With very few exceptions, such as our own Globe Guard® Eco Flex and some candle and wine bottle carriers, most molded pulp packaging is made for a specific application with a custom-designed mold.

Salazar Packaging Appointed Distributor for Expandos Packaging Product Line
Last year, I wrote a blog post about this unique, green void fill option and I referred to it as “perhaps the best, loose, void fill option, ever.” That was not a wild exaggeration.
