suitable for customized industrial molded fiber packaging because the\n        forming system can be configured around the customer&#8217;s product-specific\n        mold. Instead of optimizing the machine around one standardized tray\n        format, Richon evaluates the packaging dimensions, mold cavities,\n        forming cycle and required production target before confirming the\n        final machine configuration.\n      <\/p>\n\n    <\/div>\n\n    <!-- ADVANTAGE CARDS -->\n    <div\n      class=\"ripm-reciprocating__grid\"\n      aria-label=\"Reasons to use reciprocating pulp molding equipment\"\n    >\n\n      <article class=\"ripm-reciprocating__card\">\n\n        <div class=\"ripm-reciprocating__card-top\">\n\n          <div\n            class=\"ripm-reciprocating__number\"\n            aria-hidden=\"true\"\n          >\n            01\n          <\/div>\n\n          <h3>\n            Flexible Mold Dimensions\n          <\/h3>\n\n        <\/div>\n\n        <p>\n          Industrial packaging products may vary significantly in length,\n          width, depth and cavity arrangement.
