Molded fibre packaging products are widely used in handling and packaging various products as they protect the product during shipment and storage. Thermoformed molded fibre packaging gives customer convenience as they provide innovative and complex shapes. They are made of newspapers, natural fibers and other post-consumer products and are easily recycled, ensuring various environmental benefits.
