PadPak’s fast feed rate of 45- or 55-lb. fanfold kraft paper is four ft./sec.  A converter forms the paper into a protective, shock absorbing paper pad through a patented folding and stitching process.  The unique converter design and its five different modes of operation allow the converter to be used in batch mode or for on demand pad production. 

PadPak stores in less space than traditional loose fill packaging and does not require an elaborate delivery system.  Additionally, PadPak does not create mess or excess waste. Can be used in either batch or in-line applications.
