100% RECYCLED PAPER AND EFFICIENT MATERIAL FEED
With 62,717 items stored on 13,250 m2, the Regional Distribution Center in Kahl am Main is KION Group’s high-performance logistics center. The 652,000 packages shipped each year include spare parts from various KION brands, including forklift and warehouse trucks from the brand Linde Material Handling. The first contact with Papier Sprick was made at the LogiMAT trade fair.
“We were looking for a packaging solution for the new construction of our highly automated distribution center at the Kahl site. The PaperJet® cushioning system and the use of eco-friendly recycled paper appealed to us straight away,”
says Process Manager Angelo Di Cara. “Thanks to the excellent cooperation with Papier Sprick, we decided to integrate the PaperJet® directly into the existing logistics hall.”
FIVE PACKING SITUATIONS ‒ ONE SOLUTION
There are five different packing situations with different requirements in the current distribution center in Kahl. The product range extends from individual parts to heavy, specialized goods. Integrating 22 PaperJet® machines proved to be the ideal solution for these requirements: “The simple operation, adjustable cushion lengths and different operating modes enable our employees to pack suited to the product,” says Di Cara. “When working with Papier Sprick, we particularly appreciate the reliable, direct service and innovative spirit. Depending on the packing station, individual customizations could be made to meet the specific requirements.”
With its small footprint, the PaperJet® integrates seamlessly into the structural conditions of the various packing stations. This enables efficient, smooth work processes and easy material supply. A container solution for the pre-production of long cushions, which are ideal for protecting large goods, has been integrated at a dedicated packing station. For particularly heavy goods, the PaperJet® Winder supplements the PaperJet®and supplies the stations with strong paper cushioning coils. These are centrally pre-produced and can then be dispensed as required.
100 % RECYCLED PAPER AND EFFICIENT MATERIAL SUPPLY
The PaperJet® was integrated with material supply from the ComPackt® endless pallet. This solution offers clear process benefits in terms of achieving sustainability targets and efficient set-up times. “Changeover is no longer necessary on a daily basis, but only about once a week,” explains Di Cara. In addition, the previous packaging solution has been replaced by eco-friendly recycled paper made from 100% waste paper. “We are pleased to be able to avoid the use of virgin fiber altogether and thus set an example for forest and environmental protection.”

What you can take away for yourself
How can I speed up my packing process?
Speed is of central importance for an efficient packaging process. A high-performance packaging solution can significantly influence this factor. The PaperJet® is the fastest cushioning system on the market and is particularly beneficial for shippers with very high shipping volumes. Thanks to its high output speed and simple handling, the system accelerates the packing process and increases performance at the packing station.
How can I ensure that my products are well protected during shipping?
With a wide range of products and the dispatch of many different products, a flexible packaging solution is required. Our versatile PaperJet® cushioning system is equipped with various operating modes that allow the user to customise packaging. The operating mode and cushion lengths can be selected as required, ensuring maximum flexibility to protect each product perfectly for transport.
How do I design a more sustainable packing process?
A paper-based packaging solution offers the opportunity to make the packaging process eco-friendly and replace plastic materials. Our void fill and cushioning systems only utilise 100% recycled paper from our own production. With a paper-based packaging solution, you set an example for environmental protection, conserve resources and offer the recipient a positive unpacking experience. At the same time, paper packaging is easy to dispose of and can be recycled again, making an important contribution to the circular economy.
