Introducing Ecova™
The Future of Heat-Sealable Paper
Today’s brands are seeking paper-based solutions that reduce reliance on conventional plastic while retaining the performance they need. That’s why Rapids has launched our innovative Ecova™ line of heat-sealable papers as an alternative to conventional plastic film packaging.
Ecova™ Papers Offer:
- Strong heat-seal performance
- Excellent print fidelity
- Natural, sustainable shelf impact
- A paper-forward alternative to traditional flexible film
Available in a range of basis weights and barrier options, Ecova™ expands what’s possible with paper, opening the door to pouches, wraps, and flow wraps that were once only achievable with film.
This is where heritage and innovation meet.
