What colours can Pulpex bottles be?
Pulpex bottles can be produced in natural fibre colours ranging from deep brown through to white. Pigment is not added to the fibre batch itself.
Can Pulpex bottles be printed or labelled?
Yes. Pulpex bottles can be decorated using in-line direct-to-shape water-based digital print, its built into all our production lines, or they can be labelled using existing standard labelling equipment.
Can Pulpex add embossed or debossed brand designs?
Yes. Pulpex can provide custom tooling for embossed and debossed brand features where required.
What are Pulpex bottle closures made from?
Pulpex bottles are designed to be compatible with existing closure systems. Closures can be made from a range of materials, depending on the product category and the brand’s requirements.
What options are available for closures?
Many brand owners already use plastic and metal closures and are familiar with existing closure systems. We can use these established thread patterns on our bottles with closure adapters to make switching to a fibre bottle faster and lower-risk. Pulpex is also working on fibre thread and closure options.
Other FAQ's
Why do we need a paper bottle? Glass is great, and recyclable too.
At Pulpex, we believe consumers should decide what type of bottle they prefer to use. Glass bottles are created using a lot of energy (which can create CO2 emissions) and recycling glass also takes a lot of energy. Many glass bottles are not recycled, especially in geographies with poor recycling infrastructure. Glass bottles that aren't recycled can last hundreds of years in the natural environment and if broken can create a safety hazard to humans and animals.
What are the technical specifications?
Technical specifications for three of our typical bottle shapes can be found here. When bottle manufacturers begin to roll-out the technology, information packs on how to work with Pulpex for your packaging design will be more broadly available.
