Is transitioning to high-volume fiber-based packaging a practical solution for the consumer goods industry?
Optima Packaging Group has completed the FiberOne Pro, a manufacturing platform designed to process Dry Molded Fiber and formable paper. The system integrates material preparation, forming, barrier application, cutting, and stacking into one streamlined operation.
Why it matters
This technology was developed to help manufacturers transition fiber packaging concepts into scalable, high-volume production. It aims to broaden the use of sustainable materials by protecting products from elements like oil, grease, and water vapor.
The system achieves a three-second cycle time with a forming tolerance of plus or minus 0.1 millimeters. It produces geometries reaching up to 120 millimeters in depth.
