Traditionally packaging inserts were made in one size. The plastic trays and foam blocks and generic fillers were selected based on convenience rather than suitability functionality and sustainability. The shortcomings of generic packaging were agonized with the increased sophistication of products and the increased complexity of their supply chain.
Customization has ceased to be a luxury in the current Indian market where the brands are competing over experience safety and Sustainable Packaging. It's expected. This is the reason why Molded Fibre inserts are fast replacing plastic in cosmetics pharmaceuticals electronics and FMCG packaging.
There are three big issues connected with inserting generic plastic:
UN Environment (2024) also reports that plastic packaging made of mixed materials is amongst the most difficult wastes to recycle particularly inserts placed inside boxes.
Inserts can no longer be an invisible substance as the brands shift to Sustainable Packaging. They are under scrutiny.
Fibre inserts are developed specifically as opposed to plastic inserts which are based on a standard mould.
Fibmold designs all of its inserts to fit:
This accuracy means that products are not in motion throughout the transportation process- no overfiller or secondary protection.
This is the reason why Fibre based Packaging is superior to plastic in terms of shock absorption and heavy logistics that involve vibration.
The cosmetic packaging is more of how it looks rather than how it is.
Manufacturers of the inserts in fibmold cosmetics allow:
Fibre inserts make the brand credible particularly among consumers who are sensitive to the environment as beauty brands are moving towards a position of natural and sustainable value.
This predisposes fibre inserts to fit in new packaging plans in high quality and export-focused cosmetics.
There is no room to make mistakes in pharmaceutical packaging.
The Fibmold Pharma Injectables Tray by Fibmold shows how fibre inserts can fulfil the rigid dimensional and manipulation demands- and minimise plastic consumption.
These trays support:
With regulators and world consumers demanding greener supply chains Eco-Friendly Pharma Packaging is emerging as a competitive requirement as opposed to a compliance activity.
Yes--when designed properly.
When used in the eco-friendly packaging of Electronics fibre inserts are superior to plastic because:
Fibre inserts will provide protection and sustainability without unnecessary complexity to brands that need an eco-friendly packaging box of electronic items.
Plastic inserts tend to spoil the recycling chain.
On the other hand fibre inserts can be inserted into:
This allows the brands to shift towards Zero Waste Trays and Recycled Fiber Trays strategies- more so in ESG reporting and export markets.
Fibmold is based on Bagasse Packaging that is made of sugarcane waste which is a renewable and locally available material in India.
Bagasse fibres offer:
This would suit them in Plastic-Free Trays and Earth-Friendly Trays in any industry.
It should have the ability to customize in a scalable fashion--or it will not sell.
The infrastructure of Fibmold makes it possible to:
This is to guarantee that custom inserts can be consistent between thousands-or millions-of units and is used across packaging of fmcg as well as regulated industries.
Packaging has ceased being about confinement. Customized fibre inserts in moulds indicate that protection sustainability and brand experience can be achieved- without either. With the
Indian industries shifting to responsible manufacturing the use of plastic inserts which are generic is rapidly becoming a thing of the past.
The future is of designed--not defaulted packaging.
