This innovation aims to break the dominance of plastic in this segment, it is said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The market for snus cans, traditionally dominated by plastic, faces a potential revolution. <a href=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/pulpac-und-future-materials-kooperieren\/\">PulPac and Future Materials Sweden<\/a> jointly with Yoik AB, a new packaging solution has been developed, based on Dry Molded Fibre technology.

The new fibre packaging meets these requirements with high dimensional accuracy, a consistent fit, and a premium appearance. The concept was developed to protect the product and meet expectations for surface quality and tolerances.<\/p>\n<h2>Validation and industrialisation<\/h2>\n<p>The project is currently in a structured product validation phase. Performance testing and trials in Yoik's bottling environment are part of the next development steps. In parallel, the partners are planning the industrialisation and scaling strategy to ensure a smooth transition from the validated concept phase to scalable production.<\/p>\n<p><strong><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-114034 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-300x181.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"181\" srcset=\"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-1024x619.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-768x465.jpg 768w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-1536x929.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-332x201.jpg 332w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-664x402.jpg 664w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-688x416.jpg 688w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-1044x632.jpg 1044w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-1400x847.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2-1320x799.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/PulPac_SnusCan2.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Morgan Svensson, founder of Future Materials Sweden, highlights the positive reception of the concept: \u201eThe interest from Swedish and US actors shows the considerable volume potential.
