Molded Fiber Pioneering

How We Partner With You

Every project is different. That’s why Tanbark offers three levels of engagement — from straightforward manufacturing to full innovation partnerships. Whether you’re a packaging designer, product engineer, or business leader, you’ll find the right fit here.

Manufacturing

For customers who already have a fully designed molded fiber part, we handle the rest. Our team designs and builds the tooling, then manufactures at scale with speed and precision.

Fastest turnaround time
U.S. production
Reliable, repeatable quality

Perfect for packaging suppliers or brands who simply need a trusted U.S. manufacturing partner.

2. Design

For projects that require design adaptation or conversion to molded fiber, we become your design partner.

Small modifications for manufacturability
Iterative design reviews with CAD drawings and 3D-printed prototypes
Optional molded fiber prototypes for validation

These projects often start with a clear concept but benefit from Tanbark’s expertise in designing functional, beautiful, sustainable molded fiber products.

3. Innovation

Some projects go beyond design — they require rethinking what’s possible. Our Innovation partnerships combine the expertise of our designers, process engineers, toolmakers, and production team.

Modify not just the part design, but the process design itself
Pursue solutions that make previously “impossible” molded fiber parts attainable
Limited to a select few projects each year, ensuring focus and impact

This is where Tanbark thrives: partnering with forward-thinking brands to bring next-generation molded fiber solutions to market.
