Stand‐up pouches are one of the fastest growing packaging concepts, which are replacing the traditional packaging formats. Pia Willberg‐Keyriläinen and her colleagues produced stand‐up pouch prototypes from cellulose fatty acid coated heat‐sealed virgin kraft paper with leak proof seals. Cellulose ester coatings significantly improved the barrier properties of virgin kraft paper and the resistance against tested nonpolar oil and grease compounds. The results demonstrate that cellulose fatty acid ester coatings have high potential in future applications requiring good barrier properties. DOI: 10.1002/app.46936 .
