E-commerce packaging — FAQ

Which paper materials work best in e-commerce?

Paper void fill, packing paper rolls, packing paper sheets, kraft paper, flat inserts and pallet layer pads are most commonly used for e-commerce packing, protection and shipping.

When should I use paper void fill?

Paper void fill is a good choice when a product has free space inside the carton and may shift during transport. The paper stabilises the product and reduces movement inside the box.

How does packing paper differ from void fill?

Packing paper is mainly used for wrapping, interleaving and protecting products. Void fill is primarily for filling empty space inside a carton.

Can paper protection reduce plastic use?

Yes. In many shipping processes, paper void fill, packing paper and inserts can replace plastic cushioning materials. The choice depends on the product, box and required protection level.

How do I select the right paper materials for shipments?

Consider the product type, weight, box size, void space, packing method, monthly shipping volume and whether the material needs to fill, wrap, separate or reinforce.
