The Significance of “105”
The year 105 CE marks a pivotal moment in history—the birth of paper as we know it.
Over 1,918 years ago, Ts’ai Lun, a Chinese court official, revolutionized the world by recording the first-ever process of making paper. This ancient innovation used recycled materials such as fishing nets, bamboo, mulberry bark, and hemp.
Initially, paper was primarily used for recording information, a practice that spread rapidly across different cultures and civilizations. As its use expanded, paper began to take on new forms and functions.
Today, it is an indispensable part of our daily lives, used by billions of people worldwide for various purposes, including packaging.
Our name, "105 Packaging," honors this remarkable discovery and the enduring legacy of paper goods. It serves as a reminder of the timeless value of recycling and innovation, principles that are at the core of our business.
