Cushioning and Void Fill Packing Products

Beyond the box itself, it’s vital to have a way to protect a shipment’s contents. Loose items can sustain damage by hitting the sides of the container or each other, potentially harming or breaking products even if the box appears safe. Proper cushioning is essential, and at Packaging HERO®, you’ll find box cushioning of all types at wholesale prices. We sell a wide range of void-fill materials so that you can customize your shipments and add cushioning based on their contents.

Selecting the Right Void Fill or Cushioning

It is important to find the right packaging void fill to protect the products in your shipment. First, start with a box that isn't too big or too small for the products that you're shipping. If there are multiple items in the package, you'll want to be sure that each one is secure.

Multiple options are available for cushioning box fillers, including bubble wrap, foam, air pillows, loose-fill packaging peanuts, kraft paper, and more. Fragile items should be wrapped individually. Be sure to use extra protection on sharp edges. Loose-fill and air cushion machines are also available.

Each type of void fill or cushioning is unique and fulfills different purposes for shipping. Bubble products provide air cushions for delicate objects, keeping them in place and preventing impact damage. Vermiculite creates a stiff surface that locks products into place, and shipping paper is a relatively inexpensive void-fill option that’s exceptional for items with hard edges or corners.
