Protective paper packaging Xact supplies a wide range of protective packaging materials to a variety of industries


As a leading UK distributor of Ranpak, Xact supplies a wide range of protective packaging materials to a variety of industries, ensuring maximum protection of products during transit so customers receive their products in pristine condition.


X


act provides full service support including quick access to protective


products through a team of technical personnel and specialist engineers, providing customers with high levels of support for the life of the machines. The Ranpak range is suitable for


small to large businesses for a variety of products and provides in-box paper cushioning and void-filling systems, offering the most effective, reliable and easy to use methods of sending products to your customers. This environmentally friendly solution is a more competitively priced solution to air pillows, loose fillings, foam or bubble wrap, which are also not always recyclable. Traditional solutions in comparison are often bulky and awkward to fit therefore slowing down the protective packaging process. The Ranpak range is highly shock absorbent, unlike traditional methods which can either transmit the shock to the product or simply become damaged, therefore no longer protecting it sufficiently. The FillPak


void-filling systems and PadPak


cushioning systems, as well as the ECOLINE recyclable paper, have been proven to be the preferred method in a range of industries and use less packaging unlike the patented pad styles. Some protective products lose volume over time causing products to move, however with Xact’s Ranpak range, the protective layer firmly holds products in place, expanding in the box over time for additional protection. Ranpak have always been environmentally friendly protective packaging solution market leaders. The paper produced is 100% recyclable, using materials sourced from natural, renewable, harvested sources in forests where more trees are planted than harvested. Their strong, shock absorbent Kraft paper is free from hazardous chemicals and other substances making it fully biodegradable, decomposable and recyclable, therefore reducing landfill. Being made of a single material means it uses the least amount of energy in its processing and disposal, releasing minimal gasses and when used with cardboard boxes, makes it easy for customers to recycle.


FILLPAK VOID- FILLING SYSTEM This system converts natural untreated Kraft paper at a very high speed into an economical, clean material for void- filling in a range of applications, being


suitable for industries such as pharmaceutical and


cosmetics, catalogues and e- commerce, computer and IT products, medical supplies and equipment and 3rd party logistics. The FillPak system


converts single-ply fold paper into a PaperStar configuration, proven to be geometrically the most effective way of filling a void, using least paper for the greatest protection and is specifically designed to integrate easily either into centralised packaging operations or those using multiple packing stations. The FillPak TT and FillPak M are


compact converters within the range suitable for packing areas where space is limited. The AccuFill void-fill measurement


system used alongside the FillPak system automatically controls the amount of void-fill used and packing operation speed.


PADPAK CUSHIONING SYSTEM This system is ideal for protecting valuable, fragile or awkwardly shaped products as well as being ideal for cushioning, wrapping, blocking & bracing the most fragile products from fine China and surgery kits through to computer monitors and replacement automotive parts. Depending on the required


packaging strength, 1, 2 or 3-ply specialist Kraft paper is separated allowing air to be trapped inside the layers. Inside the patented converting machine the paper layers are crimped together to form a protective cushioning pad which can then be used to safely pack even the most difficult products in the most cost effective way. PadPak is suitable for a range of


industries including automotive and motorised vehicle parts, electronic equipment, electrical lighting,

machinery and engine


parts, 3rd party logistics and technical instruments. The PadPak Junior and PadPak


senior machines form heavy cushioning pads, whilst the PadPak LC provides an ideal high-speed solution for light to medium cushioning. The PadPak CC is a compact solution which allows production right at the packers work station and is suitable for small to medium sized boxes. These machines can create a range of cushioning styles including flatpad, spiral, open pad, snake and corner pad. Ranpak protective products can


strengthen your company’s environmental stance, improve your reputation, reduce your costs, improve the flow of products and ultimately improve your relationship with your customers.
