Small manufacturers often operate in tight spaces with limited budgets. Every corner of the workshop has a purpose, and every expense gets scrutinized. Packaging supplies-void-fill, wrapping sheets, protective layers-represent an ongoing cost that never stops. At the same time, used cardboard boxes arrive with raw materials and components, taking up space until they're hauled away for recycling.
The Aircosan P20 offers a straightforward alternative. This compact unit sits on a standard workbench and converts waste boxes into clean honeycomb mesh cushioning. With a 45cm width capacity, 10mm thickness handling, and 10 meters per minute output, it produces enough protective material for daily shipping needs without occupying valuable floor space.
Aircosan operates our own production facility, where we build equipment ranging from desktop units to large-scale systems up to 120cm wide. The P20 benefits from that same engineering foundation-precision components, durable construction, and practical design that works in real shop-floor conditions.
For a small manufacturer currently buying bubble wrap and foam sheets, the P20 changes the cost structure. No more monthly orders for void-fill supplies. No more storage space dedicated to packaging inventory. No more worrying about running out of material during busy production runs. The machine uses cardboard that's already arriving with incoming shipments, turning a disposal cost into a production resource.
The unit also simplifies packing workflows. The mesh feeds consistently, without the uneven quality of hand-crumpled paper or the static issues of foam peanuts. Workers spend less time fussing with material and more time getting orders out the door. Over the course of a year, the savings on purchased supplies and reduced waste handling can cover the equipment cost multiple times.
