The four different cushion configurations can be used for void fill, blocking and bracing, corner cushioning, or as a replacement for traditional bubble material.

The preconfigured film is stored deflated on a roll, saving space compared to premade air cushions and bubble packaging. The Novus C machine can be placed on a pack table with its optional stand on a conveyor packaging line. It can also be used with an optional winder to produce bundled material for use at multiple pack stations.
