Company patents
Ranpak Corp.
Ranpak Corp. appears to be shifting its patent focus, with a notable decline in its historically strong Material Handling (Sheets, Webs) category, which saw a 50.0% YoY drop in 2024 and a 66.7% drop in 2025, now representing 23.9% of its portfolio. This shift is further evidenced by the significant decline in Containers & Packaging, which fell by 66.7% in 2025 and 100.0% so far in 2026, while showing an emerging interest in Manipulators & Robotics with its first patent in 2026.

Methods and apparatuses for creating unique package structures, such as recesses in specific materials, blister packages, or single-dose units, and for controlled dispensing of products from storage into these containers.
Apparatus and methods for automatically winding or unwinding continuous materials such as webs, cables, conduits, or yarns onto or from spools, reels, or bobbins, including aspects like layering, coreless winding, and material supply.
Systems and mechanisms designed for the automated movement, feeding, transfer, and destacking of products or packaging materials within a packaging line, often utilizing various types of conveyors and actuators.
Technologies and methods for securely closing, sealing, and maintaining the integrity of packages, including heat sealing, vacuum sealing, strapping, and specialized closure units, often involving material interaction and atmosphere control.
Mechanisms and control systems for reliably feeding, conveying, and separating print media, including managing media roll changes, adjusting airflow, and adapting to different media characteristics.
Systems and methods for precisely measuring, monitoring, and regulating the longitudinal tension in continuous webs of material during roll-to-roll processes to prevent defects, reduce waste, and ensure consistent product quality.
Systems that perform operations like cutting, folding, binding, or applying liquids to sheets or webs, often integrated within larger production lines such as printing or image forming apparatuses.
Integration of inspection apparatuses and digital printing units directly into packaging machines to monitor quality, apply information, or decorate packages during the continuous packaging process.
Household articles engineered with mechanisms for folding, retracting, or collapsing to reduce their footprint, facilitate storage, or enable portability.
Multi-layer polymer films engineered to provide superior barrier properties against gases (e.g., oxygen), moisture, or aromas, often incorporating heat-sealing or resealing mechanisms for food and product preservation.
