More and more companies want to reduce the amount of plastic in their packaging. However, PE foam is still commonly used as cushioning inner packaging for shipping and transporting fragile products. With our in-house developed paper net, we replace PE foam with almost the same cushioning properties. This allows you to protect your packaged goods securely while eliminating plastic - for more sustainable logistics.

Ideal protection for fragile goods

Our paper net has restoring forces that enable it to withstand multiple impact loads. The structure of the paper net straightens up again after impacts and thus retains its protective function. The padding passes various standardised drop tests, such as DIN standard 22 248.

If you're looking for a single-material packaging made from 100% recycled paper and do not want to compromise on the cushioning effect of PE foam, our flexible paper net is the right solution. It is adaptable in quality and strength and can be used for different shapes and weights. Depending on the application, it can be reused multiple times.
