The product is intended to protect metal components from corrosion, vibration and impact during transport and storage.<\/p>\n

The material is produced from renewable Kraft paper and is recyclable and repulpable.<\/p>\n

It is positioned as a paper-based substitute for foam,\u00a0plastic\u00a0and wood packaging.<\/p>\n

According to the announcement, the wrap can replace some internal crate cushioning and may reduce or remove the need for foam, blocking and bracing in shipments of heavy equipment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0material does not require tooling for application and can be used in automated packing configurations, including robotic wrapping systems from\u00a0HexcelCrate\u00a0that can be adjusted for different equipment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

They said the wrap forms a barrier that combines physical protection with corrosion control while supporting faster packing and crating processes.<\/p>\n

The product can serve as wrap, void-fill and side-impact protection in one material, providing a paper option in place of custom packaging.<\/p>\n

It is designed to fit irregular shapes and fill empty space without extra materials, which they said can help reduce packing time and overall packaging volume across packing lines.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of ARMOR\u2019s VCI technology provides corrosion protection for ferrous and nonferrous metals, removing the need for oils or secondary treatments, according to the announcement.<\/p>\n
