The right material depends on what you’re protecting and what matters most — unit cost, stacking strength, cushioning, or what happens to it after disposal. Below is where molded fiber replaces plastic and EPS, sector by sector — and why.
Consumer Electronics
Corner-protection and full-device trays that cradle housings, controllers, and cables — replacing EPS and plastic blister trays with a lighter, recyclable structure that still holds tight tolerances.
Automotive
Component carriers with repeating cavity grids and locating bosses — reusable and stackable at volume, cutting long-term packaging cost against single-use plastic dunnage.
Medical
Clean, precisely-walled trays for devices, vials, and instruments — meeting sustainability procurement targets without compromising the sterile, protective fit foam is chosen for.
Heavy Duty / Industrial
Thick-wall support structures for irregular, heavy parts — matching the strength of wood crating or EPS blocking at a fraction of the weight and disposal cost.
Cosmetic
Small-format trays with tight tolerances and mixed cavity shapes — a recyclable, premium-feel alternative to plastic clamshells that unboxes as well as it protects.
Roll Cradles (Wavesheet)
Wave-profile cradles that nest and stabilize cylindrical products — replacing die-cut foam inserts with a compostable structure that stacks just as securely.
Wine & Beverage Bottle Packaging
Partition-grid dividers sized to bottle diameter — protecting glass through transit while replacing styrofoam dividers with a curbside-recyclable structure.
Separators & Dividers
Flat, interlocking partition structures — a lighter, lower-material-cost alternative to cardboard or plastic dividers, with no outer tray needed.
Toy Industry
Custom cavity shapes for irregular, playful geometries — no loose foam beads or plastic film, just a recyclable structure that’s safe straight out of the box.
Fruit & Vegetable
Food-grade trays with cavity grids matched to produce size and weight — compostable and moisture-resistant, cushioning without adding to plastic waste.
Don’t see your industry here? That’s the point — if it needs protecting, we can probably mold it. Bring the product, and we’ll tell you honestly whether molded fiber fits.
