Barrier Paper.
Food packaging is no longer just about protection, storage and transportation. The focus is on waste prevention, replacement of plastic, circular economy and use of sustainable raw materials. What is needed are paper-based solutions that protect the environment and consumers. Solutions such as our innovative barricote barrier papers for flexible packaging, with their combinable barriers against water vapour, grease / oil and mineral oil migration.
Our barricote® products are not only paper-based but also recyclable. We rely on water-based coatings and a high proportion of biodegradable ingredients. At the same time, our barrier papers are 100% free of plastic films, extruded polymers, laminates, fluorocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons and optical brighteners. Whether pouches or wrapping papers - barricote protects foods and consumers. Environmentally friendly, sustainable and safe.
We offer barrier papers from 44 to 82 g/m², which can be used for pouch packaging (LINER) or as wrapping paper (WRAP). Our barricote papers are characterised by the following common features:
- Paper products made from virgin fibres
- Water-based coatings for combinable barrier functions
- 100 % free of plastic films, extruded polymers or laminates, fluorocarbons (PFAS and PFOS), chlorinated hydrocarbons (PVDC) and optical brighteners (OBA)
- High content of biodegradable ingredients
- Recyclable in the waste paper cycle
- Reverse side offset and flexo printable
- FSC or PEFC certified
Barricote LINER MG (82 g/m²) is particularly suitable for pouch packaging (primary and secondary packaging) of dry and greasy foods and is characterised by these specific features:
- Combined barrier against
- mineral oil migration (MOSH / MOAH)
- grease / oil (KIT Level 12)
- Good heat-sealability
- Protective function not reduced by further processing
- Certified seawater decomposability
- Complies with the 95/5 regulation
Barricote WRAP WG (44 g/m²) is the ideal wrapping paper for dry and greasy foods and offers the following special product features:
- Combined barrier against
- water vapour
- grease / oil (KIT level 12)
- Excellent freshness effect
- Hot melt glueable
- Particularly high proportion of renewable raw materials
- Excellent release effect
- Certified seawater decomposability
It goes without saying that our barricote barrier papers have multiple certifications:
- Direct food contact (e. g. BfR XXXVI)
- ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, ISO 50001
- INREKA, DIN EN 15593
- FSC or PEFC
No wonder that leading brand owners, retail companies and packaging manufacturers rely on barricote.

BAGS AND POUCHES
Barrier papers with excellent heat-sealability for pouch packaging of food and non-food products (LINER MG). The intelligent alternative to film packaging made of PE, PP or BOPP film. Barrier papers for glued bag and pouch packaging (WRAP WG).
WRAPPING PAPERS
Wrapping papers for food, for instance such as burger, bread, sausages or cheese. Due to the barriers and the very good freshness effect the food stays in shape and fresh - everything is well protected (WRAP WG).

As a sustainable material, paper is the ideal basis for food and non-food packaging. We use a high proportion of biodegradable ingredients in the manufacture of our barrier papers. All barricote products are recyclable and therefore ideally suited for the circular economy.
Innovations such as barricote are possible because of our many years of experience in coating various speciality papers. We have six different coating technologies available for the application of many different functional, protective and barrier coatings, including multiple and double-sided coatings.
We use water-based barrier coatings. Our curtain coater technology enables us to apply highly effective coatings in an extremely uniform way. Safely and accurately. In this way, we create innovative barrier papers that not only efficiently protect packaged goods but also consider aspects such as environmental responsibility and sustainability.
