Build a protection stack
Start with the right outer—see cardboard boxes or mailing bags. Add an inner wrap for surface protection (bubble or tissue), stabilise with void-fill (chips or bio loose fill) and reinforce edges with profiles. Seal using appropriate tape.
Sustainability & cost control
Right-size packaging to limit DIM charges. Swap plastics for paper alternatives where protection allows, and choose compostable void-fill for eco-first operations. Standardise a small family of materials and train teams for consistent, damage-free packing.

Protective Packaging – Frequently Asked Questions
Use a layered approach: wrap in small-bubble, add paper pads/sheets between items, fill voids with bio loose fill, and reinforce edges using profiles.
For scuff-sensitive but not ultra-fragile goods, packing paper, honeycomb wrap or paper bubble wrap provide effective cushioning with easy recycling.
Bubble offers thicker, spring-like cushioning (great for heavier/delicate items). Honeycomb interlocks around products, is fully paper-based and ideal for eco-first brands and retail presentation.
Match to throughput: 15 cu ft for small stations, 30 cu ft for regular eCommerce, 45 cu ft for high-volume lines. See Packing Chips for options.
Add L/U/Corner profiles to resist strap tension and stacking, use layer pads, and ensure snug cartons with minimal void.
Most paper solutions are widely recyclable. Biodegradable loose fill is compostable. Bubble recyclability depends on local facilities; consider paper alternatives if you require single-stream disposal.
