Protection through fiber structure — not through plastic

In many packaging applications, foam or plastic inserts protect sensitive products from transit damage. The fiber molding inlay by Scafa Thermoforming replaces these petrochemical materials with a purely natural alternative: the interlocking cellulose fibers of the fiber molding structure form an elastic network that effectively absorbs impacts and vibrations while keeping the product precisely in position.

Particularly in the electronics industry, fiber molding inlays are increasingly being used as a sustainable alternative to EPS and foam inserts: for smartphones, tablets, wearables, peripheral devices, and kitchen appliances. The natural anti-static properties of the cellulose fiber provide additional protection for electrically sensitive components.

In the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry, the fiber molding inlay excels with its precise contours that securely hold fragile flacons, tubes, and spray bottles without damaging the delicate surfaces. The natural appearance of the inlay underscores the premium character of sustainably positioned brands.

Since fiber molding inlays are placed into the outer packaging without adhesive or additional fastening elements, integration into existing production lines is straightforward and cost-effective. After use, the inlay can be disposed of in the waste paper stream or even composted — a powerful argument for environmentally conscious consumers. Made in Germany by Scafa Thermoforming.
