The paper inlay from Scafa replaces plastic inserts in folding boxes and cartons with a sustainable, fully recyclable solution — precision-fit, dimensionally stable, and 100% plastic-free.
Wherever products need to be securely positioned inside a folding box or shipping carton, thermoformed plastic inserts have traditionally been the go-to solution. The paper inlay from Scafa Thermoforming offers the completely plastic-free alternative: molded paper insert parts that precisely hold, protect, and present your product — without a single gram of plastic.
Production takes place using the ScaPAP process from cardboard and cellulose materials. The paper inlay is precision-fit to the contour of your product: whether convex cavities for cosmetic bottles, angular compartments for electronic components, or multi-part inlays for product sets. The dimensional stability is designed so that the insert can support several stacked packages above it.
Since paper inlays are fully recyclable with paper waste and can be disposed of together with the folding box, consumers no longer need to separate and sort plastic parts. This is a genuine added value in customer communication — and a measurable step towards sustainable product packaging.
Paper inlays are particularly suited for industries that focus on a premium unboxing experience: cosmetics & perfume, premium food, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and luxury goods. We produce your paper inlays from economical minimum quantities with short delivery times from Germany.
