1Packing with PadPak - Packaging Engineering

Preface

Over the years Ranpak has become more than just a supplier of packaging systems.

One of the key elements of the success story of Ranpak is the offered Added Value

Services.

The Ranpak Packaging Engineering department is often challenged to pack very

specific products in PadPak packaging pads. These products are often not that easy

to pack, because they are heavy, fragile or just have a complicated shape. The last 15

years we have made hundreds of packaging examples.

This booklet shows some of these examples, categorized in industries. We tried to pick

not only interesting products, but also interesting applications of the paper. You will find

all packaging techniques possible with PadPak in the examples. The booklet will show

which converter actually was used to pack these products, but will also show alterna-

tive converters that could be used as well for these kinds of products.

On top of that we added packaging tips. 10 Basic tips to improve the quality, speed,

appearance and easiness of your package. Most packaging tips can even be found in

a small movie on YouTube. Just scan the QR code; for the digital version of this book-

let just touch the QR code.

For the digital version of this booklet, to go to a specific product, just touch the picture

of the product in the Index. It will automatically take you to the specific example.

Enjoy the booklet.

Basic step of Paper Packaging

For square shaped products use diagonal crossed pads. For round shaped products use straight crossed pads.

For square products it is important to protect the corners. Therefore you should place

diagonal crossed pads exactly there where they should offer protection. For round

products the corners are not that important, because the distance between product

and box is biggest at the corners. It is better to place the pads at the spot where the

distance between product and box is smallest.

1.

Watch the video on our Academy YouTube Channel “Basic step 1 of paper packaging”


Always push product together with crossed pads in box.

Doing this you can see that the pads will form itself around the product. Pushing in the

pads first and the product after will be more difficult to get the product in.

2.



Voids bigger than 8 cm, use the pads upright.

3.

Use the strength of the “wave” in the

middle of the pad. For extra strength

use spirals and “snakes”. Use flat pads

only for small voids. To make it easy to

remember 2 pads flat okay, 3 pads flat,

use a coil instead.



For high, flat products use 4 coils in the corners of the box.

Ideal solution for products like radiators, windscreens and TV-sets. Vary the height of

the coils by playing with the density of it. Make sure that the coils on top stick out a bit.

When closing the box, the pads are slightly under pressure and therefore the product

is fixated and cushioned ideally.

4.




Try to fixate products as much as possible

By fixating products in the box, the products are packed in a better way with less

material. Fixating is the best way to save on material costs.

5.



Use enough bottom protection when packing fragile products.

Remember, if a box gets an impact, the highest chance (70%) that it will be at the

bottom (bottom corner, bottom edge or flat bottom). Therefore divide as follow: 1/3 of

the packaging material on top; 2/3 underneath the product.

6.

= Protective layer

2/3 = cushioning



For long, narrow products use small coils at the ends (and middle)

7.

Sandwiching a long product between

coils is a very fast, economic and

flexible way to secure your product.

TIPS & TrICkS

Use a coil to get the maximum

cuschioning effect of the paper

pad.

For lighter products use loose

coils, for heavy products use

dens coils.



Manually creating and closing a coil

To keep a coil together, just coil the pad to a spiral, then open up the ends of the paper

and push them into the coil. Now your coil does not open anymore.

8.




Determine pad density

The density of a coil or a snake can be adjusted to light or heavy products. Use coils or

snakes with a higher density for heavy products, a lower density for light weight products.

9.



Use the flexibility of the paper

PadPak® is a flexible packaging material. With a flat pad from the machine it is easy to

make coils, corner pads, snake pads or wrap the flat pad in between the products to

avoid contact.
