Kraft Paper Cushion Making Machine
The Kraft Paper Cushion Making Machine converts a single or double layer kraft paper roll into a cushioning material with a crinkled, padded structure in one continuous process. It feeds 760 mm wide paper at 25 m/min and produces a 1 or 2 ply cushion that provides impact protection without plastic. This machine allows converters to produce their own paper-based void fill on site, reducing dependency on external suppliers and avoiding plastic packaging regulations.
- Produces a paper cushioning material that replaces plastic inserts without requiring line modifications
- Single pass processing of unwinding, forming and rewinding eliminates intermediate handling
- Supports both 1 and 2 ply feeding, with the second layer added via a separate rewind machine for stronger cushioning
- Runs standard 70 to 80 gsm kraft paper, which is widely available from local paper mills
- Compact size and low weight allow installation in small production areas

Compared With the Alternatives
Buying pre-made paper cushion pads
In-house production removes supplier margin but requires holding raw paper stock and operator time
Plastic foam inserts
Paper cushioning is fully recyclable and avoids plastic regulations, though it offers no moisture barrier
Manual padding with paper
The machine ensures consistent pad thickness and structure, reducing labor and waste
Honeycomb paper machines
This machine makes crinkled pads; honeycomb machines produce expandable grid structures with different performance characteristics
Use Guide
- Mount a 760 mm wide kraft paper roll onto the feeding shaft
- Set the machine to run at 25 m/min and start the process
- For 2 ply: feed the first layer through the forming section, rewind it, then feed the second layer through
- Collect the finished cushion pad on the rewinding shaft
- Cut the roll to desired length using a manual cutter or optional sheeting unit
