WHEN SHOULD I USE VOID FILL IN MY PACKAGING?
Void fill packaging should be used whenever there is an empty space in your box. Without filling that gap, your items are at risk of rattling, moving or sliding inside the package during delivery. This increases the risk of damage in transit, so using loose fill such as packing peanuts or packing chips helps to keep everything secure. Void fill is particularly useful for packing bulky or odd-shaped items that don’t fit squarely into your cardboard boxes. It can also be used to help prevent any rigid corners from puncturing the outer box.
PACKING PEANUTS OR PACKING CHIPS – WHICH IS BEST?
There isn’t any real difference between packing peanuts and packing chips. Both products do exactly the same job, and they’re effectively just two different names to describe the same type of loose fill. Supplied in large bags for easy filling, this void fill is the go-to choice for so many retail and ecommerce companies across the UK. For the best performance, choose packing peanuts or chips with a curved shape – the pieces are designed to interlock as they shift inside the box, minimising movement and protecting your items.
WHAT OTHER TYPES OF LOOSE FILL PACKAGING CAN I USE?
While polystyrene packing chips offer a practical and cost-effective way to fill the empty space in your parcels, it’s not always the best solution. Paper void fill is a better option for goods requiring wrapped protection, particularly those with more regular square or rectangular shapes. Void fill packaging paper is also a cleaner alternative to packing peanuts when customers come to open their box, and can be disposed of far more easily.
