SEE® has expanded its Sealed Air® brand ProPad paper cushioning system with the launch of its new ProPad Coiler to meet customer demands for sustainability and automation.
Made from 100% recycled paper and designed to be recycled* using kerbside services, the ProPad Coiler provides operators with a robust alternative to foam and film packaging options. High density paper coils can be quickly produced to protect heavy-duty goods.
Andrea Questa, Fulfilment Marketing Manager, EMEA at SEE explains: “Automotive, machinery and appliance supply chains often have heavy cushioning requirements. This has meant businesses have sometimes had to choose between product protection and packaging sustainability. We developed ProPad Coiler to overcome this and support companies to maximise product protection and contribute towards hitting their sustainability goals.”
Combined with the Sealed Air® brand ProPad cushioning system, operators can quickly and easily create paper coils on demand in varying sizes and densities, according to the size and weight of the packaged product.
“The ProPad Coiler allows operators to choose between 3 pre-set coil tightness settings, with the coils secured by glue dot technology, added Andrea. “Consistently tight paper coils can be produced to streamline their placement in boxes and enhance overall protective cushioning performance.
“The complete ProPad system and Coiler removes any inefficiencies and issues caused by unravelling paper coils to save operators time and resource. This helps address labour challenges and avoid delays and bottlenecks in the packaging area.”
The ProPad Coiler can be used to produce paper coils in diameters ranging from 30cm to 61cm, with adjustments made every 2.54cms. Coils are available in a natural kraft paper.
Andrea concluded: “The development of the new ProPad Coiler complements a system that’s easy to load and maintain. It’s a versatile solution that’s designed to enhance productivity and uptime through seamless switching between different sized paper coils, cushioning pads and batch coils.”
*Degree of recyclability of the final package depends on the scope and availability of appropriate recycling facilities.
