Pak On Demand™ Mailer System

Pak on Demand Pouch System

Efficient. Recyclable. E-Commerce.

Companies need innovative packaging and automation solutions that can deliver increased productivity and improved sustainability. WestRock’s PAK ON DEMAND™ Mailer System produces custom, fiber-based mailers and seals the package for shipment – all with a single operator.

PAK ON DEMAND is a small footprint machine engineered to help reduce labor costs and increase packing rates. It utilizes KD FOLD™, a proprietary fiber-based substrate that’s delivered on compact, easy-to-store pallets. The result is a protective package that is curbside recyclable.
