Paper Thermoforming enables the production of precision-engineered packaging solutions made from formable paper for a wide range of consumer goods applications. The technology is particularly well suited for multi-cavity packaging designs, opening new possibilities for packaging concepts that have traditionally relied on plastic materials.
By combining heat, pressure, and advanced tooling technologies, stable packaging with outstanding dimensional accuracy and sophisticated geometries can be produced. At the same time, a wide range of barrier concepts can be integrated, from recyclable and compostable solutions to high oxygen and moisture barriers for sensitive products. Through seamless integration into existing filling lines, Paper Thermoforming enables efficient form-fill-seal processes and provides the foundation for scalable, cost-effective packaging production.
Packaging solutions Machine portfolioPaper Thermoforming enables the efficient and precise production of a wide variety of packaging solutions made from formable paper. The technology is particularly suitable for multi-cavity packaging and advanced packaging concepts that have traditionally been produced from plastic. Its exceptional design flexibility allows customized packaging concepts to be tailored to a wide range of product requirements.
Depending on product protection requirements, various barrier concepts can be integrated, ranging from recyclable and compostable solutions to high-performance oxygen and moisture barriers. Inline integration into filling lines enables efficient form-fill-seal production processes. Additional finishing options such as embossing, debossing, labels, printed tissue, or direct-to-shape printing create packaging solutions that combine functionality, product protection, and strong shelf appeal.
By integrating different barrier technologies, packaging solutions can be precisely tailored to the specific requirements of each product. From recyclable and compostable concepts to high oxygen and moisture barriers, the technology supports a broad range of product protection solutions. Paper Thermoforming combines functional performance with circularity, helping brands develop packaging solutions for global markets and diverse end-of-life 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.
