Protective Packaging

What are the different types of protective packaging options?

Ensuring your items are well protected during transit is crucial, especially for fragile products requiring extra support. A popular choice for protective packaging is bubble wrap. This material, made from small or large air-filled bubbles, provides cushioning to keep items safe and secure on their journey.

Another excellent option is paper cushioning, which is increasingly favoured for its sustainability. corrugated sheets & rolls, featuring corrugated fluting on one side for padding and smooth paper on the other to prevent scratches, offers reliable protection. This combination helps ensure your items remain in pristine condition throughout transit.

What is the best eco-responsible packaging for fragile items?

With businesses shifting towards sustainable practices, packaging solutions must align with eco-conscious goals. For fragile items, Geami paper wrapping is a fantastic option. Combining die-cut Kraft paper with tissue interleaf paper, it creates a 3D honeycomb structure that provides excellent protection and an attractive presentation. Simply tear off what you need to avoid paper waste.

Can protective packaging be recycled?

Protective packaging is commonly used to cushion items in larger boxes and prevent movement during transit. If your packaging uses paper void fill, it is likely recyclable. Paper void fill can also be scrunched and packed around items for added support. For efficiency, consider systems that automatically scrunch paper for you, simplifying the process.

Loose fill chips are another popular void fill option, valued for their free-flowing nature, which makes it easy to fill gaps and support items securely. Recyclable options for these chips are readily available. For example, loose fill Master’in Access chips come in fully compostable or 100% recycled varieties, making them a sustainable choice for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental impact.
