Trakya Pack Product Guide: Molded Fiber Solutions for Bulgarian Businesses

Trakya Pack in Plovdiv offers three core product lines: UniGlass bottle packaging, PulProtect protective sheets, and custom molded fiber inserts. These solutions serve e-commerce, beverage producers, electronics, and furniture manufacturers. This guide details the specific products, their technical specifications, and the industries that benefit from them.

Molded Fiber Packaging Fundamentals

Molded fiber packaging is a sustainable material formed from recycled paper and natural fibers. It serves as a durable alternative to plastic and styrofoam. The material is shaped into custom forms using a specialized molding process. This process ensures the packaging is lightweight, strong, and compact.

At Trakya Pack, innovation meets sustainability. As the first company in Bulgaria specializing in molded pulp solutions, we create packaging that provides unparalleled protection while caring for the environment. Our production lines use 100% recycled paper. This approach supports the circular economy by closing the waste cycle.

Production Process

The production of our packaging follows a precise, environmentally oriented process. We begin by collecting recycled paper, including newspapers and cardboard, from local sources. This supports the local economy and reduces the carbon footprint. The collected paper is placed in a pulper with water, which breaks the material down into fibers.

The pulp is cleaned of impurities before continuing down the production line. The mold is dipped into the pulp, and the product is formed under vacuum. While the mold is under vacuum, water drains away, forming the structure of the packaging. Finally, the molded products are dried and undergo quality control. This ensures security and reliability during storage and transport.

Environmental Benefits

Producing our molded pulp packaging emits 60% less CO2 compared to plastic. This is equivalent to removing 3,000 cars from the roads annually. Recycling 3,504 tons of paper annually prevents the disposal of 175,200 large garbage bags in landfills. The cellulose fibers used in our products can be recycled multiple times. Unlike plastic, which has only 9% recyclability globally, paper and cardboard recycling reaches 90%.

UniGlass Bottle Packaging

UniGlass is a universal molded-pulp packaging designed to protect glass bottles during transport. It features an adaptive 3D structure with built-in buffer zones. These zones accommodate multiple bottle formats without compromising stability. The packaging is ISTA-tested and created for multiple formats, simplifying packing and reducing warehouse inventory.

The UniGlass series features an officially registered and certified design at the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). This ensures original design and compliance with international standards. The lightweight and compact structure reduces both material usage and transport costs. Thanks to its universal fit, the packaging is suitable for bottles of various shapes and sizes.

UniGlass Single

UniGlass Single provides reliable protection for one bottle up to 750 ml. It fits securely to different shapes and folds in one motion for fast packing. The durable construction allows shipping directly in a mailing bag without the need for an outer box. This is a practical solution for online orders that reduces risks of breakage and logistics costs.

UniGlass Double and Triple

UniGlass Double combines two UniGlass Single trays. These individually protect each bottle and allow fast packing without additional dividers. UniGlass Triple stabilizes three bottles in separate protective zones. This provides reliable protection and efficient use of space for larger shipments. The modular design ensures scalability and flexibility in logistics.

PulProtect Protective Sheets

PulProtect is a packaging material made from 100% recycled cellulose. It is designed to protect products during transport and storage. Its three-dimensional design absorbs shocks and vibrations. This makes it ideal for packaging electronics, glass, ceramics, and other fragile items. PulProtect is lightweight, flexible, and easy to use, ensuring reliable protection under all conditions.

Unlike bubble wrap, which often requires several layers, PulProtect provides maximum protection with just one sheet. Its unique shape absorbs shocks and vibrations, significantly reducing claims due to transport damage. It passes ISTA tests without the need for additional packaging like cardboard. The compact design cuts warehouse space by 60% versus non-stackable materials like bubble wrap.

PulProtect Air

PulProtect Air is the ideal solution for small and fragile products. It is designed for items such as smartphones, candles, cosmetics, and wine bottles. With its compact size, it perfectly wraps products the size of A5. It provides reliable protection against impacts and scratches. The dimensions are 459 x 307 x 15.5 mm, with a static load capacity of 6000 kg/m2.

PulProtect Pro and Edge

PulProtect Pro is designed for medium-sized products such as laptops and home decor. Thanks to its pyramidal shape and compact dimensions, it combines flexibility and strength. It provides excellent shock absorption and effective protection against damage during transportation. PulProtect Edge is designed to protect the corners and edges of frames, case furniture, and large household appliances. L- and U-shaped protective profiles can be easily formed, providing maximum protection during transportation and storage.

Target Industries and Applications

Our custom packaging solutions serve a wide range of industries. We provide safe and sustainable packaging for every product type. The versatility of molded fiber allows us to address specific challenges in various sectors.

E-commerce and Logistics

For e-commerce businesses, we offer biodegradable bubble wrap alternatives that save costs and meet environmental requirements. Econt is our first partner in the courier sector to offer PulProtect as a sustainable alternative to bubble wrap. Together, we work toward smarter and more sustainable logistics. Fewer suppliers mean more time for your business. Boxes, biodegradable mailers, and protective packaging can be sourced from a single point of contact.

Beverage and Food Industry

For alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage production, our packaging provides exceptional product protection, even when dropped from a height. UniGlass is specifically engineered for wine, champagne, spirits, and olive oil. It adapts to different bottle shapes and sizes, from standard Bordeaux to square olive oil bottles. For fresh fruit and vegetable storage, our solutions keep freshness and reduce waste.

Electronics and Furniture

In the electronics sector, our packaging offers a reliable and safe solution for sensitive components due to the material's electrostatic properties. For the furniture industry, we provide reliable storage and transportation of components, minimizing the risk of damage. Schneider Electric is the first manufacturer in Bulgaria to replace its thermoformed plastic transport trays with molded pulp. Their example shows that sustainable solutions are not a compromise but a step forward.

Custom Protective Inserts

We develop molded fiber packaging solutions that are specially designed to meet the requirements of your products, processes, and logistics. They provide exceptional protection and are used across multiple industries. The intelligent three-dimensional design of molded fiber packaging provides the necessary protection for your products during transport while saving space and reducing costs.

Development Process

We carry out a detailed analysis of your needs. We examine the 3D model of the product and gather information on specific packaging requirements. This includes water resistance, impact strength, or oil resistance. Based on the collected information, our lab designers create a 3D model of the packaging. We review this with you to ensure it fully meets your requirements.

We prepare a detailed budget proposal that includes the costs for serial parts, production tools, development, and samples. If necessary, a prototype tool and samples are produced. These can be used for tests, packaging evaluation, and operational trials. After approval of the 3D concept and samples, the production of serial tools begins. This is followed by mass production and delivery of the packaging according to the agreed schedule.

Advantages of Custom Solutions

Molded fiber packaging offers excellent protection against shocks and vibrations. Thanks to the custom design, the packaging fits precisely to the product's shape. It holds the product securely in place and prevents unwanted movement. The three-dimensional design allows for compact storage, saving space in warehousing and transportation. This leads to lower logistics costs and more efficient use of resources. Packaging can be designed exactly to the customer's specifications, from shape and size to moisture and grease barriers.
