Last year Ranpak has expanded its product portfolio of in-the-box packaging solutions with Geami WrapPak. As a 100% paper solution, it is the first truly sustainable alternative for plastic bubble wrap. The unique properties and benefits of Geami WrapPak have been recognized recently at the 2015 UK IntralogisteX exhibition, where Ranpak received the IntraLogistics Gold Award in the category “packaging”.
The IntraLogistics Awards
The IntraLogistics Awards 2015 were held to celebrate great products and services from intralogistics providers across key categories such as warehouse automation, materials handling and packaging. The judges, senior engineering and facilities managers at leading retailers, manufacturers and third party logistics providers, looked for outstanding products and services, focusing on innovation, return on investment, efficiency improvement, contribution to safety, environmental improvement, outstanding design and service excellence. The unique qualities of Geami WrapPak were rated highly by the judges, which led to Ranpaks newest addition to the product range receiving the Gold Award in the category Packaging.
About Geami WrapPak
Geami WrapPak is a one-of-a kind wrapping material used for protecting products during shipment. Customer receiving the package benefit from the superior product protection which ensures safe delivery of purchased items. Geami WrapPak also creates a wow-effect in the unpacking experience due to the unique in-the-box presentation of wrapped items. Furthermore as a 100% paper solution, it is the first truly sustainable alternative for plastic bubble wrap, making it easier for customers to dispose of packaging material responsibly.
How does it work?
A combination of patented expanding die cut paper and a tissue interleaf creates a wrapping material with unique properties. When expanded, hundreds of angled cells deflect shock away from the wrapped item while the cells lock together to prevent product migration. Combined with the soft interleaf tissue delicate items are protected from scratching during shipment. Because the expanded cells of the die cut wrapping material interlock there is no tape needed to keep the wrapping material in place around the product. As with all Ranpak products, a converter is used to create the material on-demand at the packers workstation, saving valuable warehouse space which would otherwise be needed to store the wrapping materials like bubble wrap. The Geami WrapPak High Volume converter also increases packing throughput as it enables packers to wrap at higher speed.
