Customizable Shapes
Thermoforming technology allows for the creation of a wide variety of shapes. Recycled molded pulp products can be precisely designed to fit the specific dimensions and contours of the items they are intended to protect. For example, in the electronics industry, they can be shaped to cradle smartphones, tablets, and other delicate devices, providing a snug and secure fit. In the food industry, they can be molded into trays for fruits, vegetables, or ready - to - eat meals.
Shock Absorption and Protection
The cellular structure of the molded pulp provides excellent shock - absorbing properties. It can effectively cushion items against impacts during transportation and handling. This makes it an ideal choice for protecting fragile products, such as glassware, ceramics, and electronic components.
Moisture Resistance
Many recycled thermoformed molded pulp products are treated to have some level of moisture resistance. This feature is crucial, especially for food packaging applications, as it helps prevent the pulp from becoming soggy and maintains the integrity of the product and its packaging.
