A New Jersey‐based manufacturer of nutritional bars and supplements was experiencing problems with its Ranpak TT paper void‐fill systems. The units jammed repeatedly, forcing the company to run the machines without the guards in place so that it could address the ongoing issue.

A Pregis distributor calling on the customer planned to present the Storopack Shooter paper system as an alternative for the customer. However, after learning about GeoSpeed Quantum’s unmatched reliability and operational simplicity, the distributor chose to present the customer with a solution that would eliminate the “pain” they were experiencing with Ranpak’s TT.

Seeing the advantages first hand, the Pregis distributor introduced the unit to the nutritional supplement manufacturer and arranged a trial. The team was not even out of the parking lot before receiving good reviews. The customer liked that the Quantum ran faster and that the speed is adjustable. They also appreciated the Quantum’s unique patented floating‐head design which enables the roll loading in a matter of seconds.

The unit has been designed to eliminate paper jams, unlike competitive units whose jams are said to occur frequently and can be tedious to correct. (On competitive models you typically have to remove covers or use tools in order to clear the jammed paper, which can be a time‐consuming process.)

The differentiated GeoSpeed® Renew™ 100% recycled paper option was also key in gaining the attention of the customer. In addition to its environmental benefits, Renew™ paper is softer on the hands and less abrasive to products than standard kraft paper.

The customer has already committed to installing eight Quantum units to support its packing lines. This win is another great example of Pregis working hand in hand with our distributor partners to provide the best possible solution for the customer.
