Che cos'è un imballaggio in pasta stampata?

A molded pulp packaging, also referred to as molded fibre packaging, is a type of packaging material that is made from recycled paper products, for instance newsprint, cardboard and other paper-based materials. The manufacturing process of pulp packaging starts with mixing paper fibres and water. These can then be formed into specific shapes and sizes using a mold. Afterward, the mold is dried and hardened, resulting in a lightweight and eco-friendly packaging material. This can be used for a wide range of applications. This type of packaging is made from recycled paper or natural fibers, designed to be environmentally friendly and biodegradable. It is commonly used for products like egg cartons, beverage carriers, and protective packaging for electronics.

The benefits of pulp packaging

The molded pulp packaging is a modern material that is used across different industries. In this section, we will briefly list the most important benefits of this type of packaging.

Sostenibilità

Moulded pulp packaging is a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials. This traditional type, that is mostly made from plastic, causes the most pressing environmental issues. Research shows that plastic is polluting our waters and wildlife, which also negatively impacts human health. This world-wide problem has helped to push the demand for fibre pulp packaging. It is a material that can easily be recycled after its useful life. Over the years, from 1960 to 2018, the recycling rates have grown from 17 percent to 68 percent.

It can be personalized

As this packaging type is made from recycled paper, cardboard or other fibrous materials and then molded into the desired shape, it can easily be formed to wish. It is a strong, lightweight and biodegradable product, suitable for every type of output. Not only is it affordable, but also highly versatile, which makes it usable for creative packaging. Choose your own packaging design, and our machines will create the complex three-dimensional shapes. Sharp angles are, however, not feasible: our molded pulp packaging always has rounded corners due to the forming and pressing tools of the molding machine. This does create a smoother and more stylish looking packaging.

Extra protection

Next to the visual advantage of pulp packaging, it is also a strong and protective type of packaging. Not only beneficial for the customer, but also useful when being transported: it can be subjected to various impacts, drops and vibrations. The protective moulded pulp packaging will help to absorb these forces and prevent damage to the product.
