Fiber Cosmetic Inserts
Where Luxury Meets Responsibility.
Beauty is changing - not only in formulae and design, but conscience. The new consumer does not simply purchase skincare, he/she purchases values. A study by the Deloitte India company (2024) suggests that 78% of Indian consumers of beauty prefer environmentally-friendly packaging, and approximately half of them are ready to spend more to get it.
This has prompted major cosmetic companies to go beyond plastic, foam and thermoformed inserts - to something classy, tactile, and sustainable.
Fibre based Packaging Cosmetic inserts by Fibmold come to the rescue there - an alternative of luxurious presentation with an innovative strategy of being planet friendly.
What are Fibre-Based Cosmetic Inserts?
The moulded fibre inserts of Fibmold are made of naturally occurring fibres such as Bagasse Packaging, bamboo and recycled pulp - which are moulded to a precision so as to retain the product safely in place and also to add beauty to it.
They can be used to substitute the traditional plastic or thermocol inserts that were used in:
Skincare kits
Perfume boxes
Makeup palettes
Beauty gift sets
Packaging of hair-care and personal-care products
Each of the inserts has been designed and formed, textured, and coloured to reflect brand aesthetics - providing the customer with an enhanced unboxing experience, as beautiful as it is biodegradable.
