​For carrying the trend with style and responsibility. 

In our commitment to providing innovative, more sustainable solutions for the flexible packaging market, Lecta has developed a comprehensive, versatile range for carrier bag applications.

KraFit Bag ​is the new, brown option for the bags. It is a kraft paper made of 100% unbleached eucalyptus fiber with good resistance properties, designed for shopping and supermarket bags, e-commerce and other flexible packaging applications.

Coral Bag: uncoated white paper, with high printability and mechanical resistance properties, aimed to be used in carrier bags and flexible packaging applications that demand higher printing quality such as sepiolite sacks, etc.

Creaset Bag: one-side coated white paper, with high physical resistance to breakage and tearing, aimed to be used in bags and flexible packaging applications. It is a paper solution that allows the printed design on the surface to stand out due to its gloss effect.

Lecta's functional, resistant papers for bags are designed to adapt to any style and printing need, showcasing your brand's boundless and authentic creativity.

The entire KraFit, Coral and Creaset ranges are manufactured according to Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards, in compliance with ISO 14001 and EMAS environmental management, ISO 50001 energy efficiency, ISO 9001 quality and ISO 45001 occupational health and safety standards. They are also available upon request with PEFC or FSC® C011032 Chain of Custody forestry certifications.

By choosing Lecta's biodegradable, natural and fully committed to sustainability materials for carrier bags, brands not only stay on top of the latest trends, but make a positive contribution to a cleaner, more conscious future. Carry the trend with style and responsibility!
