Ranpak introduces Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid for sustainable packaging

USA – Ranpak, a leading provider of environmentally sustainable, paper-based packaging solutions for e-commerce and industrial supply chains, has introduced a groundbreaking solution, the Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid, to meet the growing demand for flexible box branding.

The Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid system, developed by Ranpak, allows for the application of up to four different branded lids using a single Cut’it! EVO machine.

This innovative solution automatically adjusts carton sizes to their fill level and securely attaches lids with glue.

By facilitating labor savings, optimizing end-of-line flow, enhancing the unboxing experience, reducing shipping costs, minimizing material usage, and improving stock management, the Cut’it! EVO solution offers a compelling return on investment (ROI).

Responding to the need for flexible box branding, Ranpak’s Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid solution enables a single packaging line to efficiently cater to diverse customers, optimizing space and preparing businesses for future demands.

Moreover, this solution elevates the customer’s unboxing experience by providing easy-to-open boxes with tear-off strips. The aesthetically pleasing and robust boxes are tamper-evident due to the glued lids, which contribute to reducing shipping damage and product returns.

Bryan Boatner, Global Managing Director of Ranpak Automation, emphasized the significance of the Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid solution, stating, “As market dynamics shift, the evolution of Cut’it! EVO Multi-Lid stands at the forefront, redefining the future of packaging and offering unrivaled ROI that extends far beyond labor savings. It truly offers customers the ability to transform their end-of-line supply chain operation.”

In 2022, the company launched of its automated packaging solution, Cut’it! EVO. Ranpak said that the machine scales up packaging output, reduces operating costs and enhances sustainability for customers’ operations.

The solution also reduces temporary labor and saves an average of 25% of the dimensional volume to be shipped. It can be integrated as part of a typical end-of-line setup in a packing operation.

Once products are packed, Cut’it! EVO determines the highest filling point of the carton, cuts excess cardboard and folds it to reduce the height. It then automatically applies a glued lid to the box to prepare it for palletizing and shipping.

Ranpak said the machine can be integrated as part of a typical end-of-line setup in a packing operation to process boxes ranging from 150x230mm up to 450x650mm in size.
