Easypack unveils next generation green packaging technology

Packaging Solutions

Easypack has unveiled a new suite of packaging innovations that it says set a new benchmark in terms of packing efficiency and sustainability.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary, the launch of the new ‘pro’ range – packmaster pro and packmate pro – are among a number of new products being launched this year.

packmaster pro converts multiple grades of 100% recycled single or twin-ply paper at high speeds, creating ultra strong, paper cushions that are up to 80 times the original paper roll volume. New high speed blade technology has also cut the cycle time by half, offering an increase in packs of up to 35% per minute.

The new packmaster pro is Easypack’s most advanced protective packaging system to date. This innovative new solution combines and builds on the proven technology of their packmaster and packsolo systems, to offer a total packaging solution which delivers incredible versatility and efficiency, helping customers to reduce costs and save time.

The company has also launched the advanced packmate pro, which shows off its new slim line design and enhanced controls, along with a host of new benefits including its ability to convert multiple grades of recycled paper into cushion packs which are up to 16% stronger whilst using 25% less paper.

The new ‘pro’ range was designed and engineered in the UK to offer customer’s even greater packing flexibility as the new, faster systems can now convert both single and twin-ply paper in multiple grades and colours, enabling customers to pack an extensive range of goods, from heavy industrial goods through to the most fragile of items.

The new ‘pro’ range follows the earlier launch of Airspeed edge, an environmentally friendly inflatable void fill system which offers a greener alternative to standard polythene air cushion packaging. The green tinted, puncture resistant film contains a natural organic additive that accelerates the breakdown of the film in landfill, making it a viable, green packaging solution for those currently using air bags.
