An optimal Packaging Forming fabric must deliver high fiber support and high drainage capacity combined with low caliper to meet the demands of high-performance packaging machines. The sheet side requires an exceptionally fine surface with high Fiber Support Index (FSI) to minimize wire marking, maximize mechanical retention, and ensure uniform formation for improved printability and surface planarity. The machine side demands a robust, highly abrasion-resistant construction—featuring long-floating weft designs and advanced wear-resistant materials to ensure dimensional stability and extended service life. Thin caliper and low void volume are critical for reducing water carryback and improving couch solids. The fabric must also provide controlled, steady-state drainage with engineered drainage channels to support efficient dewatering across a wide range of machine speeds and furnish types.

Our fabrics are individually engineered for demanding grades such as Kraft, Corrugated Medium, Testliner, Container board, FBB, Sackkraft, Ivory Board etc.

Precision at every manufacturing stage—from intelligent design through high-accuracy weaving to final finishing—ensures consistent quality. Rigorous monitoring of all parameters, combined with coordinated heatsetting using defined temperature curves, tension build-up, and time input, guarantees perfect reproducibility and repeatability.

Customer Benefits

For the papermaker, this translates into superior sheet quality: improved formation, smoother surfaces, better printability, and reduced basis weight without compromising strength. Enhanced fiber and filler retention minimizes raw material loss and reduces retention chemistry addition rates, lowering production costs. High drainage capacity enables increased machine speeds and reduced energy consumption through advanced low-friction materials. Extended fabric life of up to 20% longer reduces downtime and lowers total cost of ownership. A cleaner forming section with less water and fiber carryover improves machine efficiency and reduces wet-end sheet breaks.
