FAQs

EnviroPAK was founded by a team of entrepreneurs and engineers who saw an opportunity to provide world class packaging solutions that could be both cost efficient and environmentally friendly compared to industry alternatives such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) and other plastic packaging materials. A convergence of technology in product design, tool making, and pulp molding machine design made their vision possible.

Throughout its history, EnviroPAK has continued to add production capacity to meet and exceed customer needs. With multiple molding lines and redundant manufacturing facilities capable of producing a range of volumes from hundreds of thousands to millions of parts. EnviroPAK has some of the fastest and most state-of-the-art molded pulp machines in the industry.

Custom designed molded pulp packaging has become the packaging medium of choice for such items as electronics and computer peripherals. It is also used for numerous household appliances, telecommunications, medical, food service, consumer goods, candles, automotive, furniture protection, bottled goods, and a variety of other applications. Molded pulp is a cost-effective choice for moderate to high volume packages with some weight restrictions.

Most products are more complicated dimensionally than a simple cube. Molded pulp can be designed with deep cavities and fairly complex geometry, to protect a product’s most fragile angles and protrusions. We are only limited to the imagination of our customers.

Each project is evaluated on an individual basis. While EnviroPAK has customers with volumes ranging from the thousands of parts per week to those that use millions per week, molded pulp is best suited for moderate to high volume applications.

EnviroPAK’s molded pulp is produced 100% recycled newspapers (typically post-industrial) and water.

EnviroPAK’s molded pulp packaging does not generate any more dust than other paper-based packaging material, such as corrugated.

Can you think of products more fragile than eggs? Molded pulp has protected them for over 100 years. Our custom pulp products have passed rigorous testing and have met requirements set by UPS, FEDEX, and ISTA. Molded pulp exhibits superior performance in shipping tests providing superior protection against the damaging effects of vibration and shock.

From a protective standpoint, molded pulp’s inherent resilience enables it to outperform most vacuum-formed plastic and corrugated designs, as well as expanded polystyrene (EPS), especially when vibration is involved.

The load bearing capability of any material is a function of the surface area available for cushioning. Contact us with your specific application and let one of our engineers see what we can design for you.

Yes, in addition to our modern manufacturing facilities, we also maintain some of the best design and tool making capabilities in the industry. We have built a full-scale tooling center that includes powerful CAD design software and advanced CNC milling equipment. We are able to take packaging from concept to production as fast as anyone in the industry! We produce “a tool for life” saving thousands of dollars over the life of a product.

The cost of molded pulp tooling is standard to the industry. Unique to EnviroPAK in the marketplace, we produce “a tool for life” which can save thousands of dollars for a customer over the life of a product.

Costs associated with the price of an item includes transportation, warehousing, labor and design. We save our customers money and resources every day in each of these categories. EnviroPAK’s molded pulp can reduce costs by as much as 70% when compared to other packaging materials. Since our molded pulp is made from 100% recycled newspaper, our cost for raw materials have been very stable for years. We pass this savings on to you. For additional benefits, go here.
