PAC Worldwide Unrolls Sustainable Packaging Innovations at PACK EXPO 2025

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PAC Worldwide, a leader in protective packaging and now part of ProAmpac, will debut its latest in eCommerce packaging innovations at PACK EXPO Las Vegas, September 29 – October 1 (Booth #SL 13090). Key products on display include a new Post Consumer Recycled Bubble Roll and the launch of a fixed release liner for PAC’s wicketed paper mailer. These innovations underscore PAC’s commitment to delivering more sustainable, high-performance solutions for today’s eCommerce and retail markets.

“Our customers are asking for packaging that performs better while aligning with sustainability objectives," said Thomas Parenteau, president of eCommerce. "By expanding proven innovations like the fixed release liner to paper and delivering PCR-based protective solutions, we’re enabling brands to meet today’s demands for efficiency, safety, and evolving Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements.”

Protecting Products While Reducing Virgin Plastics

PAC’s new Post Consumer Recycled Bubble Roll—pre-qualified for Store Drop-off—delivers the same trusted protection as PAC’s standard line, now with 50% post-consumer recycled content. By combining strength and reliability, it helps brands reduce virgin plastics and align with evolving EPR requirements. Available in clear, custom, or branded colors with a 3/16” bubble height, it’s ideal for protecting fragile goods in beauty, home, and moving & storage categories.

From Poly to Paper: Proven Performance Driving Productivity Gains of Up to 50%

PAC is proud to extend its innovative fixed release liner—first proven in the WicketPAC® poly mailer—to its wicketed paper mailer, further advancing productivity and workplace safety.

In beta testing with high-volume eCommerce operations, packers using the fixed release liner achieved 20–50% higher throughput compared to standard mailers. By eliminating the need to peel and discard liner paper, the feature streamlines workflows, reduces ergonomic strain, and helps maintain safer packing areas by preventing liner waste from reaching the floor.

As part of ProAmpac, PAC Worldwide is committed to shaping the future of protective packaging with solutions that deliver efficiency, safety, and sustainability. The debut of these innovations marks another step toward enabling customers to meet the challenges of eCommerce and retail with confidence.
