Frequently Asked Questions
What is void fill in packaging?
Void fill is protective packaging material used to fill empty space inside a carton, helping prevent products from moving, shifting or becoming damaged during transport. Common void fill options include kraft paper, air pillows and other cushioning materials. For businesses wanting a paper-based solution, a paper void fill machine can convert kraft paper into protective cushioning as part of the packing process.
Is Void Fill recyclable?
Whether void fill is recyclable depends on the material used. Kraft paper void fill is generally recyclable through appropriate paper recycling streams, provided it is clean and accepted by the relevant local recycling service. A kraft paper void fill system can help businesses incorporate paper-based cushioning into their packing process while reducing reliance on certain plastic void fill materials.
What is paper void fill?
Paper void fill is kraft or other suitable packaging paper used to fill empty spaces inside cartons and provide cushioning around products during storage and transport. A paper void fill machine can form or crimp the paper to create additional volume and protection, helping reduce product movement while making efficient use of packaging material.
What void fill options are available for e-commerce shipping in Australia?
Australian e-commerce businesses can choose from paper void fill, air pillows, air cushioning and other protective packaging solutions depending on the products being shipped. A kraft paper void fill system can be particularly suitable for businesses wanting paper-based protection, while the best solution will depend on product weight, fragility, carton size, packing volume and required packing speed.
What is a paper void fill dispenser?
A paper void fill dispenser is a packaging system used to dispense or convert kraft paper into protective material for filling empty carton space and cushioning products during transit. A paper void fill dispenser can help improve packing efficiency and provide consistent access to cushioning material at a packing station. Manual and automated solutions can suit different packing volumes and operational requirements.
How do I choose the right kraft paper void fill machine?
The right kraft paper void fill machine depends on your packing volume, product weight and fragility, carton sizes, required cushioning and available packing space. Higher-speed machines can suit busy packing operations, while compact or adjustable systems can be more appropriate for smaller workstations. Gateway Packaging offers crimped, V-shaped and padded kraft paper cushioning systems for different protection requirements.
Is kraft paper void fill suitable for fragile and heavy products?
Yes, kraft paper void fill can protect fragile and heavier products when the appropriate paper and cushioning system are selected for the application. Products requiring greater impact protection may benefit from dense, padded paper cushioning, while lighter products may only require paper to block movement and fill empty carton space.
What is the difference between void fill and cushioning?
Void fill primarily occupies empty space inside a carton to reduce product movement, while cushioning is designed to absorb shock and protect products from impact. Some kraft paper systems can perform both functions by filling carton space while forming structured paper cushioning around the product.
Can a paper void fill system improve packing efficiency?
Yes, a paper void fill system can improve packing efficiency by producing protective paper cushioning on demand at the packing station. This can reduce manual paper preparation, provide more consistent cushioning and help operators pack cartons more efficiently. The productivity benefit will depend on the machine, packing volume and existing packing process.
