Fiber: A Quest for Less
Low-fiber packaging reduces material waste as well as storage, distribution, transportation, and energy pollutants. Over the past two decades, we have helped our customers decrease fiber use by more than 20%. We remove fiber from corrugated packaging – without compromising integrity – through the following processes:
Design
Structural integrity by way of superior design – not overpackaging.
Raw Materials
We align and optimize strength characteristics of paper from a variety of carefully selected options.
Unique Board Combinations
Combinations offer more strength using less fiber.
