This document introduces Ranpak's new Plus Technology for cushioning pads. The Plus Technology allows for more air in cushioning pads using less paper, resulting in wider and more voluminous pads at a lower cost. It offers cushioning solutions across different needs and price points. The document also provides an overview of Ranpak's cushioning products that incorporate the new Plus Technology for light, medium, and heavy cushioning applications.

1. ®
Plus
What is the Plus Technology
Cushioning needs exist in many different forms: from light to medium to
heavy cushioning. Different needs also ask for different price points. With
the new Plus Technology we make sure the stitching in the pad is not as
wide which leads to more air in the rest of the pad. This results in a wider,
more voluminous pad with less paper (quality) needed to create it.
I M P R O V E D T E C H N O L O G Y
This is why we developed Plus
As the cushioning market is maturing, more attention is given to costs-in-the-box. Ranpak now offers a
complete range of cushioning solutions with corresponding price points to serve every customer segment.
The new Plus Technology creates a more voluminous pad which enables perfect cushioning while less paper
(quality) is needed. So this results in optimal cushioning performance, but at a competitive price.
Reduce Costs
Ability to work effectively with
competitively priced paper qualities
Increased Efficiency
1 ply solution leads to more efficiency in
handling due to paper packs
Optimize Performance
Optimal cushioning performance,
less paper jams

Plus
Light/ Medium Cushioning
With the PadPak LC PLUS optimal efficiency can
be achieved due to the ability to use paper packs.
Furthermore, it offers an environmentally friendly
and cost effective solution as 2 types of Ecoline paper
can be applied (70 and 90 gsm).
ADDED Plus SYSTEMS
Heavy Cushioning
The PadPak SR PLUS offers a better pad with all the existing
paper configurations but also offers optimal efficiency due
to the possibility to use paper packs. Because 110 gsm virgin
single ply paper packs can be used, significant cost savings
can be achieved.
THE
CUSHIONING
MARKET
We distinguish three segments in the cushioning market >
Light cushioning
Medium cushioning
Filling empty spaces in the box to prevent shifting
of light products (less than 8 kg).
Adding protective power within the box while shipping
products between 8 and 15 kg.
Plus Plus M
Light/ Medium Cushioning
The PadPak LC PLUS M enables costs savings due to the
smaller width of the paper packs (70 and 90 gsm virgin
57 cm wide). Furthermore, a greener option is available
with Ecoline (90 gsm recycled 57 cm wide).
Heavy cushioning
Blocking and Bracing heavy (more than 15 kg) or
extremely fragile products in the box.

2. The cushioning matrix
Our paper converters can be applied in combination with many different kinds
of paper configurations. We have segmented these configurations to distinguish
between heavy, medium and light cushioning (see front). For more information
with regards to the individual features of our converters, please have a look on
our website or in our product brochure. For every application, price requirement
and environmental standard, we offer the right paper packaging solution.
