Walk down any supplement aisle, and you will see a sea of white plastic. For decades, HDPE and PET plastic bottles have been the default choice for vitamins, protein powders, and nutraceuticals.

But there is a growing irony: Why are we putting "clean," earth-friendly ingredients into single-use plastic containers that will last for 400 years?

The industry is shifting. The next generation of supplement packaging isn't glass—it's Molded Pulp Canisters.

What is a Molded Pulp Canister?

Unlike traditional packaging where a paper box holds a plastic bottle inside, Otarapack's solution is the bottle.

These are robust, structural containers made entirely from renewable plant fibers (like sugarcane bagasse). They function just like the rigid plastic canisters consumers are used to, but with a massive difference: they are biodegradable and compostable.

Addressing the Big Question: "Is it Safe for Pills?"

The biggest hesitation brands have with "paper bottles" is performance. Will moisture get in? Will the pills go bad?

At Otarapack, we have engineered our molded fiber canisters specifically for the Health & Wellness sector:

• Moisture Barrier: Our canisters can be treated with eco-friendly, food-grade coatings that prevent humidity from affecting capsules, gummies, or powders.
• Structural Integrity: Using high-density wet-press technology, our canisters are as rigid and durable as plastic, capable of surviving shipping without denting.
• Secure Sealing: We offer precision-fit lids and compatibility with induction seals to ensure tamper evidence and freshness.

Why Switch to Paper Canisters?

1. Total Brand Alignment

If your brand sells "organic greens" or "natural sleep aids," a plastic bottle contradicts your message. A molded pulp canister feels natural in the hand. The tactile, matte texture signals organic purity instantly, creating a sensory connection that plastic cannot match.

2. Direct Printing & Labeling

Otarapack’s canisters offer a pristine "Cloud Dancer" white surface (or natural kraft) that is perfect for branding. Whether you use wrap-around paper labels (as seen in many modern designs) or direct vegetable-ink printing, the result is a premium, matte finish that stands out on the shelf.

3. Weight & Shipping Efficiency

Glass is sustainable but heavy and fragile. Molded pulp is lightweight, reducing your shipping carbon footprint significantly compared to glass, while being far more eco-friendly than plastic.
