RollPad® or Orbiform®?
Both are paper: one is torn from a roll, the other is lifted and shaken out.
RollPad® and Orbiform® both fill the void inside the parcel with paper and replace plastic air pillows. RollPad® is torn from the roll to the length you need and crumpled; it holds heavy and irregular products firmly. Orbiform® comes as pre-cut spiral sheets that gain volume when lifted, giving a fast, tidy unboxing.
