HexcelPack to showcase expanded line of Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions at PackExpo
HexcelPack, an innovator in paper-based protective packaging designed to replace bubble , air pillows, and other plastic or foam materials, is set to unveil a range of new sustainable packaging products at PackExpo International 2024. The company will debut its expanded lineup of cost-effective, eco-friendly solutions at Booth W-24105 from November 3-6 in Chicago.
Among the featured products at this year’s show will be the AutoHexaFil™, a cutting-edge automatic dispensing system, a Wide Wrap™ version of HexcelPack’s signature HexcelWrap™ cushioning paper, Hexcel’ope, the company’s eco-friendly mailer, and new protective Hexcel Pads™.
Key products highlighted at this year’s show include:
- AutoHexaFil™: HexcelPack’s fully automatic dispensing system for HexaFil™ void fill material. The AutoHexaFil™ machine uses a unique cutting technology, delivering sustainable void-fill material up to three times faster than traditional methods. The system is fully electric, operable via a foot pedal, and features a programmable screen for preset length dispensing. AutoHexaFil™ is adjustable to fit over packaging conveyors and includes wheels for mobility, providing a highly efficient and safe solution for high-volume packaging environments.
- Wide Wrap™: A new, wider version of HexcelPack’s HexcelWrap™, available in widths from 20” to 40” (unstretched). Ideal for larger and heavier items, Wide Wrap™ offers greater flexibility in protecting oversized products during shipping. It can be used with a tabletop brush dispenser or an orbital wrapper, making it a versatile solution for businesses looking to minimize waste while maximizing protection.
- Hexcel’Ope™: HexcelPack’s sustainable alternative to traditional bubble mailers. The Hexcel’Ope™ is made using the same patented slit-paper technology as HexcelWrap™, providing a curbside-recyclable solution for shipping that eliminates the environmental impact of plastic-based mailers.
- Hexcel Pads™: Offering superior protection for fragile items, Hexcel Pads™ are available in sizes up to 48” long and 16” wide, with three thickness options, including a double-layer version for enhanced crush protection. These pads provide reliable cushioning without the need for interior openings, making them ideal for a wide range of products.
“We are very excited to have the opportunity to highlight and demo these eco-friendly innovations at PackExpo, showcasing our commitment to sustainable, cost-effective packaging solutions,” said Lorne Herszkowicz, Partner at HexcelPack. “In addition to our new products, we continue to invest in our operations with the expansion of our manufacturing footprint in 2025.”
