Abstract
According to some embodiments, an expansion system for expanding expandable slit sheet paper is provided that includes: a roll of expandable slit sheet paper, and a friction member for applying friction along a lateral side of said expandable slit sheet paper. In some examples, the friction member includes a brush including a plurality of elongated bristles or fibers. In some examples, the friction member imparts sufficient resistance to an expandable slit sheet paper that is pulled past said friction member such that said expandable slit sheet paper expands to form fully opened cells.
