Have you ever noticed that at times a large box is used to pack a relatively small product? This results in your product being tossed around inside that big box. Be it a delicate and fragile product or a sturdy packed item, the empty space inside the box can lead to the product packaging or the product itself to be damaged.
This is where the Void Fill method of packing comes in handy. In this method, the empty spaces in the box are filled with materials like paper, styrofoam, or bubble wrap, so as to block the product from any kind of tumbling and/or movement. This ensures optimum security to the item whether it is fragile or hard.
A lot of different materials are used for the void fill process, but the most used one is paper due to its many advantages.
BENEFITS OF THE VOID FILL PROCESS
Having said about the definition of void fill, let us also talk about its advantages –
1. ECO-FRIENDLY
Paper void filling proves to be eco-friendly and conservative of nature as it involves recycled paper. Thus, this process does not involve any harm done to the environment and is a process that involves paper which is reused. Even though there are other options for the void filling process like bubble wrap and styrofoam, recycled paper, comparatively, is eco-friendly.
2. COST-EFFECTIVE
If recycled paper is used in this process then it is understood that the cost will be less. This can be proven less costly and thus benefit your company. Recycled paper just needs to be crumbled and stuffed in your box around the product.
3. MAXIMUM PROTECTION
Crumpled ball of paper is the best way to protect your product. A ball of paper or bubble wrap or styrofoam and such other alternatives are stuffed between the product and the box. This prevents the product from bouncing in the box and hence, protects the product and keeps it safe in the box which is irrespective of the pressure outside the box.
4. LESS LABOR WORK
Minimal labor is required when it comes to using the Void Fill method of packing boxes. Once the product is placed in the box, the box is only to be filled with packing items such as recycled paper or bubble wrap. This takes up hardly any time and therefore a very easy and effective way to ensure the product ships without damage.
5. ADVANCED MACHINES
Given the technological advances, there are machines that are used for the void fill process. These machines generate crumpled paper for the product to be stuffed in. Recycled paper is crumpled and given out through these machines and then used for the void filling process. The same process goes for bubble wrap, styrofoam and all the other alternatives.
It can be said that the void filling process holds a very significant place in the whole packaging process. You should make sure that your products reach you with utmost security and safety. Be it a small product or a big one, but the packaging should be done in such a way that ensures no harm to the product.
