The packaging industry is undergoing a transformative shift, driven by growing demands for sustainable solutions that align with new regulations and consumer preferences. At the forefront of this change is Easysnap Technology dedicated to developing innovative single-dose packaging. One of its leading products, Papersnap®, embodies the company's commitment to sustainability, usability, and universal design. Papersnap® reflects the principles of the proposed Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) by the European Union, aiming to reduce environmental impact and promote recycling within the packaging industry.
Who Is Easysnap Technology?
Founded with the mission of revolutionizing single-dose packaging, Easysnap Technology Srl – part of the global flexible packaging company Gualapack - has developed patented solutions that combine functionality and sustainability. The company’s single dose Easysnap® packaging introduced a new way to dispense liquid and semi-liquid products using a one-hand opening technology, making packaging accessible and convenient for all users. Building on this patented design, Easysnap Technology created Papersnap®, a paper-based version of the original concept, offering even greater sustainability without compromising the user experience.

Universal Accessibility and One Hand Opening Technology
At the heart of both Easysnap® and Papersnap® is the patented one-hand opening technology. With a simple folding motion, the pack opens and dispenses its contents in a controlled manner, making it easy for anyone to use, including children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. This universal accessibility is a core principle of Easysnap Technology, making their products inclusive and functional for all users. This is particularly advantageous for on-the-go use, allowing consumers to enjoy products wherever they are without the risk of mess.
A Single Dose Designed for People and the Planet
Papersnap® represents the next generation of sustainable packaging. Made up to 85% of paper, it maintains the ease-of-use and practicality of the original Easysnap® concept, while being fully recyclable with standard paper waste streams. This environmentally friendly approach aligns with the objectives of the upcoming PPWR, which aims to make all packaging reusable or recyclable by 2030.
Unlike many single-use packaging options that often incorporate various components, Papersnap® is a one-piece solution with no detachable parts. This makes it simpler to recycle, contributing to a cleaner environment.
One of the standout features of Papersnap® is its focus on sustainability throughout its lifecycle:
- Recyclable Materials: Composed primarily of paper, Papersnap® is recyclable with paper waste, simplifying the disposal process and promoting responsible recycling practices.
- Reducing Packaging Waste: With no tear-off parts, Papersnap® generates minimal waste, aligning with environmental goals to reduce waste pollution.
- Food Waste Prevention: The single-dose format ensures only the required amount of product is dispensed, reducing food waste and providing a practical solution for portion control.
Versatile Applications Across Markets
Papersnap® is a versatile packaging solution that meets the needs of diverse market segments, including food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Thanks to its flexible filling range, from 0.1 ml to 30 ml, and its user-friendly design, it offers a wide variety of options for different products. Consumers can drink, pour, dress, or spread the product directly from the pack, providing an optimal experience for various uses.
