Molded fiber cushioning is gaining attention as an alternative to plastic foam, but approval depends on tooling cost, strength, moisture behavior, lead time, line compatibility, and total cost—not on a sustainability claim alone.
TAIPEI PACK 2026 is more than an exhibition notice. It offers signals on Asian packaging automation, paper-based substitution, export packaging, and short-run production. This article explains how packaging teams can translate those signals into specifications and quote reviews.
