About Kühn Papierverarbeitung
Klaus Kühn GmbH & Co Papierverarbeitung KG is a medium-sized family company in Berlin-Buckow and has been active since 1972 as a manufacturer of gusseted envelopes, board-back envelopes and special sleeves for the shipping sector. Products manufactured include gusseted envelopes with a block-bottom design made of paper and composite material from 100 to 300 g/sqm as well as the U-Pack bubble mailer, made entirely of recycled paper and recycled board. Production takes place on 15 machines that the company develops and builds in-house; this allows individual customer requirements and custom-made products to be implemented quickly and precisely. The product range includes e-commerce shipping envelopes with a cross bottom, production with up to two hot-melt adhesive applications, flexographic printing in up to two colors, inside printing, window film, and sealing in film. The customer orientation focused on tailored packaging solutions has led to continuous growth with several plant expansions (1989/1990, 2002, 2011).
