Abstract: An arrangement for producing embossed cushioning material from an initially flat material comprises an embossing device for providing a plurality of embossed protrusions to the material, an undulating device comprising undulated forming spaces which creates undulations in the initially flat material prior to the undulated material being provided to the embossing device, and a conveying means for conveying the initially flat material along a transport path in a continuous process through the undulated forming spaces. It is that suggested that the undulating device, seen in the direction of the transport path, comprises at least two stages each comprising an undulated forming space, the undulated forming space of a downstream stage differing in number and/or height of undulations from the undulated forming space of an upstream stage.

Abstract: A supply of cushioning material for wrapping at least one object comprises a stack formed of a multitude of prefabricated sheets of three-dimensional cushioning material. The invention proposes that adjacent sheets are connected to each other by means of a releasable adhesive system, the adhesive system being designed such that the connection can be released without auxiliary means, i.e. without special heat exposure and without chemicals and without special tools simply by mechanical action, and non-destructively, i.e. without damaging the cushioning material.
