From the first quarter of 2014, Plastique will be manufacturing thermoformed pulp products with paper smooth surfaces on both sides.
These products will be manufactured under the name ‘Fibrepak’, a sub-brand of Plastique.
Using pulp fibres in water suspension, the production equipment will produce the latest form of thermoformed thin walled pulp packaging, the highest quality products available today.
The process which uses “Cure-In-The-Mould” technology produces well defined, smooth surfaced moulded pulp products which have a high tolerance and are accurately formed.
Basic colours using food safe pigment dyes will be available.
Plastique will be on Stand A42 at Packaging Innovations.
