Recycle Paper Cushion Making Machine
The SD-PB350 converts 125gsm or 180gsm waste kraft paper into embossed paper cushioning with a bubble structure in a single pass. The machine forms the cushioning paper from 100% recycled material, so a packaging producer can replace plastic bubble wrap with a paper alternative that is recyclable and accepted by retailers restricting plastics. The process includes unwinding, embossing, and rewinding in one continuous line.
- Replaces plastic bubble wrap with a 100% recyclable paper cushion that meets retailer restrictions on plastic packaging
- Uses 100% waste paper as raw material, reducing input costs and supporting sustainability goals
- Single-pass operation with unwinding, embossing, and rewinding means one operator can manage the line
- Working speed is fixed at 50 m/min, which is suitable for consistent production of roll-fed cushioning
- Converting in house avoids the margin paid to a paper cushion supplier and reduces dependency on external supply
Why Buyers Choose It
- Plastic bubble wrap is being rejected by end customers or banned in export markets due to environmental policies
- Bought-in paper cushioning carries a supplier margin and long replenishment cycles
- Manual placement of cushioning is slow and inconsistent compared to automated roll-fed systems
- Using virgin paper increases material cost and reduces sustainability compliance
- Lack of local production capacity for paper cushioning leads to reliance on imported rolls
Who Runs This Machine
- Packaging converters that process waste kraft paper and want to add a cushioning product
- E-commerce fulfilment operators running roll-fed bagging lines that need paper cushioning
- Paper mills and slitting houses looking to expand into value-added converting
- Packers of fragile goods that must avoid plastic in final packaging due to customer requirements
Where This Machine Is Used
- Protective packaging producers switching from plastic bubble wrap to paper cushioning for e-commerce orders
- Fulfilment centres and 3PLs using roll-fed paper cushioning on autobag lines for consistent packaging
- Paper converters adding a value-added step to waste kraft paper by turning it into cushioning rolls
- Packers of electronics, ceramics, and glassware needing a non-scratch, moisture-resistant cushioning layer
- Export packers replacing imported plastic bubble wrap with locally converted paper cushioning

How The Machine Runs
Materials
- 125gsm or 180gsm waste kraft paper
- 100% recyclable material input
- Optional laminated backing layer for enhanced moisture resistance (not specified in facts)
Quality Control
- Inflatable air shafts ensure even tension and prevent paper damage during unwinding and rewinding
- Fixed speed operation maintains consistent bubble formation across the roll
- Machines are tested with customer-provided waste paper before shipment to verify performance
- Web tracking is monitored during initial runs to prevent misalignment
Customisation
- Power supply can be built to match the voltage and frequency of the destination country
- Roll core size can be adjusted if different from 3 inch, though 3 inch is standard
- Laminating unit can be added inline for moisture-resistant cushioning (not included in base model)
- Embossing pattern can be modified for different cushioning cell sizes (not specified in facts)
Certifications
- ISO9001:2000 certificate obtained in 2005
- CE certificate obtained in 2006
How It Compares
| Buying finished paper cushioning rolls | Converting in house removes the supplier margin but requires investment in the machine and storage of waste paper reels |
|---|---|
| Plastic bubble wrap machines | Paper cushioning is recyclable and accepted where plastics are restricted, though it is heavier per square metre than plastic film |
| Paper bubble cutting machines | This machine forms the bubble structure; a cutting machine is needed to convert finished rolls into pads or sheets |
Running It On Your Floor
- Ensure the waste kraft paper reel is within 600 mm diameter and 125gsm or 180gsm thickness
- Mount the reel on the 3 inch inflatable air shaft and inflate to secure the roll
- Start the machine at low tension and gradually increase to 50 m/min after web tracking stabilizes
- Check the first 1–2 metres of output for even bubble formation and no web misalignment
- Keep the embossing rollers clean to maintain consistent cushioning pattern and avoid paper tearing
