  • Fiber-Based Snus Packaging Moves Toward Commercial Production

    Fiber-Based Snus Packaging Moves Toward Commercial Production

    Future Materials Sweden ordered two Scala machines from PulPac to establish industrial-scale production of fiber-based snus cans at a new facility in Ljungby, marking a shift from product development to commercialization. The site will serve as the company’s first production hub, focusing initially on high-volume snus packaging—an area traditionally dominated by plastic—signaling growing momentum for alternative materials in nicotine product packaging.

    PulPac said the investment reflects broader industry interest in sustainable packaging solutions, with its Dry Molded Fiber technology positioned as a scalable alternative. Both companies said the move is aimed at building capacity for future expansion and partnering with additional brands, as demand grows for renewable, lower-impact packaging across the tobacco and nicotine category.

  • Plastic-Free Packaging Developed for Snus Cans

    Plastic-Free Packaging Developed for Snus Cans

    PulPac, Future Materials Sweden, and Yoik AB have developed a “dry molded fiber” snus can for Yoik’s Helwit brand at PulPac’s R&D Lab, marking the brand’s entry into the smokeless tobacco segment, a market traditionally dominated by plastic packaging. The fiber-based can has been engineered to meet the functional demands of high-volume snus packaging, including durability, consistent fit, and premium feel, and is currently undergoing structured product validation and trials on Yoik’s filling line.

    In parallel, Future Materials signed a license agreement with PulPac to commercialize dry-molded fiber products, with plans underway to industrialize, scale production, and optimize tooling to enable full-scale manufacturing once validation milestones are achieved.
