Protect carton contents economically
Designed for high-speed, high-volume top and side voidfill applications, the FillPak system uses fanfold, single-ply kraft paper to economically fill voids and protect carton contents. FillPak converters create a star-shaped tube of paper, which is geometrically the most efficient way to fill a void in the top of a box. Voidfill materials are used to fill the unnecessary voids within a container after the item or items have been placed inside the box.
