Dry Molded Fiber
Setting a new world standard for packaging
It’s not the material, or the machine or even the product. It’s a quite brilliant idea, and a revolutionizing technology that turns ordinary pulp into any rigid, three dimensional products, using almost no water. And it’s fast.
What
is Dry Molded Fiber?
The simple solution to an unnecessary problem
Plato said, “Our need will be the real creator”, and we invented Dry Molded Fiber on exactly that premise — the need for responsible packaging applications.
Like all ingenious innovations, Dry Molded Fiber was that logical next step. Forming fiber into packaging using water is tried and true, but when you rely on water use, you increase environmental and social impact. We managed to take almost all the water out of that equation, which means cost efficiency and shorter cycle times that can compete with production of single-use plastic.

Why
you should 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 form rigid, three-dimensional products from cellulose fiber that requires almost no water.

STAY IN SHAPE
Dry Molded Fiber fits into current systems
The technology’s unmatched forming capabilities enable product features like undercuts, snapfit, denesting, and stacking is no problem.

HIGH OUTPUT
Enabling competitive unit economics
Dry Molded Fiber forms cellulose in a unique way and beats other fiber methods when it comes to speed, cost and quality.
