Comprehensive Packing Solutions from a Leading Packaging Equipment Supplier

As a trusted packaging equipment supplier, FROMM delivers a full range of machines and systems to meet modern production needs. We combine Swiss engineering with local support to ensure reliable performance and reduced downtime. With decades of experience in designing, manufacturing and maintaining professional-grade packaging machinery, we are a leading global partner in efficient and sustainable end-of-line automation.

Wide-ranging packing and strapping equipment

FROMM’s strapping range covers steel and PET/PP systems across manual, pneumatic and electric platforms. We supply handheld and bench tools for mobile use, pneumatic and battery-powered tensioners for speed, and fully automatic heads for inline production. These machines allow operators to secure pallets, bundles and heavy items efficiently, reducing product movement during transit. Each system is designed for strength, precision and long service life, providing consistent tension and sealing quality.

Advanced wrapping and palletising solutions

As a packaging equipment supplier, we also offer robot, semi-automatic, orbital and vertical wrapping solutions. Robot wrappers deliver repeatable, high-speed performance for complex loads; semi-automatic turntable machines suit medium-volume operations; while orbital and vertical machines handle long or narrow profiles. Built-in controls and film pre-stretch options reduce film usage and lower costs, while improving load stability. FROMM’s wrapping systems integrate easily with other automation lines, supporting streamlined logistics and safer product handling.

Airpads: Lightweight Protective Packaging for Safer Shipments

Airpads: Lightweight Protective Packaging for Safer Shipments

 

Airpads are a versatile protective solution that combine cushioning, efficiency and sustainability for modern packaging operations. FROMM’s airpads system produces inflatable cushioning on demand, protecting fragile items during transport while reducing material waste and storage needs.

Let’s take a closer look at how airpads work, where they are best applied and the benefits they bring to packaging lines and e-commerce fulfilment.

How airpads work

FROMM’s airpad films are formed into cushions by a dedicated machine that inflates and seals pockets of air to create lightweight pads or rolls. Operators feed the film into the airpad machine, which converts the flat film into a protective layer sized to suit the product. The result is immediate, flexible cushioning that adapts to irregular shapes and provides shock absorption without bulky foam or paper. Airpads can also be customised for different air volumes and film thicknesses, ensuring optimal protection for every product type.

Typical applications

Airpads are ideal across many sectors:

  • Electronics and appliances – delicate components and screens require reliable shock protection.
  • Glass and ceramics – fragile items benefit from the gentle, distributed support of air cushions.
  • E-commerce parcels – lightweight protection reduces parcel weight and shipping cost.
  • Industrial parts – odd-shaped components can be wrapped or interleaved using air pads.
  • Pharmaceutical and medical goods – sterile and sensitive products stay stable and well-protected during transit.

Key benefits of using airpads

  • Superior protection: Air cushions absorb impact and prevent movement, reducing breakage rates.
  • Space and cost efficiency: Films take up far less storage space than preformed foam; on-demand production lowers inventory needs.
  • Sustainability: Less material and the option to select recyclable films cut waste and environmental impact.
  • Speed and flexibility: Machines produce pads to length, thickness and format required, streamlining packing processes.
  • Improved presentation: Clean, uniform padding enhances the unboxing experience for customers.

FROMM systems and support

FROMM supplies both the airpad films and machines designed for seamless integration into packaging lines. Their product pages detail film types, machine models and recommended applications, plus guidance on selecting the right configuration for throughput and pack sizes. Technical support, training, and spare parts are available through FROMM’s regional network, ensuring consistent uptime for busy operations.

Choosing the perfect protective solution for your packaging needs

Adopting airpads can lower damage claims, speed packing and reduce storage and transport costs. For businesses seeking efficient, modern protection that scales with demand, FROMM’s airpad solutions offer a practical, environmentally considerate choice.
