OverviewPadPak® Auto-Coiler configures Ranpak’s patented paper pads into a compact coil form to deliver a paper-based cushioning solution for dense, fragile and high‑value products. The system mounts to a packaging converter and offers two touchscreen control panels positioned for accessible operation from either side of the pack station. Operators can select from 5 operation modes and save pad/coil sequences to match product protection and throughput requirements. Options in basis weight and coil density enable tuning of protection level versus material yield to reduce waste and increase operational efficiency.
Key Features- Performance - Coil configuration designed to protect heavy and dense items by distributing shock over a larger contact area.
- Cost efficient - Paper-based solution with high material yield that reduces scrap compared to single-use foam or plastic alternatives.
- Sustainable - Curbside recyclable and biodegradable paper construction for lower environmental impact.
- Customizable - Multiple paper basis weights, selectable coil density and 5 configurable operation modes with savable sequences.
