Custom-Molded Pulp Packaging

What is Molded Pulp?

Molded pulp is made by forming natural or recycled fibers into packaging that protects products without relying on more rigid materials. Custom-molded pulp packaging gives brands a practical way to move away from plastic trays. Molded fiber packaging can also be tailored in texture, finish, and color to support different product needs.

High Performance Green Packaging

Molded paper pulp packaging trays have quickly become a popular alternative to plastic trays and origami shaped paper inserts. Molded into custom shapes, and produced in a variety of colors and sustainable materials, pulp trays are a great choice for those looking for an engineered yet recyclable option to plastic or intricately folded paper inserts.

Hidden Figures

Molded fiber pulp packaging works behind the scenes to index and protect a wide range of products. Because these trays are paper-based, they allow the insert and carton to be recycled together in the same recycling stream. Paper overlays can be produced to match the graphics on the cartons creating a seamless look.

Dry and Wet Press

Molded pulp can be formed using a dry press method which is used for heavier parts that require thicker sidewalls or wet press if you’re looking for an ultra-smooth and refined finish. Color matching is available in addition to traditional natural, white, and black dyed parts.

Sizes, Shapes, and Branding

Pulp packaging material can be formed into trays, clamshells, bases and lids combos, and many other shapes. Silk screen options allow for branding opportunities directly onto the pulp parts. We can also design and manufacture full color matched paper sleeves or cartons to complete the look of this popular green packaging technology.
