FIBREFORM: CREATIVITY BEYOND LIMITS
After years of development BillerudKorsnäs now offer a cost-effective and environmentally sound alternative to plastic called FibreForm - the first 3D formable (stretchable) paper. It's opened up the door to a number of possible applications. One of the most innovative is FibreForm Packaging's FreeFormPack solution.
Unique packaging possibilities
Eco-friendly, food-friendly, stretchable and mouldable. In a pioneering collaboration, BillerudKorsnäs has developed a product that offers unique properties. This paper made of 100% primary fibres can be bent and stretched like no other.
The sides of the package can be macro formed - micro forming changes the intimate details of the body of the package. On top of this, it lends itself to exciting 3D designs. Its form and feel open up new possibilities for creative packaging - just as it offers owners of individual brands the potential for outstanding shelf impact.
Thinking outside the box
BillerudKorsnäs has not only developed this new sustainable material. The company has gone further to challege how we look upon processes within the packaging industry by proposing a totally new system for forming, filling and sealing products. The result is a highly cost-efficient supply chain process from reel to reel.
A printable and more eco-friendly alternative to plastic that can be used on existing thermoforming equipment to produce things like trays used in the packaging of foods.
FibreForm allows for an ever-growing range of truly customisable 3D, fibre-based, packaging solutions.
Innovation beyond paper
The FibreForm Packaging joint venture aims to assure the control of both the manufacturing process and sales of complete packaging solutions, including paper, the moulding machine and service. It facilitates the entire packaging process for brand owners - and the timing seems to be just right. Many brand owners are offering organic and eco-friendly products and are pushing to find sustainable packaging solutions for their products.
FibreForm Packaging
FibreForm Packaging was founded in 2013 in Norrköping in Sweden. It offers a complete inline form-fill-seal packaging system, called the FreeFormPack, based on two ground-breaking technologies, the FibreForm mouldable paper and the PAM/BOM moulding machine, originally from partner Curti.
