Where does the Ranpak® WrapPak® Protector Paper Converter work best?
The Ranpak® WrapPak® Protector suits medium to large packing operations that need fast, repeatable paper protection for wrapping, box lining, blocking and bracing, including lines handling up to 1,000 packages per day.
- High-volume despatch benches where operators need up to 36 metres of paper per minute to keep packing moving.
- Box lining for e-commerce, retail and fulfilment shipments where a resilient paper pad helps cushion products inside the carton.
- Blocking and bracing mixed goods in transit where 305 mm wide shock-absorbing pads help reduce movement and impact inside the box.
- Chilled and ambient food packaging where waved paper pads provide thermal protection for up to 48 hours.
Not for
- Very low-volume packing areas where a manual paper void fill solution is enough. Choose paper void fill or kraft paper sheets if you only pack occasional parcels.
- Operations that need plastic cushioning or foam profiles for shaped, delicate or high-gloss items. Choose foam packaging when surface separation or shaped protection matters more than paper cushioning.
- Lines that don't use Ranpak® WrapPak® Protector paper. This converter is designed for use with Ranpak® WrapPak® Protector paper.

Product FAQs
What can I protect with this paper converter?
Use it for ambient and chilled food items, fragile goods and general merchandise. The converter forms paper into resilient pads for wrapping, lining, blocking and bracing, so packing teams can handle varied orders without switching between several protective materials.
How does it help with chilled food packaging?
The waved paper pads use the insulating properties of paper to provide up to 48 hours of thermal protection for ambient and chilled food products. This makes the system useful for food delivery and food preparation operations that need paper-based protection inside transit packaging.
Can operators control pad length and quantity?
Yes. The machine offers several production modes, including foot pedal operation for individual pads and settings for pre-cut and pre-sized pads. Operators can prepare consistent lengths for repeat pack formats, which helps reduce handling time at busy benches.
Is the paper protection recyclable?
The system uses kraft paper material to create pads that are fully recyclable once used. This helps businesses reduce reliance on plastic cushioning or foam while still protecting goods in transit.
Also useful
- Cold chain solutions: relevant for packing teams sending chilled products that need temperature-controlled packaging components.
- Foam packaging: a practical alternative when products need shaped protection or separation from harder surfaces.
- Cardboard boxes: needed to pair the paper pads with cartons sized correctly for wrapping, lining, blocking and bracing.
