Focus on process optimisation and space-saving systems
The most important thing first: Knüppel Verpackung is presenting a broad portfolio of forward-thinking solutions at Empack Hamburg 2026 that combine process optimisation with resource conservation. The focus is on compact systems for limited work environments, recyclable material alternatives, and innovative transport protection solutions for global supply chains.
Key Facts
- Process optimisation: Introduction of compact paper converters and air cushion systems for reducing storage requirements and material usage.
- Sustainable Innovations: Use of paper nets as a foam substitute and high-recycled content hand stretch film.
- Ergonomics & Safety: New manual dispensing systems to relieve employee strain while ensuring stable pallet security.
- Specialised transport protection: High-performance solutions for corrosion protection and multifunctional packaging materials for complex components.
- Handling advantages: Time savings through pre-assembled solutions that simplify control processes in international shipping.
According to the press release, Knüppel Verpackung will be presenting solutions at Empack Hamburg 2026 designed to make packaging processes more efficient and economical. Empack Hamburg is a trade fair for packaging solutions where companies showcase new products, technologies, and trends.
Central to this will be, among other things, a compact paper converter for void fill, which is particularly suitable for confined workspaces and can be flexibly integrated into existing processes. According to Knüppel, this also allows for the pre-production of required quantities of filling material. Complementary to this, air cushion systems will be presented, which protect packaged goods while simultaneously reducing material usage and storage requirements.
Sustainable materials and ergonomic applications
According to the press release, Knüppel is to place greater emphasis on sustainable alternatives. This includes a newly developed paper net that offers similar cushioning properties to conventional plastic foam and is particularly suitable for sensitive products. In addition, a hand stretch film with recycled content will be presented, which conserves resources. In combination with an ergonomic hand dispenser, it is intended to enable consistently secure pallet securing while simultaneously reducing the physical strain on users.
Protective solutions for demanding transport conditions
Another focus, according to the press release, is on corrosion protection solutions for international transport. Knüppel is showcasing systems that reduce moisture in containers, thereby preventing damage to metal parts. A novel packaging material that combines several protective functions is particularly highlighted: it adapts flexibly to complex shapes, protects against scratches, and prevents corrosion. According to the press release, pre-fabricated solutions also simplify handling and control processes during transport.
