Process
The main ingredients, starch and pulp, are mixed with water and injected into the mold.
Heat is applied simultaneously during molding to cause foaming and create a 3D shape.
At the same time, the moisture inside the material is evaporated, drying the product and completing the manufacturing process.
Key Features
-
Lightweight and Cushioning properties
PaperFoam® has excellent cushioning properties due to its foaming process. Additionally, its lightweight material properties (specific gravity is approx. 0.2) contribute to total weight reduction of packaging.
-
Securely fix products or components
Thanks to the molding process, PaperFoam® is capable of taking on a shape that perfectly fits to the product, providing a secure fit and effectively safeguarding it against shakings and vibrations during transportation.
-
Precise dimensional accuracy
It is possible to design an integrated tray by combining several packaging parts made of PaperFoam®, such as the lid and body, thanks to its precise dimensional accuracy.
-
Customized textures and colors
Products can be colored, textured and embossed in a wide range of designs.
