We are very proud of the terrific variety of eco friendly packaging products we have accumulated and offer our customers, but this may be the greenest product yet. We believe our Eco Flex Molded Pulp is the most versatile product available today and is the ideal product for many interior packaging, cushioning and even void fill applications.

Sustainable Packaging – Reality and Perception

One of the things that’s most appealing about molded pulp is that there are few products as universally accepted as being eco friendly. Molded pulp is instantly recognized for what it is – paper that has been recycled and molded into a usable and re-usable form. We are all familiar with it as custom molded edge or corner caps on fragile, expensive household products or even as soft drink carrier trays. This is a product that is as green as it looks and customers love it because it is so obviously eco friendly.  Molded pulp also has the added benefit of being very light weight so inbound and outbound shipping costs are minimal.

The down side of molded pulp packaging has always been the undeniable fact that someone has to create a steel mold to manufacture molded pulp and the tooling costs can be quite expensive. That has historically meant the only companies able to afford it and receive the many benefits molded pulp offers, are large volume manufacturers of products such as housewares and consumer electronics, or restaurant/food service suppliers.

What Is So Flexible about Globe Guard Eco Flex Molded Pulp Product?

It is available in stock sheets that are 13.5” X 11.5” X .75” thick and its unique waffle design allows it to bend or easily snap into forms that can be used for a variety of shapes and applications.

• We discovered it makes the ideal top and bottom cushioning product for heavy but fragile products including candles, jars and bottles. Combined with partitions designed with an air cell on the perimeter surfaces, Eco Flex Molded Pulp product provides protection on top and bottom, so even fragile cases of product are able to pass the most brutal drop tests. Think of it as dozens of little shock absorbers for your fragile products.

• It can easily be bent around a cylindrical product shipping individually such as a bottle of wine, olive oil, or any high value, fragile product and can be used to replace less eco friendly products such as bubble wrap or foam products.

• It can be cut and formed into a corner cap or edge cap to protect vulnerable surfaces that are likely to be damaged in shipment.

• Customers have even found that if separated into individual pieces, Eco Flex makes an ideal loose fill for heavy, high value items.

We Are about Sustainable Systems and Solutions, Not Just Green Products

Please keep in mind for some applications similar to the ones I describe above, especially if there is substantial volume, there may be be other packaging products we offer that could be better or lower in cost for you. I think I can comfortably claim few other companies have the wide range of eco-friendly protective, cushioning or void fill solutions we have. We can help you to determine what product, or combination of products may be best so as always, please call us to discuss your specific needs.
