Are you looking at packaging your products, and unsure which type of fill to use? No matter the size, shape or weight of the items you’re shipping, choosing the right fill is key to ensuring your products arrive safely at their destination. There are a number of potential products available for you to minimize movement and maximize protection within your shipping boxes or bags, and we have highlighted the benefits of each below. Read on for the information you need on different filler types to pack your boxes efficiently!
Different Types of Box Fillers:
Bio-Fill
Bio-Fill is an easy to use, safe packaging filler. Safe for you, your staff and the customer, bio-fill is 100% biodegradable and perfect for filling in any gaps and spaces amongst your items. We recommend bio-fill for packing books, CD’s, bottles and more! Overall bio-fill is a convenient, natural packing solution that provides high quality cushioning for your products.
Bubble Wrap
Almost everyone knows the joy of popping the bubbles in bubble wrap. However this fun packaging product is more than just entertainment; it is an efficient way to fill space and hold your items safely together. Bubble wrap can be used when moving, storing and shipping your items. Not only can you use bubble wrap to wrap your items, it can be rolled or scrunched to fill large gaps and spaces left by your items and provides adequate cushioning however it’s used. Jetbox offers bubble wrap in small orders as well as bulk, wholesale amounts; ideal for ecommerce stores or for those with a large amount of boxes to pack.
Butchers Paper
Butchers Paper is a versatile, fully recyclable fill option. Similar to bubble wrap, butchers paper can be crinkled, shredded, and torn into all sorts of sizes and shapes to fit the needs of your items. Butchers paper is also good at absorbing excess humidity, which can be particularly useful depending on the items you’re shipping and where they’re travelling. Minimize impact and maximum sustainability with butchers paper.
Stretch Wrap
While hand stretch wrap isn’t traditionally considered a filler, it is essential in protecting your products for safe shipping. Stretch wrap has a number of uses, including preserving food and beverages for shipping and protecting retail products while on shelves. At Jetbox, our stretch wrap is super stretchy and can be rolled by hand to provide superior protection to your items, shipping boxes and more!
