Future-proof packaging for industry and retail
We are determined to become a pioneer in a forward-looking industry. Blending innovative spirit and high quality, Fernholz is your strong partner. Irrespective of legal requirements, we were early investors in the development of sustainable plastic packaging. State-of-the-art technologies are used for injection moulding, thermoforming and film extrusion.
As an experienced manufacturer, we deliver future-proof packaging solutions for the food and industrial sectors. Our focus is on certified recycling processes and continuous innovation to meet the growing demands for sustainability.
Packaging consisting of several different materials causes problems in the recycling process. Cups with sleeves are a typical example. But there is still considerable reluctance to do without colourful, decorated cups. Working closely with our customers and in response to market demands, we have developed a proprietary range of plastic packaging and materials, which we would like to present to you on this page.
We offer you high-quality colourful products that are nevertheless easily recyclable. Discover our innovative products and processes.

Where required, the top and bottom films are matched, for example, in terms of their peel behaviour. These films offer excellent recyclability combined with high processability and outstanding mechanical properties. Also available with built-in barrier properties.

Monomaterial cups
Faster to recycle thanks to direct printing | Manufactured from PP, PS, or PET depending
on the application, Monomaterial cups are printed immediately after thermoforming.

The thin layers of colour on the surface are completely ignored by NIR detectors in the waste sorting facilities during recycling so that the cups are guided into the correct material stream.
