Molded Pulp

Molded Pulp is an eco-friendly packaging material made from recycled paper or plant fibers through mold forming and drying processes. It is commonly used for cushioning and inner packaging of electronics, cosmetics, food, and medical devices. In foreign trade, this term is a key keyword for product descriptions and customs classification, frequently appearing in contracts, invoices, packing lists, and certificates of origin. Usage scenarios include: confirming packaging solutions with customers, quoting prices, applying for environmental certifications (such as FSC, OK Compost), and responding to EU packaging waste regulations. Notes: Specify material (e.g., sugarcane pulp, bamboo pulp, recycled paper pulp), process (dry press/wet press), color, grammage, dimensions, and anti-static properties. It is often confused with 'paper tray' or 'molded pulp packaging,' but Molded Pulp emphasizes the forming process, while 'paper tray' may refer to a simple tray. Differences: Compared to EPS foam, molded pulp is biodegradable and recyclable but has slightly lower cushioning performance; compared to corrugated cardboard, it offers more complex shapes and higher integration. In foreign trade, accurate descriptions are essential to avoid customs classification disputes (e.g., HS code 48237000).
