Paper forming technology for sustainable packaging
Elevate your product’s sustainability with advanced paper forming technology that transforms traditional packaging into eco-friendly, eye-catching designs, significantly reducing plastic usage while maintaining product protection.

Forms, Fills, and Seals with Paper Materials
The TPU Forming, Filling, and Sealing Machine from Syntegon offers a transformative approach to sustainable packaging through its innovative use of paper materials. This machine reduces plastic dependency by molding paper into 3D shapes, ideal for various sectors, including food, cosmetics, and electronics. It efficiently processes diverse end-products like chocolate bars, vitamin blister packs, and toothpaste tubes, meeting modern sustainability demands.
With a modular design, the TPU adapts to production needs ranging from small batches to medium-sized runs, ensuring seamless integration into existing production lines. It supports continuous and scalable operations, offering automation through its PLC-controlled systems, which allow for remote monitoring and adjustments.
The machine operates using a precise forming, filling, and sealing process, ensuring optimal product protection with or without barrier layers. The compact and energy-efficient design is engineered to meet environmental and operational objectives, using significantly less plastic than traditional means.
Manufacturers benefit from customization options, such as adaptable forming mechanics to suit specific packaging requirements and engineering support for tailored implementations. The TPU also complies with stringent industry standards, enhancing its appeal for forward-thinking companies aiming to enhance their sustainable packaging initiatives.
