Molded fiber product packaging Inserts for premium products and gift sets
Presentation inserts and set trays for your box — precisely fitted for one product or several variants, with embossing for logo and labeling.
Design and development together with you — engineering, prototype, tool making and series production from a single source.
Why an insert
Everything in its place. When packing and when unpacking
Your set consists of several components, and it should delight customers when they open it. One molded part holds every product in position, carries your brand and is packed in a single move.
Fit
Fits like a glove
Each compartment is made for exactly one product: bottle, jar, leaflet. Whatever you put in is still exactly in place when unpacked.
Packing
A single move
Product, accessories, leaflet: one layer, one molded part, one item number. Even when your set comes in several variants.
Brand presence
The logo is built in
Embossing and texture are created in the tool — with the molded part, in the same cycle. The visible side carries your brand from the very first molded part.
What this looks like for your product is determined by the geometry. The compartments are designed around your set, the fit is checked on the sample, and only then is the production tool built.
Examples
Every product gets its own shape
From hardware sets to gift sets: what lies in the insert determines what it looks like. Yours is created the same way as the following examples.
Hardware
Hardware set
Handle and fittings in their own cavities, the lid on top. The installer lifts it off and finds each product in the order in which it is needed.
Fit
Device and negative form
The insert is the negative form of your device — cutouts for handles, feet and connectors are created directly in the tool.
Premium product
Gift set
The insert fills the box edge to edge, each tube in its cavity. The fiber surface carries the presentation on its own.
Toys
Toy set
Every component in its compartment, the insert in the box. When opened, the set lies sorted, just as it was packed.
Safety
Tool insert
Device and holder in their own cavities. The insert holds both in the retail box and shows on opening what belongs together.
Device with accessories
Device, bottles, cylinder
Each product in its cavity, held at top and bottom. The carton opens, and the set stands.
Product packaging made of molded fiber consists of presentation inserts and set trays made of virgin fiber that hold product, accessories and leaflets in a single layer. Plus toy inserts, capsule boxes, confectionery inserts and much more. We clarify what is possible for your product in the consultation — dimensions, compartments and process are later specified in the data sheet for your molded part.
At a glance
Predictable from the first conversation
You know in advance what your insert needs and when it will arrive — with key data on which you can base your costing and your schedule.
Minimum quantity
100,000 units per year
From this annual quantity, we develop your insert as your own shape: molded parts precisely fitted to your products, in premium quality with the embossing and finish you want.
Molded part format
The shape follows your product
Up to 160 mm deep, post-pressed — our standard frame format for the fastest implementation.
Timeline
Around 12 weeks from your approval
First prototype: around 4 weeks after the kickoff. From your approval, tool making, pre-production run and start of production follow in around 12 weeks.
Tooling costs
We contribute
How we share your tooling costs depends on annual volume and term — in Wet Molding, up to full coverage. The terms and the five-year warranty on tools from our tool shop are set out in your quote.
From first conversation to series production
How your packaging is created
Four steps from the first question to ongoing production.
01
Initial consultation
You bring the product, we take care of the engineering. Set contents, carton size, quantity and target date are all we need; you get back feasibility and a budget price with a quote for the start of development. Within a few days.
02
Samples and examples
Molded parts that match your project — similar molded parts from existing projects or standard products: you assess material quality, feel and appearance on a real molded part.
03
Design and prototype
Design and CAD based on your product, your approval, and on request a prototype for a fit test with the real set. Around 4 weeks after the kickoff.
04
Tool and series production
Production tool from our own tool shop, pre-series and sampling, then ongoing series production from Arnstadt. Around 12 weeks from your approval.
These times are planning values; they depend on your approvals, our teams' workload and the scope of your project. Your project team at PAPACKS presents the detailed plan around 1–2 weeks after the kickoff. You receive the process and the quote after our initial meeting; binding dates are set out in your detailed plan.
Do you have a seasonal deadline? We will tell you in our conversation whether it still works.

Recycling
Recyclability
We check the recyclability of your insert on a product-specific basis with cyclos-HTP; we commission the report for your item on your request.
Test method: cyclos-HTP according to the ZSVR minimum standard and DIN EN 13430
Labeling
Material marking
We emboss material marking and item number directly into the molded part — permanently, in the production tool, with every molded part. Further markings on request, for example for traceability.
