AirPouch void-fill and protective packaging systems and materials

Automated Packaging Systems has introduced its line of AirPouch void-fill and protective packaging systems and materials. AirPouch systems deliver on-demand, inflatable air pillows, bubbles and tubes used for void-fill, protective wrapping, blocking, bracing and packing applications.

Preformed material is shipped in boxes and inflated on demand at the packing station for maximum production efficiency. These compact units are portable and require only electricity for operation.

The AirPouch Express 3 system will produce void-fill air pillows at the rate of 15 m/min. The AirPouch FastWrap system produces cellular cushioning wrap at 20 m/min. Both product lines include EZ-Tear perforations for operator speed and convenience.

Void-fill pillows offer advantages over traditional packing materials because they are cleaner, lighter, more user friendly and increase product visibility over EPS peanuts and paper. Shipping, storage and handling costs are claimed to be less than conventional packing materials because one standard box includes more than 1200 linear metres of material.

EarthAware recycled and biodegradable materials are available in a tinted green colour to demonstrate environmentally friendly options.
