The modern fulfillment environment demands more than just speed—it requires sustainable efficiency. As packaging automation continues to evolve, the necessity of a reliable, fast, and eco-friendly void fill solution becomes a non-negotiable factor in profitability. IPG’s PaperSpace™ X-Fill™ and X-Fill™ Pro Systems are engineered to meet this mandate, offering a complete solution for high-speed product protection and sustainable brand messaging.

The result is a 100% curbside recyclable paper void fill, certified Cradle to Cradle Certified® Gold.


Driving Speed and Throughput

Every second of downtime or manual intervention cuts into your profit margin. The X-Fill Systems are designed for minimal interruption and maximum output.X-Fill-Machines

  • Blazing Output: The standard X-Fill boasts a rapid throughput speed of 335 ft/min. For the most demanding, high-volume operations, the X-Fill Pro delivers a variable, industry-leading speed of up to 415 ft/min.
  • Anti-Jamming Technology: Both models feature advanced paper-handling technology to virtually eliminate costly downtime and guarantee pack station uptime. For the Pro, high-speed output combined with easy-to-load, large-capacity paper bundles ensures fulfillment of the most rigorous void fill requirements.
  • 3D Paper Shaping: The paper is shaped to maximize void fill efficiency, using less material to achieve better protection. This optimized 3D volume translates directly into using less paper per package.


Ergonomics and Operational Safety

Integrating new equipment must enhance, not hinder, the operator experience. The X-Fill Systems are designed with safety and ergonomics in mind, leading to a safer, more productive workforce.X-Fill-Hands-Free

To achieve this certification, our products are scored on five critical pillars:

  • Hands-Free Operation: A simple, easy-to-use footswitch and an auto-cut feature provide comfortable, hands-free paper dispensing.
  • Customized Integration: The standard X-Fill is available in both floor and table-top models, with customizable height and angle adjustments. This allows for seamless adaptation to any warehouse design or packing line constraint.

 
Optimized Resource Allocation and ROI

The X-Fill Systems generate significant savings through resource control and cost-avoidance.

  • Waste Minimization: The length selection mode feature is specifically designed to control paper usage and minimize waste, ensuring operators dispense only the material required. The Pro model enhances this with four programmable modes, including an auto-repeat mode for predictable, repeatable performance.

  • Cost-Avoidance: By increasing void fill efficiency, minimizing waste, and streamlining the packing process, your business saves money on labor, material consumption, and energy use. This makes the PaperSpace X-Fill Systems one of the wisest investments in packaging automation you can make today.

PaperSpace X-Fill Systems allow you to increase output without increasing your negative environmental or financial impacts, creating an optimal fulfillment environment built for the future.
