sustainable carton portfolio.
What is Gloss & Green®?
Gloss & Green® enables a premium metallic effect on carton without a permanent plastic layer, keeping packaging monomaterial and fully recyclable in the standard paper stream.
Why it matters
Traditional metallization relies on plastic lamination, creating multi-material cartons that are hard to recycle. Gloss & Green® separates plastics during production, leaving a homogeneous carton suitable for paper recycling and enhancing ESG compliance.
Brand communication
Brands using Gloss & Green® can credibly communicate plastic reduction, recyclability, and support for the circular economy, backed by real production processes rather than marketing claims.
A new standard for premium packaging
Gloss & Green® demonstrates that premium aesthetics and environmental responsibility can coexist, setting a new standard in design, quality, and sustainability.
