<p>A method of converting a sheet stock material into a relatively less dense dunnage product includes the step of supplying the sheet stock material to a conversion mechanism for converting the sheet stock material into the dunnage product by permanently deforming the sheet stock material into a nonplanar configuration to provide the dunnage product with a density less than the density of the stock material from which it is formed. The sheet stock material comprises one or more plies of paper having a caliper no less than about 3.5 points (about 0.089 millimeter) or a bulk caliper no less than about 3.4 points (about 0.086 millimeter) for a basis weight no greater than about 32 pounds (about 86 grams per square meter) and when a moisture content is no greater than about 10%.</p> |
