New from Pregis Protective
Packaging Europe is a
hybrid cushioning (HC)
system that can handle multiple roll
widths via a dispenser head that is
60% smaller than previous models.

The new AirSpeed HC Versa has a
reduced profile which enables the
unit to be placed in locations where
space is at a premium, while
maintaining high speeds and
delivering an effective cushioning
performance at low cost.

Pregis is also introducing HC-Flex,
a high performance low-density
polyethylene air pillow film that,
according to the company is made
with 30% less resin than competitive
hybrid inflatable cushioning
alternatives.

The AirSpeed HC Versa unit is the
first to produce cushioning in three
different widths: 61cm, as well as 45.7
and 30.5cm wide sizes. It can also
produce three different cell heights:
small (1.9cm), medium (2.5cm) and
large (3.2cm). Typical perforation
preset is every 15.2 and 30.4cm.

The machine can accommodate
traditional virgin air cushioning
material, reduced gauge structures,
recycled content or ones designed to
accelerate microbial biodegradation,
without compromising recyclability.

Pregis’ full line of HC films can
handle even the most demanding
applications.
