Sulfite paper is a type of white paper made from pulp produced using the sulfite process. It is incredibly versatile: in the food industry, it is used for bread bags, food-grade wrapping papers, and bakery box linings. It is also used as flower wrapping paper, tissue paper, gift wrapping paper, and in paper bags.
For food packaging, sulfite paper is particularly suited for non-greasy dry food items, but it can also provide short-term protection for greasy products. Since the paper lacks a protective coating, it is soft, flexible, easy to handle, and works well as wrapping paper for delicate materials.
Sulfite paper is an excellent choice for printed packaging material because its smooth surface ensures high-quality print results. It is also a more environmentally friendly alternative compared to many other packaging materials, as it is made from wood fiber-based sulfite pulp and does not contain plastic or harmful chemicals. Moreover, it is easy to recycle and reuse.
The paper weighs between 25–90 grams per square meter. Unprinted stock items are delivered in standard rolls or sheets, package by package.

The Carccu® story is one of Finnish entrepreneurship and a passion for finding the most efficient packaging solution to support our customers’ brands. The company’s current name is derived from the small village community of Karkku located near the Finnish town of Sastamala in the Rautavesi national landscape. Olli Borg, who is still involved in the company’s operations, assembled the first printing press at EPP-Pack Oy’s premises at the Karkku site in the 1980s.
