Comparison Of Molded Pulp Process
Surface Effect
The surface finish of dry-press molded pulp products is rough on one side and relatively smooth for other. Dry-press products are hot-pressed after drying.
Materials
Most of dry-press molded pulp products are made of corrugated paper or sugarcane pulp. We can offer custom colors to meet your needs
Surface Effect
The surface finish of wet-press molded pulp products is smooth on one side and has a mesh texture on the other. Wet-press products are hot-pressed without drying.
Materials
The raw materials of wet-press products are mainly sugarcane, wood pulp, recycled pulp , A4 pulp and bamboo pulp. We can customize colors based on customers' needs.
