Natural fiber packaging: the fiber list behind the label
"Natural fiber" describes a feedstock family, not a single material, and the difference between one fiber and another decides how a pack performs. It is worth knowing which one is in your tray before you commit to a specification.
- Sugarcane bagasse - long fiber, light colour, no bleaching needed. The default for food contact and bright retail surfaces.
- Wheat and rice straw - short, abundant agricultural residue. Economical stiffness for trays and containers where aesthetics are secondary.
- Bamboo - fine, dense fiber that presses into thin, smooth walls with tight dimensional control.
- Wood fiber - consistent and predictable, the baseline for tolerance-critical parts.
- Recovered kraft and mixed paper - the lowest-cost route, darker in tone, strong on crush resistance.
Fibers are frequently blended: a stiffer kraft fraction added to bagasse for a heavier product, or a fine fiber layered on the product face for a smooth cosmetic surface over a coarser structural body. That layering is a tool and furnish decision, not an extra material in the pack.
MOQ is 10,000 pieces per design; tooling 7–15 days; production 15–25 days after sample approval. Tell us the product and the disposal route you want to claim, and we will propose the furnish - or see the full range.
