The requirements for packaging are constantly changing. Shorter product life cycles, smaller batches, and increasing environmental requirements demand flexible production processes.
Paperboard Forming enables the processing of a wide variety of paperboard materials without being tied to a specific supplier. The open system provides maximum freedom in the selection of barrier and coating technologies and supports the processing of PPWR-compliant and EPR-optimized materials.
Thanks to rapid format and design changeovers, new products, seasonal variants, or limited editions can be produced economically. Different geometries such as round, square, or oval packaging can be realized, as well as customized closure solutions and additional features.
The product is filled using the most appropriate dosing technology based on its specific requirements. Additional process steps such as vacuuming, gas flushing, and membrane sealing can be integrated as needed. The package is then securely sealed, ensuring optimum product protection and shelf life. This creates a flexible packaging solution for a wide range of products and applications.
The Paperboard Forming Technology enables the production of versatile paperboard packaging solutions for consumer packaged goods. From cups and cans to paperboard-based barrier containers, squeeze packs, and Desto and ISO cups.

Paperboard machine portfolio
The right solution for your requirements
The OPTIMA PaperOne machine family offers solutions for the production and sealing of paperboard cups and containers. From entry-level systems for standard applications to high-performance solutions designed for packaging with the most demanding barrier requirements, the portfolio covers a wide range of needs. Thanks to modular machine concepts, flexible material processing capabilities, and seamless integration into existing production lines, OPTIMA PaperOne systems enable the efficient and cost-effective implementation of future-ready packaging concepts.
The OPTIMA PaperOne Alpha is the ideal solution for the production of paperboard cups and containers in a variety of shapes and with different lid options. It is particularly suited for consumer packaged goods applications with lower barrier requirements.
By processing pre-cut carton blanks and featuring an optional hot-melt module, the system can also handle uncoated materials, providing maximum flexibility in material selection.
The OPTIMA PaperOne Pro has been designed for the production of high-quality paperboard cups and containers, including applications with demanding oxygen and water vapor barrier requirements. Thanks to its flexible material feeding options using either carton blanks or roll-fed material, combined with advanced ultrasonic sealing technology, it offers maximum freedom in material selection and packaging design.
The OPTIMA PaperOne Close provides reliable sealing of paperboard-based cups and containers. The system supports a wide range of packaging formats and lid concepts while meeting demanding requirements for product protection and barrier performance. Thanks to its flexible material processing capabilities and seamless integration into existing production lines, it enables efficient and continuous packaging operations.
Integrated line solutions connect all process steps of paperboard packaging production into one seamless system, from package forming and filling to sealing and end-of-line technology. This continuous workflow ensures perfectly coordinated production processes and delivers greater efficiency across the entire packaging line. A key efficiency advantage comes from the consistent inline production of containers: instead of transporting and storing pre-formed packages, only flat carton blanks need to be handled.
This significantly reduces logistics and operating costs while providing maximum flexibility for design modifications without delays caused by external sourcing. Product changeovers can also be managed reliably and efficiently. The result is a dynamic, cost-effective, and future-ready packaging line designed to meet evolving market demands.
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.
