JASPER GROEFSEMA PAPERFOAM

HISTORY Start in 1998 Since its foundation in 1998 PaperFoam consistently provides innovative packaging solutions. These are based on the PaperFoamÂŽ injection molding technology that shapes foamed paper into a solid scratch-free packaging material.

Markets PaperFoam is a unique packaging material applied in electronics, media, cosmetics, medical devices and food.

Customers PaperFoam is active for local and international customers like: Microsoft, Philips, Plantronics, Nobel Biocare, Medtronic, Cochlear, Burt’s Bees.

INGREDIENTS

industrial starch

cellulose fibers

water

premix

Starch from industrial potatoes is mixed with water, cellulose fibers and premix.

The resulting mixture can be applied in the injection molding process.

HOW IT’S MADE

Injection

Baking

Product

Heated, high-precision aluminum tools bake the mixture into solid trays.

The trays have a closed skin with a foamy structure inside.

BENEFITS Unique properties • • • • • • •

Freedom of design High level detailing Excellent fitting and protection Full range of colors Particle-free Scratch-free Friction fit and clamping

SUSTAINABILITY Carbon footprint PaperFoam is one of the most sustainable packaging materials available. LCA studies show a drastic reduction in CO2 emissions.

EXAMPLES Steam controller This game controller fits in a top-opened box. This solution is fully integrated in a high-speed packaging and assembly line. Valve builds and packs the controllers at a fully automated.

Watch the controllers being built and packed in a spectacular way in this video.

EXAMPLES Nobel Biocare A multi-purpose tray with smart design. Each cavity in the tray can fit a range of products like blisters, tubes and vials. Tubes are friction fitted.

Depending on the orientation, trays can either stack into each other or on top of each other in order to save space.

EXAMPLES Beartooth This is a device you can call with, without being connected to cell service. Convenient on holiday with groups where you are off-grid in the mountains.

In this example, we show you how shaping and forming of a mountain range adds to the unboxing experience of this outdoor device.

EXAMPLES Samples We have packaging applications in electronics, cosmetics, medical devices and pharmaceuticals as well as foods.
