Industry’s most material efficient and fastest hybrid cushioning system called AirSpeed HC system has been introduced by Pregis Corporation. This system is the answer for flexible and cost effective packaging, which is capable of meeting many diverse product protection needs.

According to Tom Wetsch VP of Pregis Product Development division, “The AirSpeed HC System is truly a unique, value-driving innovation that meets the challenging environment in many packaging operations today. Customers today are looking for diverse product solutions that are suited for wrapping; large-volume cushioning; and blocking and bracing packaging applications. Our new system delivers on this need for a ‘hybrid cushioning’ solution.”

AirSpeed HV innovative system enables operators to inflate cushioning pillows, optimizing warehouse space that would otherwise be required for conventional materials. Operators can also easily regulate the air pressure as appropriate for standard and customized cushion heights.

Customers such as computer parts manufacturers and publishers will find the system perfect for their requirements. Also other diversified areas such as aerospace, cosmetics, automotive, electronics, glassware, giftware, pharmaceutical and medical industries will benefit from this improved system.

The AirSpeed HC System is designed for use with Pregis popular cushioning film. Sheets are perforated between cells every 12 inches for easy-to-tear, quick packing with no loss of cushioning. Operators can load the film at knee height for optimal and safe use.

Robust and inexpensive, the film retains its shape when folded, wrapped or otherwise manipulated. The transparent material is more pleasing than solids such as foam-in-place, which can be bulky and messy. As an added benefit, AirSpeed HC film saves considerable space. One pallet of the film can be converted into the same protection of nearly 1½ truckloads of traditional bubble.
