Moulded pulp provides a lightweight form of packaging. Such packaging is able to absorb the energy in an impact without transmitting the shock to the packed item since, although the material itself is only slightly resilient, the impact energy is absorbed by distortion and crushing at the point of impact. BS 1133-7.6 provides information on packaging manufactured from moulded pulp and its uses.
