[CS] Paper fillers from A to Z: Which one is right for you?

Looking for the ideal filling material? This can be a somewhat challenging task, as there are a number of them currently on the market. However, if you want to be environmentally friendly, paper fillers are a great alternative.

Switching to paper box fillers is a very responsible thing to do. Why? First of all, you will reduce the burden on the environment and you will also please your customers, as people prefer the paper alternative of filling more.

Paper fillers and their advantages

Plastic fillers are increasingly becoming a thing of the past and it’s no wonder. Since people are nowadays environmentally conscious and environmentally friendly, they prefer paper fillings.

Their biggest advantages are their light weight, easy handling and, last but not least, their recyclability. Paper fillings can be easily recycled after use, thus reducing the impact on the environment.

Bubble paper

You must have come across bubble wrap used as a box filler. However, this is made from plastic, which puts a strain on the environment. That’s why bubble wrap paper production is coming to the fore.

Bubble paper is made from 100% recyclable paper and is extremely durable. In fact, the air between the two layers of pressed paper absorbs any impact very easily. The recycled paper is also opaque, which guarantees absolute discretion of the shipment.

Handy Tip: If you’re looking for the perfect filler, bubble paper is also advantageous on a practical level. It is very easy to cut and even write on.

Silk paper – uses are wide-ranging

Do you need your packaged goods to look and feel elegant? Then tissue paper is the perfect solution. It is a very presentable packaging method that will wrap any consumer goods.

Silk paper is also ideal for clothing, handbags, shoes or jewellery to be put in a box. Wrapping such products in tissue paper will give them a touch of uniqueness. You can turn boring sales packaging into truly luxurious and elegant packaging that catches the eye at first glance.

Recycling from an old box

Cartons are also a great alternative to plastic filling materials. This recycling method allows you to produce a new type of paper filler. For example, by cutting up corrugated cardboard.

In this way, you can stuff the product in the packaging with enough so that it doesn’t move, while also protecting it sufficiently from any impact.

Remember: However, such filling materials have a slight disadvantage. They are not suitable for packing heavy items and products whose surface is sensitive to soiling. This is mainly because the corrugated board staple contains dust particles.
