Why engineers choose PulpGuard?

Lower tooling costs

Reduce development investment before serial production.

Thick protective structure

Designed for applications requiring enhanced cushioning such as high-gloss products.

PPWR – ready solution

Supports the transition toward fiber-based protective packaging.

Expanded design possibilities

Applications beyond traditional molded pulp solutions.

Faster validation

Accelerate packaging development and get to market quicker.

3D printed mold

Molds made by 3D printing enable fast turnaround and drastically reduce cost, making it ideal for small and medium series.

OUR PROCESS

Natural fibers

Renewable fibers are mixed with water to form pulp.

Molding

Pulp is poured onto the 3D printed mold.

Drying

Parts are dried to achieve strength and stability.

Finishing

Pressed, embossed, or raw finishes available.

Natural fibers

Lightweight, strong and soft packaging ready to ship.

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT

Comparable cushioning to Styrofoam, but plastic free.
Lighter weight, lower shipping costs.
Excellent product protection during transport.
Custom shapes, sizes and finishes.
Supports your ESG and plastic reduction goals.
PPWR compliant.

INNOVATIVE 3D PRINTED MOLDS

Lower cost. Faster delivery. Perfect for smaller series.

Molds/tools are 3D printed instead of machined or formed from aluminium.
Shorter lead time.
No minimum order for tooling.
Ideal for prototypes, limited editions, and small/medium batch productions.
