HexcelPack Introduces Wrapping System For Safe Product Shipping Sedona, Arizona based HexcelPack, a developer of eco-friendly, paper-based protective cushioning solutions to replace bubble wrap and other plastic or foam-based materials, has introduced a cost-effective and sustainable wrapping system for a wide array of product shipping needs. Now used by the United States’ top three retail- ers, the company’s HexcelWrap cushioning paper deliv- ers product protection and packing simplicity for e-com- merce, retail catalogue, pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, as well as third-party logistics (3PL) and contract packaging applications. Utilizing groundbreaking slit paper technology, Hexcel- Pack converts extensible paper into a three-dimensional, internationally patented cushioning product by making precise cuts at specific angles. This method makes the paper “flex,” expanding its volume while maximizing the strength and stiffness of its fibers. The result is a superior cushioning product proven to outperform environmental- ly-harmful product protection alternatives – including plas- tic-based bubble wraps and pillows. HexcelPack protective cushioning is easily dispensed through the company’s compact options, including a standalone and completely recyclable tabletop dispens- ing station.
