MONTSEGUR TISSUE PAPER: WRAPPINGS TO ENHANCE FINE GROCERY PRODUCTS

Montségur Paper Mills, a tissue paper manufacturer since 1840 in Drôme Provençale, belongs to the category of Living Heritage Companies (EPV). This company was the first paper mill to produce dyed-in-the-mass tissue paper under the impetus of one of France’s most famous florists in the 1960s. Under his influence, Montségur Paper Mills began producing high-quality colored tissue papers to enhance his bouquets.

Over 450 different colors are created on the last century-old machine still in operation in Europe, with around sixty available at all times, including five shades of metallic and pearlescent tissue paper.

This specialty has conferred upon Montségur Paper Mills its status as the premier French manufacturer of colored tissue and muslin paper.

Montségur Paper Mills thus produces high-quality thin papers. Sometimes called "muslin paper," they are dyed-in-the-mass, water-resistant, flame-retardant, and finished. Besides using the last paper machine over 100 years old, the company has its own printing workshop with modern flexographic presses and a conversion and finishing facility. About forty people are employed at Montségur.

The company’s expertise lies in producing dyed-in-the-mass, non-abrasive, and non-corrosive papers. The range of tissue papers is so vast that it can meet almost any graphic design code. The Montségur Paper Mills website allows customers to obtain tissue paper samples, consult the color chart, and request a quote.

Montségur Paper Mills’ tissue papers are referenced by numerous clients in the fields of cosmetics, perfumery, flowers, lingerie, leather goods, and all things related to gastronomy, from foie gras to macarons, jam jars to all kinds of preserves. These fine papers are not only aesthetic but also serve as protective and decorative packaging. On request, the paper mill also produces custom-printed papers. Thanks to a large stock, the paper mill can ensure very short lead times, with great flexibility and responsiveness.

Montségur Paper Mills are producers, printers, and converters of tissue paper for the packaging sector, among others. As a conscientious and responsible company, it pays particular attention to environmental respect. The paper mill is committed to providing quality service in a way that ensures a healthy and safe working environment for its employees while minimizing potential environmental impact.

It operates in compliance with all environmental laws and strives to use best practices in its activities. For example, the papers are made from virgin fibers from responsibly managed forests (FSC certification).

By continuously managing their environmental impact, Montségur Paper Mills strives to highlight their ethical practices out of respect for their customers. The company is recommended by Audrey Lorel, a culinary graphic designer who was notably present at the 2023 edition of Gourmet Selection.
