A system includes a source of sheet material and a conversion machine. The conversion machine is configured to receive the sheet material and to form the sheet material into a fill material. The conversion machine further includes a cutting mechanism configured to cut the fill material. The cutting mechanism is configured such that, when cutting the fill material to form two pieces of fill material, uncut portions of the fill material remain between the two pieces of fill material. 一种系统包括片材材料源和转换机。转换机被配置成接收片材材料并将片材材料形成为填充材料。该转换机还包括切割机构，该切割机构被配置成切割填充材料。切割机构被配置成使得当切割填充材料以形成两片填充材料时，填充材料的未切割部分保留在两片填充材料之间。
