Kraft Paper Cushion Machine
Kraft paper cushion machine is a desktop or mobile unit that forms crumpled paper cushions on demand from fanfold paper. One machine replaces manual folding and cutting, so packers create custom void fill in seconds without pre-storing bulky inserts. The machine heats and crumples paper into a soft, protective layer that conforms to irregular shapes and stays in place during transit.
- Forms paper cushions on demand so no pre-made inserts need to be stored
- One-touch start with touch screen interface reduces training time and operator error
- Cushions are formed in seconds and match the exact void size in the carton
- Uses both recycled and virgin kraft paper to meet different sustainability targets
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.

How It Compares With the Alternatives
Where another material is the better answer we say so, because a returned shipment costs more than a lost order.
| Hand-cut paper inserts | Machine forms cushions in seconds with consistent size and shape, reducing labour and variation |
|---|---|
| Pre-formed paper cushions | No need to store inventory of inserts; cushions made on demand to match each carton |
| Plastic air pillows | Paper cushions are better for buyers needing plastic-free packaging or lower environmental impact |
| Manual folding | One-touch start and automated crumpling eliminate the need for skilled folding |
How to Use It
Place the machine on a stable bench and connect to 110 / 220 V power
Load fanfold paper into the hopper with the fold side facing the rollers
Set the desired length and number of meters on the touch screen
Place the formed cushion into the carton and repeat for each void
