Void fill packaging uses material such as peanuts, paper or air pillows to fill spaces in packages. This eliminates the voids within a package and prevents the packaged item from moving around and possibly causing damage. Void fill paper packaging creates dust & although reusable, most of the time it gets thrown out. Peanut packaging is messy and time consuming. The time spent each day loading stored peanuts, and cleaning up the mess at each packaging station creates quite a bit of work. Additionally clients complain about the mess associated with the peanut packaging material.
