This eco-friendly and food-friendly paper is already being used for inline form-fill-seal packaging system called the FreeFormPack.

FreeFormPack is based on FibreForm moldable paper supplied by BillerudKorsnäs and PAM/BOM forming machine provided by Curti. It allows designers and brand managers to create unique shapes and forms.

"The FibreForm can transform the traditional folding cards with embossing features."

The paper allows customisable 3D designs on packaging and it can be used on existing thermoforming equipment to produce trays used in the packaging of foods.

According to the firms, the new form of material is also cost-effective for sustaining the supply chain process from reel to reel that involves forming, filling and sealing products.
