Anti-Slip Paper
Anti-slip paper is not a conventional interlayer – it is a friction-enhancing system component for active load unit securing.
While conventional interlayers made of corrugated or solid board primarily serve load distribution and protection, anti-slip paper provides measurably higher friction values between package layers through its special coating. This stabilizes the entire load unit and in many cases enables a reduction in stretch film and strapping.
Safe Pack offers anti-slip paper in various grammages (90, 110, 150, 220 and 300 g/m²) as cut sheets or on rolls – including automation know-how with sheet dispensers for integration into existing packaging lines.
The difference at a glance
Why SafeFlex® anti-slip paper?
VDI guidelines require interlayers – anti-slip paper is a high-performance solution.
Fewer damages, complaints and material consumption through stable load units.
More stable pallets, less rework and safer processes throughout the supply chain.
Fewer resources and less waste – a contribution to more sustainable packaging processes.
Relevant guidelines
Anti-slip paper as an interlayer meets the requirements of common standards and guidelines for load securing.
Cargo must be secured so that it cannot slip, tip over or fall off even during emergency braking or sudden evasive maneuvers.
Specifies the technical requirements from §22 StVO. Describes which forces act during transport and distinguishes between form-fit and force-fit securing principles.
Defines the load unit as a system of pallet, goods and securing system. The load unit shall be stable, reproducible and suitable for transport, storage & handling.
The role of the interlayer
The interlayer is a central component of the ready-to-ship pallet – alongside pallet, package, cover, securing materials and labeling.
Benefits of SafeFlex® anti-slip paper as an interlayer
SafeFlex® anti-slip paper holds the package layers together and prevents slipping during transport and handling.
The special coating provides measurably higher friction values between packaging layers.
Compared to corrugated board sheets, SafeFlex® anti-slip paper is significantly more space-efficient – 5,000 sheets instead of 650 corrugated board sheets in the same space.
The increased friction between package layers optimally complements stretch film and strapping, strengthening the stability of the entire load unit.

Anti-Slip Paper – standards-based load securing in practice
Load securing is not just a logistics issue but a legal obligation. Section 22 of the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) requires that cargo must be secured so it cannot slip, tip over, or fall off even during emergency braking or sudden evasive maneuvers. VDI guidelines 2700 and 3968 provide the technical specifications for these requirements.
VDI 3968 defines the load unit as a system consisting of pallet, goods, and securing system. The interlayer is a central component of this system. Anti-slip paper goes beyond the function of a conventional interlayer: it actively functions as a friction-enhancing component, supporting form-fit load securing.
