BAFATEX laid scrims make paper packaging, tissue and VCI papers tear-resistant and form the window of potato and fruit bags, also from natural fibres.
To the product advisor →In food and retail packaging, a laid scrim combines low weight with tear resistance. As a window, it lets air reach the goods and shows the contents.
An open laid scrim, for example made of polyester filament or cotton, forms the net window in the paper bag. Proven types are BAFA 180/15 and BAFA 125/15.
An embedded scrim reinforces the handle zone and base of paper carrier bags, where the highest loads occur.
The scrim stabilises paper trays and moulded parts so that they keep their shape during filling and transport.
Heat-sealable scrim strips can be applied directly to paper or board with heat and pressure.
Dyed laid scrims are made into decorative gift packaging and ribbons.
A laid scrim makes paper more tear-resistant and durable without making it noticeably heavier. Scrims made of cotton, flax, jute, hemp or sisal are suitable for paper packaging without any plastic content.
An embedded scrim reinforces mailing envelopes and paper bags at the edges and corners, where they tear most often.
Laminated between two layers of paper, the scrim increases the tear and puncture resistance of the laminate.
In tissue and thin papers, the scrim holds the material together even under load.
Reinforced papers for sterile packaging are made by paper converters and therefore belong in this segment. BAFATEX agrees material specifications on a project basis.
Heavy, sharp-edged steel parts puncture unreinforced paper. An embedded laid scrim makes VCI and barrier papers tear- and puncture-resistant in several directions, with minimal additional weight.
The scrim is embedded between kraft paper and PE coating; the VCI coating faces the metal part.
Reinforced paper withstands the edges and corners of machine parts during wrapping and transport.
Bar stock and tube bundles are wrapped in reinforced paper that does not tear during handling.
For long transport routes, reinforced VCI paper combines corrosion protection with mechanical strength.
An open laid scrim, for example made of polyester filament or cotton. It combines ventilation and product visibility in one window. Proven types are BAFA 180/15 and BAFA 125/15.
Yes. BAFATEX produces scrims from natural fibres such as cotton, flax, jute, hemp and sisal, which are suitable for paper packaging without any plastic content.
Heavy, sharp-edged steel parts puncture unreinforced paper. An embedded scrim makes the paper tear- and puncture-resistant in several directions. It is lighter and flatter than PP tape fabric and therefore saves plastic per square metre, in line with the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR).
Yes, during PE extrusion coating or adhesive lamination the scrim is incorporated in one step.
Yes, in addition to standard binders BAFATEX also offers food-compliant binders. Suitability is agreed on a project basis.
