What protective cushion is available when shipping my fragile goods inside a box?

When you put in your fragile goods inside a box you may need some cushioning material to protect your goods during transit or you may need some void fill to ensure your item doesn’t move around inside the mailing box.

Bubble Wrap – This is the most common protective cushion used in the eCommerce industry, it is super cheap and does a great job protecting the wrapped item. It comes in different widths to suit all business needs ranging from 250mm, 300mm, 375mm, 500mm, 750mm, 1500mm. The downside to this is the negative environmental impact given it is completed made from plastic.

Bio Fill/Packing Peanuts – This type of void fill is very common and at the same time it is Eco-friendly as it is made from corn starch and soluble in water. Relatively cheap but it does take a lot of room to store.

How do I secure goods properly on a pallet?

Clear or Black stretch film is the perfect wrapping material for pallets. Our shrink wraps are 23 micron thick and very stretchable making it ideal for hand wrapping pallets to ensure your pallet of goods arriving at its destination in one piece. Expert tip on how to wrap a pallet is to tightly wrap the boxes by leaning towards the edges of the pallet and also ensure you wrap the pallet together with the boxes on top of it. The most common product is the clear stretch film as it is see through so the goods are visible even after wrapping, while some businesses prefer the black stretch film so no one can see the boxes secured inside which is perfect for valuable goods.
