Dry Molded Fiber
Setting a new world standard for packaging
A groundbreaking technology that transforms ordinary pulp into packaging products – using minimal water and drastically reducing energy consumption, all while being up to ten times faster than traditional methods.
What
is Dry Molded Fiber?
Fiber was always the best alternative – we just made it better
Like all great innovations, Dry Molded Fiber was the next logical evolution. Traditional methods of forming fiber into rigid packaging rely heavily on water and energy. We’ve managed to take almost all the water out of the equation, resulting in greater resource and cost efficiency and significantly shorter cycle times – making it a viable competitor to single-use plastic.

aspects of
Dry Molded Fiber process
Main resource is generic and available worldwide
Start with pulp
The pulp is milled and fibers are air-laid into a dry web
Mill-to-web
Barriers are applied to meet product requirements and intended use
Apply barrier
Products are formed using heat and pressure in standard plate press with uniquely designed tools
Mold into product
All excess material is fed back into the process
Recycle waste
Why
should you consider Dry Molded Fiber?
BECAUSE IT MAKES NOTHING BUT SENSE
Unit cost, scalability, and responsibility
There is an alternative for manufacturing packaging products with lower environmental impact available right now. It meets the requirements for versatility, output, affordability and legislation — wouldn’t that be an obvious choice for a new packaging standard?
Dry Molded Fiber uses generic pulp to form almost any three-dimensional packaging product. We based our technology on well-proven systems and made some improvements. It’s unmatched in design possibilities compared to traditional fiber forming, and it matches plastic processing on both price and cycle times.
What is in a name?
Dry Molded Fiber is exactly what it says
A technology to produce fiber-based products using almost no water.
ZERO EXTRA STEPS
Crafting innovation in one stroke
Dry Molded Fiber enables product features like whole punching, hinges, embossing, debossing, color and print, in-mold labeling, and more – in one stroke.
HIGH OUTPUT
Enabling competitive unit economics
With a cycle time down to 3,5 seconds (PulPac Modula), Dry Molded Fiber is up to ten times faster than traditional fiber forming methods, offering high output and competitive unit economics.
