Sweden-based BillerudKorsnäs offers FibreForm, a proprietary, natural, renewable, Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)-certified paper that can be 3-D formed. The packaging material gives brand owners, converters and packaging designers the ability to create unique shapes and formed designs that go beyond the capability of traditional papers. The material is strong enough to be used in applications traditionally reserved for plastic, glass or metal.
“FibreForm is extremely strong and puncture resistant,” says Gary Robinson, director of business development for BillerudKorsnäs. “We use only virgin materials, which provide greater strength.” Plus, they make the packaging safe for direct food contact. The material can be used in laminates to create solutions for high-barrier, peel-seal or biodegradable applications.
