Spiral Fill

Discover Packaging HERO® Paper Spiral Cushion Fill

Paper spiral cushion fill from Packaging HERO® combines protective void fill with an attractive presentation for gift boxes, subscription boxes, ecommerce orders, retail packaging, and promotional shipments.

The large 1/8" paper spirals expand as they are lifted and shaken, creating lightweight cushioning that helps fill open space around packaged products. The spiral shape also adds color and texture to the unboxing experience without the mess associated with smaller shredded-paper fillers.

Benefits of Spiral Paper Fill

• Effective Void Fill: Fills open space to help limit product movement inside the package.
• Lightweight Cushioning: Helps cushion products without adding significant package weight.
• Expands for Use: Expands to approximately 10 times its original packed volume when properly fluffed.
• Large, Dustless Spirals: Supports a cleaner packing process and helps reduce mess during unpacking.
• Decorative Presentation: Adds color, texture, and visual interest to retail and ecommerce packaging.
• Easy Application: Simply lift, shake, and place the expanded paper spirals around the product.
• Paper-Based Material: Provides an alternative to plastic loose-fill materials for appropriate applications.

How to Use Paper Spiral Cushion Fill

1. Lift the Fill: Remove the required amount of compressed spiral fill from the case.
2. Shake and Fluff: Separate and expand the paper spirals to create cushioning volume.
3. Create a Base Layer: Place expanded fill beneath the product when bottom cushioning is needed.
4. Position the Product: Center the item inside the box or container.
5. Fill Remaining Voids: Place additional spiral fill around and above the product to reduce movement.

The amount of fill required depends on the product’s dimensions, weight, fragility, and the amount of open space inside the package. Test the completed package under expected handling conditions, particularly when shipping fragile or heavy products.
