100% Recycled & Recyclable Packaging
MFT-CKF specializes in designing and manufacturing environmentally responsible packaging solutions made from 100% recyclable molded pulp / molded fiber material. Whether you are looking at traditional molded pulp interior protective packaging or our specialty retail packaging with high aesthetic appeal that conveys a “sustainable” cachet, we can fulfill your needs.
MFT-CKF uses proprietary equipment that can manufacture deep draw designs with steeper draft angles than typical molded pulp manufacturers. This technology along with our extensive design experience allows us to create packaging solutions that can replace expanded polystyrene (EPS) and other materials that are less friendly to the environment.
As a material and a process, molded fiber is an excellent protective packaging medium. The inherent flexibility of molded pulp offers substantial cushioning qualities and the "geometry" that we incorporate into each design lends strength to each part. With our proprietary manufacturing processes and experienced engineers, we design your packaging to be sturdy and effective.
MFT-CKF packaging can be tested in-house as well as at independent ISTA certified packaging laboratories.
Common Applications
Unlike most molded pulp manufacturers, MFT-CKF is not limited to the production of standard end caps, trays, and box inserts. Innovative “after-pressing” capabilities allow us to create retail friendly packaging options like folding cartons and clamshells.
Clamshells
Many packaging designers don’t give a lot of consideration to molded pulp when looking for a clamshell or other type of enclosed retail packaging container, but hinged molded pulp containers have been used for decades as egg cartons.
End Caps
Designed properly, molded pulp end caps can provide the shock and vibration resistance required for many packaging applications.
Trays
Anyone who has ever had to carry a few drinks from the concession stand to your seat at a sporting event is familiar with molded pulp cup carrier trays. MFT-CKF can custom design a tray to fit your packaging needs.
