This October, WiAIR is connecting with packaging professionals at two major international trade shows in Tokyo and Chicago. At TOKYO PACK 2026, we are showcasing Paper-Bubble and its compatible equipment, meeting customers and discussing practical applications for paper-based protective packaging.

Next, we’ll head to Chicago to present our broader range of products, equipment, and packaging solutions at PACK EXPO International 2026.

As sustainability requirements evolve and packaging operations face growing pressure to control costs, businesses need to look beyond simply replacing one material with another. Effective packaging also depends on product protection, warehouse space, packing speed, and material utilization. WiAIR brings together paper cushioning materials, compatible equipment, and flexible packaging combinations to help businesses address these needs across different products and applications.

Inside TOKYO PACK 2026: Turning Paper into Practical Protection

At TOKYO PACK 2026 in Tokyo, WiAIR is showcasing Paper-Bubble and its compatible equipment, giving visitors an opportunity to explore how paper-based materials can support product wrapping, surface protection, and transit protection.

Beyond the materials themselves, the equipment demonstrates how paper can be converted into cushioning packaging as needed. Producing packaging materials on demand allows businesses to better align production with actual shipping requirements, potentially reducing the need to stock large quantities of pre-made materials and freeing up valuable warehouse space.

For businesses handling changing order volumes or a wide range of product sizes, this approach offers greater flexibility in day-to-day packaging operations. The goal is not simply to change the packaging material, but to find a more practical way to manage the entire packing process.

Next Stop: Chicago — Let’s Meet at PACK EXPO International 2026

Our conversations in Tokyo are continuing, and we’re preparing to bring WiAIR’s packaging solutions to Chicago. We warmly invite customers, industry partners, packaging engineers, and supply chain professionals to visit our booth and discover new possibilities in paper-based protective packaging.

At PACK EXPO International 2026, WiAIR will showcase a broad range of paper-based cushioning materials and compatible equipment, including Paper-Bubble, 3D Honeycomb Paper Mat, Honeycomb Paper, Honeycomb Paper Sleeve, and paper cushion products.

Each material serves a different purpose, from wrapping and surface protection to cushioning and void fill. Understanding how these materials work individually—and how they can be combined—can help businesses develop packaging that better matches their products and packing operations.

From 1g to 500kg: Packaging Solutions for Different Needs

Products vary widely in weight, shape, fragility, and protection requirements. A solution that works for a small, lightweight item may not provide sufficient protection for a heavy or irregularly shaped product.

WiAIR combines packaging materials, equipment, and application solutions to help businesses explore options suited to different product requirements, from lightweight items to products weighing up to 500 kg. Depending on the application, a single material may be sufficient, while combining several paper-based materials can provide more flexible protection.

The right approach considers more than cushioning performance alone. Material consumption, packing speed, storage requirements, and the practical needs of the packing line all influence the overall effectiveness of a packaging solution.

At WiAIR, we look forward to learning more about your packaging challenges, sharing application insights, and discussing practical ways to optimize your existing processes. Whether you are evaluating alternatives to plastic protective packaging, looking to improve packing efficiency, or seeking better use of warehouse space, we welcome the opportunity to explore potential solutions with you.

Join us in Chicago, October 18–21, 2026. Bring your packaging challenges, product requirements, and ideas. Let’s discuss how the right combination of paper-based materials and equipment can help you move toward more efficient, flexible packaging operations.
