Every product places unique demands on its packaging. While some applications require protection against moisture, grease, or oil, others need advanced barriers against oxygen and water vapor. Selecting the right barrier technology is therefore essential for product protection, shelf life, and packaging performance.
At the same time, modern packaging solutions must meet increasing expectations for recyclability, compostability, and regulatory compliance. By combining the right materials with the appropriate barrier technologies, packaging concepts can be developed that deliver the required functionality while fitting into established circular economy systems.
Technologies
The right barrier technology for your application
Not every application requires a high-barrier solution. For many packaging formats, protection against moisture, grease, or oil is the primary concern. With Prespray technology, Dry Molded Fiber and Paper Thermoforming solutions can be specifically equipped with these functional properties. Applied during the manufacturing process, Prespray creates the foundation for product-specific barrier concepts right from the start.
Typical applications:
When products are particularly sensitive to oxygen or moisture, high-barrier solutions become essential. Lamination enables the integration of high-performance barrier films into fiber-based packaging, creating the conditions for extended shelf life and reliable product protection. Depending on the intended disposal route, recyclable, compostable, or PPWR-compliant material concepts can be implemented.
OPTIMA offers a specially developed high-speed technology that can either be integrated into the OPTIMA FiberOne platform or operated as a stand-alone solution. The technology processes a wide range of film types, ensures consistently high lamination quality, and is suitable for demanding packaging designs featuring complex geometries or deep draw ratios. Various cutting technologies are also available to optimize the interaction between packaging and product protection.
Typical applications:
Some applications require specific surface characteristics or protective properties that are best applied after the forming process. Post-Spray technology enables targeted coating of packaging components, expanding the functional capabilities of fiber-based packaging concepts.
Our Post-Spray solutions allow sprayable coating materials to be applied precisely and uniformly. This makes it possible to add enhanced barrier properties or create specific surface functionalities tailored to the application.

For different products and protection requirements
Fiber-based packaging is currently transforming an entire industry.
But what’s behind it? Which technologies are ready for mass production, and where do the real challenges lie?
In the podcast Home of fiber – the future of fiber-based packaging, we dive deep into the world of fiber-based packaging. Our experts discuss technological breakthroughs, lessons learned from development and industrialization – and why the way we view packaging is fundamentally changing right now. Because suddenly, this statement rings true: Fiber is no more expensive than plastic.
A development that is changing a lot – and one that we explore from different perspectives in the podcast.
It’s worth a listen – for anyone who wants to know what Fiber is really capable of. And what’s coming next.
