Easypack releases next-gen green packaging
Packaging firm has launched the new ‘pro’ range; packmaster pro and packmate pro, which are among a number of products being launched this year.
These solutions are the second generation of the packmaster and packmate systems, which convert 100% recycled, recyclable and biodegradable paper into a robust, versatile packing medium.
The 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 packmate pro has a slimline design and enhanced controls, and can convert multiple grades of recycled paper into cushion packs which are up to 16% stronger while 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 launch in February of the new 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.
Further new product announcements are due in the Autumn.
Easypack is also celebrating 25 years of operation.
Operations director, Jason Cox said: “2017 is a huge milestone for Easypack. We set out in 1992 to make a difference to the environment through sustainable packaging innovations and we are so proud of our achievements. We are thankful to all of our customers, up and down the country and across Europe, for playing their part in helping to protect the environment, and for sharing in our beliefs and trusting in our solutions.”
