Abstract
Paper and paperboard are recyclable, biodegradable,
renewable, and sustainable materials. This makes paper to
be superior over the most of the plastic-based packaging
materials. However, paper packaging appears in rather
simple geometrical forms, while plastics can be formed to
a great variety of different shapes. Formability is a
complex mechanical property that determines the ease of
forming of a material. Improvement of the formability is
the key to unlock the way to production of 3D-shapes from
paper.
This work overviews various 3D-forming processes such as
deep-drawing, vacuum-forming, and thermoforming, as well
as the requirements for the successful forming that
depends on the material and process i.e. formability
