Pakaging Guide: How to choose the right Packaging Fillers

 

Packaging fillers are used for fragile products such as glass, ceramics, etc. They are usually one of the most important elements in the packaging of a product. Often, packaging fillers are one of the most important elements in a product's box.

These fillers play the following roles in product packaging:

Set Rigidly In Place

preventing internal movement of the product and reducing impact and vibration during transport. Different types of fillers provide different levels of fixation.

 Aesthetics

Increase the exposure and visual appeal of the product. Fillers can be used as an auxiliary element in the design to make the product more attractive.

Cushioning

Reduces the risk of product damage by minimising impact and vibration during transport. Fillers provide protection even in the event of accidental movement or improper placement.

Different types of packaging fillers have different materials, sizes, and cushioning effects used in the manufacturing process.

The following are common types of packaging fillers

Customised paper trays and dividers

Trays and dividers are used to separate and secure the contents of a box, usually for food, cosmetics or bottles. The material used is cardboard.

Air Pillow

An inflated plastic bag that provides a good cushioning effect for fragile items such as wine.

Transparent Bubble Wrap

Mainly used for mailing fragile items, it is one of the most commonly used tools to protect products.

Colour Filled Paper Strips

Often used for packaging cosmetics and premium gifts, a variety of colours can provide a high-quality cushioning effect. In addition, filler strips can also be used to display products. 

How to choose?

 

It is important to consider the fragility of the product. If the product requires special protection, packaging filler must be used during transport. Usually, products such as clothing can be shipped without any filler. However, fragile items such as glass or ceramics need to be secured and cushioned with filler.

 

Choosing the right packaging filler is also a matter of matching the product to the filler. If you are concerned about the environment, it is advisable to choose paper fillers over plastic. In addition, certain fillers can increase the exposure of your product, such as a beautifully designed paper insert.
