[1] For many applications, molded pulp is less expensive than expanded polystyrene (EPS), vacuumed formed polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), corrugation, and foams.
Typical uses of transfer molded products are for packaging electronic equipment, cellular phones and other household and hardware items.
This newest form of molded pulp is the highest quality of thin-walled products available today.
The process uses "cure-in-the-mold" technology which produces well defined, smooth-surfaced molded pulp products.
Typical uses for this type are for point-of-purchase packaging and those applications where high definition and appearance are of prime importance.
Secondary processing could be coating, printing, hot-pressing, die-cutting, trimming or manufactured using colors or special slurry additives.
