Ranpak paper: eco-friendly cushioning for protective and sustainable packaging

In today’s fast-paced world of e-commerce, fulfillment, and industrial logistics, the demand for sustainable, reliable, and efficient packaging has never been greater. Traditional plastic-based materials are falling out of favor due to their environmental impact, making room for innovative, eco-conscious alternatives. Enter Ranpak Paper – a 100% recyclable, biodegradable, and high-performance paper-based cushioning solution designed to meet the protective needs of modern shipping, while helping businesses reduce their carbon footprint.

WHAT IS RANPAK PAPER?

Ranpak Paper is a paper-based packaging material crafted from renewable kraft paper, designed specifically for cushioning, wrapping, and void fill. Whether you’re shipping fragile electronics, irregularly shaped decor items, or heavy industrial tools, Ranpak Paper offers exceptional protection and versatility. It absorbs shock, prevents movement, and ensures your products arrive in perfect condition.

Unlike plastic bubble wrap or foam, Ranpak Paper is fully curbside recyclable and breaks down naturally in the environment. It is a smart choice for brands committed to reducing waste, without sacrificing packaging quality or performance.

WHY CHOOSE RANPAK PAPER?

100% RECYCLABLE AND BIODEGRADABLE
 Ranpak Paper is made from FSC-certified kraft paper, ensuring that it originates from responsibly managed forests. After use, it can be recycled alongside regular paper waste, reducing the burden on landfills and oceans.

EXCELLENT PROTECTIVE PERFORMANCE
Despite being paper-based, Ranpak offers superior crush resistance and excellent shock absorption. It creates a secure fit around fragile items, minimizing damage during shipping and storage.

HIGHLY VERSATILE
From wrapping glassware to blocking and bracing electronics or filling empty box space, Ranpak Paper is suitable for a wide range of packaging applications. It molds easily around any shape, offering custom-fit cushioning that protects items of all sizes.

COMPATIBLE WITH MANUAL & AUTOMATED SYSTEMS
Ranpak Paper integrates seamlessly with both manual and automated Ranpak dispensing systems. Depending on your operation’s scale and packaging needs, you can generate paper pads, crumpled fill, or waved paper on demand – maximizing efficiency and throughput while reducing packaging material waste.

SUSTAINABLE PROTECTION AT EVERY STEP

With increasing environmental regulations and consumer expectations, companies are under pressure to adopt greener packaging solutions. Ranpak Paper allows your business to stay ahead of the curve. By switching to a renewable, plastic-free cushioning material, you not only protect your products – you protect the planet.

Whether you’re a small online store or a large-scale distribution center, Ranpak’s paper solution adapts to your workflow, packaging volume, and sustainability goals.
