A guide to Protective Packaging

 Protective packaging is all about balance. Of course, you need to use sufficient packaging material to protect your product during shipping. On the other hand, too much can be seen as wasteful. How much protective packaging you use will depends on your products and how you’re shipping them.  You need to consider weight, size, and how fragile. You should also consider if you’re shipping it as a single item or as in a muti-pick pack.



Protective Packaging examples:  As we mentioned, being mindful of the protective packaging you choose is important, so we’ve included some examples of protective packaging to get you started…

Air Pillows – there are many great options if air cushions are your protective packaging of choice! A great system is an Air Pillow System, it creates efficient, on-demand air pillow void fill from a compact roll of film – it is money well spent. Perfect for larger or growing operations!

Paper Cushioning – if paper is your protective packaging of choice, there are lots of options available. Polyair Hexel Wrap is an innovative eco-friendly paper cushioning system designed for shipping fragile items with peace of mind. It combines expandable die-cut honeycomb paper with a tissue liner.  AirWave-2 which produces 100% compostable paper air pillows and is a much greener option over standard poly air pillows.  Then for the heavier items and bulky products you have the Polyair X-Pad paper system.  Fast and efficient for high volume operations.  

Bio loose fill packing peanuts – this eco-friendly, pourable loose fill is 100% compostable and perfect for filling voids, especially awkward spaces around packed items. This makes it ideal for putting multiple picks into one box or packing products that vary in sizes. We recommend this product for less fragile items, as sometimes movement in pack can occur during transit.

Bubble Wrap and PE Foam rolls which is an excellent product material for wrapping fragile items and for filling in a large void within the carton.  Foam is a great material for surface protection and comes in various thicknesses.

So, what exactly does this mean, and why should businesses care? Before delving into the specifics of reinforced edges, it is essential to understand the role of pallet wrap. The primary purpose of wrapping pallets is to stabilize and secure products during transportation or storage. Pallet wrap must be durable and resilient to withstand a variety of stresses, including load shifting, vibrations, and even environmental factors like moisture and dust.
