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.
