Manufacturer of padded envelopes introduce new product lines
Pregis, best known for its Jiffy Bag range of padded envelopes, has added a number of new product lines to its already-expansive range of packaging solutions.
Their new Air Speed Hybrid Cushioning Versa system is a groundbreaking new machine with a dispenser head that is 60% smaller than standard models, which gives it more flexibility in producing air pockets in plastic packaging films. It also has a significantly smaller footprint than existing machines, making it ideal for locations in which space is a major concern.
They have also introduced a new durable, low-density plastic air cushioning film known as HC-Flax, which takes 30% less resin to produce than standard air-pillow films. Rather than producing one large air-filled cell, this material makes it possible to quickly produce multiple air chambers in both horizontal and vertical patterns.
Evan Everett, general manager of packaging systems for Pregis, explained: “Not only have we been able to engineer a space-saving unit, but we have also added to its capabilities while still retaining industry leading 75 feet per minute speeds. The small size and speed is important for tight work spaces and high-volume operations.”
Pregis is an industry leading supplier of speciality packaging products with 47 facilities in 18 countries worldwide.
