Mondi, a global leader in sustainable packaging and paper, builds on its long-standing partnership with Pacapime Hungary to deliver high-quality corrugated packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables across Central and Western Europe.
Pacapime Hungary operates a 42,000 m2 corrugated production site in Mórahalom with an annual capacity of up to 180 million m2. The company supplies customers in Hungary, Romania, Croatia, Serbia and Western Europe, with a strong focus on fresh produce boxes for apples, pears, tomatoes and bell peppers.
Packaging for fresh fruit and vegetables requires reliable strength, durability and effective ventilation to protect produce during transport while maintaining attractive presentation at retail. To meet these requirements, Pacapime Hungary relies on Mondi’s ProVantage SmartKraft Brown containerboard grade.
ProVantage SmartKraft Brown features a 100% fresh fibre top ply, ensuring high surface integrity and consistent quality. Its strength properties support reliable burst and tear resistance, while consistent runnability and processing properties enable efficient production and dependable box performance.
“High-quality kraftliners are important in fresh produce applications,” says Tom Pissens, Managing Director at Pacapime Hungary. “The paper must consistently support box performance, as our customers rely on us to deliver quality packaging every time.”
Since 2024, Pacapime Hungary has been led by Lynn and Tom Pissens, representing the fourth generation of the family in the corrugated packaging industry. The company combines decades of expertise with a modern, lean production setup, enabling fast decision-making and flexibility, particularly during peak agricultural seasons.
The collaboration between Mondi and Pacapime Hungary is built on a long-term partnership approach, including close technical cooperation and on-site containerboard support. Joint trials, data-driven optimisation and continuous knowledge exchange help ensure paper choice and packaging solutions are fit for purpose and aligned with evolving customer requirements.
“Business is about people and long-term trust,” says Lynn Pissens, Managing Director at Pacapime Hungary. “Our collaboration with Mondi provides the stability and technical expertise that allow us to deliver consistent quality and drive innovation together.”
Sustainability is a shared priority for both companies. Pacapime Hungary has invested in water treatment systems, solar panels and transparent certification processes to meet growing customer and consumer expectations. Mondi’s full fibre mix containerboard portfolio supports circular packaging solutions designed to protect products while optimising material efficiency.
Through the combination of high-quality containerboard, technical expertise and long-term collaboration, Mondi and Pacapime Hungary provide reliable and sustainable corrugated packaging solutions that reduce food waste, create value across the supply chain and protect fresh produce from field to shelf.
