Kraft Paper Cushion Making Machine
This machine converts a roll of 70-80 gsm kraft paper into a single or double-layer paper cushion pad in a single pass. The machine feeds the paper, forms the cushion structure, and rewinds the finished pad roll. This allows a packaging producer to make its own cushioning material instead of purchasing finished pads, reducing dependency on external suppliers and avoiding the cost of a converter margin.
- Converts kraft paper reels into paper cushion pads on site, reducing reliance on third-party suppliers
- Supports single or double-layer feeding for stronger cushioning performance
- Operates at a consistent speed of 25 m/min, suitable for continuous production runs
- Compact footprint fits into small production spaces without requiring major facility changes
- Single-pass process eliminates the need for separate forming and rewinding steps
Why Buyers Choose It
- Plastic cushioning is being rejected by end customers in export markets due to environmental restrictions
- Purchasing finished paper cushion pads adds a supplier margin and long lead times
- Manual cushioning is inconsistent and slow compared to machine-fed production
- Lack of in-house cushioning capacity forces reliance on external suppliers with variable quality
Who Runs This Machine
- Packaging producers looking to convert kraft paper into cushion pads without buying finished products
- Fulfilment operators running automated lines that need reliable, consistent cushioning
- Paper slitting houses adding a converting step to their existing operations
- Small to mid-sized converters with limited space and budget for new machinery
Where This Machine Is Used
- Protective packaging producers replacing plastic foam or bubble wrap with paper cushioning
- E-commerce fulfilment centres needing consistent cushioning for fragile items in high-volume packing
- Paper converters adding value by producing paper cushion pads from kraft reels
- Packaging lines that require a low-cost, low-maintenance solution for in-house cushioning

How It Compares
| Buying finished paper cushion pads | Converting in house removes the supplier margin but requires inventory of kraft paper and machine ownership |
|---|---|
| Plastic foam cushioning | Paper cushioning is recyclable and accepted in markets restricting plastic, though it has lower impact resistance per unit weight |
| Honeycomb paper machines | This machine forms flat cushion pads; honeycomb machines create expandable honeycomb structures with different performance characteristics |
Running It On Your Floor
- Ensure the kraft paper reel is properly loaded and aligned on the feeding stand
- Select 1 or 2 layer feeding mode based on required cushion strength
- Start the machine at low speed and check the first few metres for proper formation
- Monitor the rewinding tension to avoid loose or wrinkled rolls
- Clean the forming rollers regularly to prevent paper dust buildup
