These TigerPad cushioning materials are ideal for more demanding cushioning, blocking and bracing applications, yet are versatile enough to be used for oddly shaped and delicate items using crisscross, coil, wrapping and multi-pack packaging techniques.
With half the weight and footprint of traditional paper packaging systems, the compact design of the PackTiger system enables effortless integration into current operations.
The system easily adapts to on-demand workstations or high-volume continuous feed environments for multiple packaging stations.
Operators benefit from fast roll changeovers due to the system's easy bottom loading design, which allows for single threading and does not require the systems to be reset during the loading sequence.
The PackTiger system features an easy-to-use control panel that can store up to 24 TigerPad material configurations for any combination of quality and length.
Operators also can use the easy, one-touch access buttons to produce three commonly used pad configurations already programmed into the system.
In manual mode, the operator can produce cushions at the push of a button or foot pedal.
In addition to high productivity rates and easy functionality, the PackTiger is one of the most environmentally considerate protective packaging systems on the market.
The patented single-mote design of the PackTiger system reduces power consumption compared with other paper systems, and the TigerPad material is easily recycled or reused.
Concludes Roberts: "We see a real market for the PackTiger in Europe".
"Its speed and improved environmental performance compared with the competition, coupled with our knowledge and expertise of protective packaging solutions means that we can provide real value to organisations using paper to protect their products". Request a free brochure from Sealed Air ...
