Particles of paper cushioning: the new way to pack ecologically

Wrapping paper, bubble wrap, corrugated cardboard, foam film, textile padding, etc. There is no shortage of methods for protecting your products. However, many logisticians are still looking for an environmentally friendly, lightweight and easy-to-handle solution to secure their parcels even more effectively.

What if you were to discover our new eco-responsible solution in terms of cushioning materials: paper cushioning particles?

Why should you use dunnage particles in your packaging?

Padding particles are part of the traditional packaging methods used in companies’ order picking processes… and for good reason!

They are ideal for :

• Filling the void in packages, and highlighting your goods on a layer of shock-resistant particles.
• Securely wedge products and prevent damage to goods during shipping.
• Ensuring that packages are lightweight, as these cushioning particles are even lighter than bubble wrap or kraft paper (smooth or corrugated) used as cushioning material.

However, until now, traditional cushioning particles were often made of petroleum-based plastics, such as polyethylene. This was not only not very environmentally friendly, but also not very elegant.

This is where the new RAJA paper padding particles become interesting!

What are paper padding particles?

Paper cushioning particles are an ideal alternative to polystyrene or corn starch cushioning particles or textile cushioning sheets. They are small particles that you put in your boxes, cartons and cases to fill the void and cushion your products.

They are star-shaped and interlock with each other in the package, allowing the products to remain in place in the packaging during transport.

Their significant advantage? They are made of 100% recycled and 100% recyclable paper. It is therefore a biosourced packaging product, which can go directly into the recycling channels. Ideal for eco-responsible packaging and protection!

What are the advantages of paper packing particles for your packaging?

First of all, paper packing particles provide optimal protection for the shipment of your products. These particles are very strong and form a particularly robust protective layer around the goods. It is an effective method of cushioning against shocks and vibrations.

They can be used safely with both light and heavy goods, as they do not deform under pressure.

What’s more, paper packing particles save you time when packaging your products. Operators simply slide the right amount of paper cushioning chips into the package, without the need to cut the cushioning material. No need to add to your picking process to protect your products in an environmentally friendly way!

As you have also read above, paper cushioning particles are truly environmentally friendly. Made from 100% recycled material and fully recyclable, they give your packaging an environmentally friendly image. A significant advantage for your brand, at a time when more and more consumers are sensitive to this issue!

Your customers don’t need to sort through the packaging when they open their orders. They can recycle them directly with the eco-responsible packaging you have chosen, in the appropriate sorting bin. These particles can also be reused, as they do not deform: they can be reused, for example, to send back products that your customers want to return.

Finally, these particles are elegant. Their shape of little stars, as if they were designed in origami, and the natural aspect of the paper, give a certain originality to your packages. This makes for a very interesting unboxing experience for your customers.

A product that adds to RAJA’s wide range of eco-responsible packaging solutions – such as paper tape, recyclable, reusable or bio-based containers, or bubble wrap!
