Molded fiber packaging is a long existing technology, with primary applications in the field of protective packaging such as egg boxes, trays and electronics. Driven by the development of barrier solutions and the call for fiber based packaging, other packaging markets such as FMCG are now showing a lot of interest and start to adopt this new type of packaging.

As this new type of fiber packaging deserves a sustainable decoration method, MFL™ labels were developed. MFL™ label, a paper label, enables a strong fusion with the fiber molded packaging and is applicable to both dry and wet fiber molding.
