Packaging fillers: sustainable solutions to reduce returns

Protective packaging. Space filling. Wrapping.

These terms refer to any coating and packaging protectors that are added to the inside of a shipping package to protect the goods during handling and transport.

There are several effective solutions as fillers and each type is unique in terms of functionality, aesthetics and sustainability.

In fact, packaging fillers are much more than just a filling for shipping boxes. Increasingly, they are being used to add a ‘wow’ factor to presentation.

Let us go into more detail.

 

What are packaging fillers

Therefore, the questions to ask yourself before choosing which packaging filling materials to adopt are:

Are my products fragile?

Are my products very heavy?

Are my products prone to corner damage?

Does my packaging have excess space that could cause my products to shift, bend, get damaged or scratched during transport?

Is it important to me and my brand that my customers receive a package that is easy and pleasant to open?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, contact us to find out which filler is right for you. We have a number of sustainable solutions to fill and protect your products, reconciling utility and sustainability.
