Specialty paper suppliers and commercial printers ship valuable finished materials-fine art prints, photo paper, presentation folders, and custom stationery. These products have finished surfaces that must arrive without ink transfer, smudging, or edge damage. Traditional packaging materials can leave marks or create pressure points that damage printed surfaces. Bubble wrap can create indentations, while foam peanuts can leave residue.
The Aircosan PT20 addresses this with clean, dust-free strips. This desktop unit converts waste cardboard into uniform strips at 45cm width, 10mm thickness capacity, and 10 meters per minute speed. The strips provide gentle cushioning without pressing against printed surfaces. Workers can produce material on demand, ensuring fresh, clean strips for each shipment of printed materials.
Aircosan builds this equipment in our own facility, also manufacturing systems up to 120cm wide. The PT20 shares engineering standards with our larger equipment. The cutting mechanism produces clean strips without the loose fibers that could transfer to printed materials. The strips provide predictable, gentle protection.
For paper suppliers and commercial printers, the PT20 provides clean, reliable protection for printed materials. The strips reduce the risk of surface damage compared to plastic bubble wrap. Unlike foam peanuts that leave residue, the strips are clean and easy to remove. The ability to produce material on demand reduces packaging costs and eliminates the need for multiple packaging supply types. The PT20 helps printing businesses protect finished materials while reducing packaging expenses and supporting sustainability.
