The packaging continues to see a lot of change of materials driven largely by sustainability objectives. Plastic replacement is still top of the agenda for many brands and retailers as they look to switch out of the material to solutions that may offer a better environment footprint or at least be better received by anti-plastic focused consumers.

HexcelPack is an American cushioning paper company that uses slit paper technology for its products. It has now launched a void-fill product designed to replace plastic products such as bubblewrap. Called HexaFil, it uses the same three-dimensional hexagon design and proprietary slit paper technology as its signature cushioning product, HexcelWrap. This method makes the paper “flex,” expanding its volume while maximizing the strength and stiffness of its fibers. When HexaFil is dispensed either automatically or manually, it spirals like a helix. The company says that HexaFil provides superior block and bracing, cushioning and product protection needed for shipping fragile items and reduces product damage. It is also completely paper-based, and made of 100% Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Canadian paper. It is also claimed to be cost-effective, the company says that in most instances, the operation can reduce the amount of void fill used.
