For decades, plastics like polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) have been the go-to materials in packaging, thanks to their versatility and efficiency.
But today, the landscape is changing. Growing concerns about carbon emissions, microplastic pollution, and stricter EU regulations are driving businesses to explore new solutions.
Traditional plastics, long used in a wide range of packaging, are now being reassessed as brands seek a balance between performance and sustainability.
This is where Fiber-Forming comes in. This pulp-based packaging solution is designed to meet modern demands while reducing environmental impact.
Why Choose Fiber-Forming?
Made from over 95% pulp fibers sourced from FSC certified forests.
Fully compatible with existing paper recycling systems for a circular, low-impact packaging solution.
The dry process enables water-free production, reducing energy use, and supporting efficient, large-scale manufacturing.
No drying process is needed, enabling fast, efficient, and cost-effective production.
Delivers excellent mechanical strength while supporting friction fit, threads, hinge design, embossing, and debossing.
Our packaging delivers a refined, natural look with a smooth texture that brings out the product’s quality.
The Materials Behind Fiber-Forming
Fiber-Forming is made primarily from FSC-certified pulp fibers sourced from responsibly managed forests. The pulp is first processed into a flat fiber sheet, which is then shaped into three-dimensional products through our proprietary forming and pressing technology.
Because the material consists over 95% of cellulose fibers, Fiber-Forming products are recyclable in standard paper recycling streams.
The material has also been tested for biodegradability in both soil and marine environments through certified third-party laboratories following recognized international standards.
For applications requiring additional functionality, such as moisture or grease resistance, post-functional coatings can be applied while maintaining a high renewable fiber content.
Circular Packaging Solutions for Every Industry
Fiber-Forming provides customizable, pulp-based solutions for diverse industries, meeting both functional and sustainability requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions
Molded fiber (also called molded pulp) is a manufacturing process in which pulp fibers are dispersed in water, formed onto a mesh mold, compressed, and then dried to create a three-dimensional shape. There are two main types of molded fiber production:
Dry molding: the formed product is dried while moving through a drying process, typically on a conveyor system.
Wet molding: the product is dried directly inside the mold, enabling a smoother surface finish and finer details.
Because both processes start with a water-based pulp slurry, a drying step is always required. As a result, energy consumption, production time, and manufacturing costs are influenced by the drying process.
Fiber-Forming uses a completely different approach.
Instead of a pulp slurry, Fiber-Forming starts with a flat pulp sheet supplied in roll form. The sheet is directly formed into its final three-dimensional shape using heat and pressure.
Because the material is already dry, no drying process is required after forming.
This enables:
✅ High-speed production
✅ Lower manufacturing costs
✅ Reduced energy consumption
✅ Lower CO₂ emissions during production
By eliminating the drying stage, Fiber-Forming combines the benefits of fiber-based packaging with the efficiency required for high-volume industrial production.
