Scotch Cushion Lock Protective Wrap is an innovative and eco-friendly packaging protection product. It is made from 100% recycled paper and acts as a sustainable alternative to plastic cushion wrap. Scotch's new wrapping material is an expanding paper that immobilizes packaged items while on the move.
The innovative wrap expands 60 times its original volume, offering efficient packing material and eliminating the need for additional packing supplies. Consumers can easily recycle the Cushion Lock upon arrival at its destination. According to Mark Copman, "In developing Cushion Lock, we set out to reinvent packaging. Plastic bubble has been a trusted shipping solution for decades. We wanted to create a product that replicates the protective and cushioning qualities of plastic bubble while eliminating the need for plastic. Cushion Lock is a curbside recyclable product that expands, protects and cushions shipping products."
