Pregis Corp. (Deerfield, IL) has introduced a new hybrid cushioning system that can handle multiple roll widths (up to 32β) via a dispenser head than is 60 percent smaller than previous models. The Air Speed HV Versa can provide cushioning in three different widths: 24β wide cushions from 32β rolls, as well as 18β and 12β wide size. Three different cell heights are also possible: 3/4β, 1β, and 1-1/4β. According to the company, hybrid cushioning differs from traditional void-fill pillows because it uses multiple air chambers in a horizontal and vertical pattern, versus one large cell. The HC Versa can accommodate traditional virgin air cushioning material, reduced gauge structures, recycled content, or material designed to accelerate microbial biodegradation.
