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.
