Void fill packaging includes the materials used inside a box to fill empty spaces and keep items stable during shipping. By filling the void around products, businesses can reduce movement in transit and lower the risk of damage. Options such as paper void fill, loose fill chips, air cushions and other protective packaging materials help secure items and improve packing efficiency when preparing orders.

At Kite Packaging, we stock a wide range of void fill packaging designed for businesses across the UK. Our selection includes paper void fill material, loose fill solutions, cushioning systems and other packaging materials suitable for many packing operations. With solutions available for different packing environments and shipping requirements, businesses can choose products that protect goods, control cost and support an efficient packaging process.

Choosing the Right Void Fill Solution

Selecting the right void fill solution depends on the products being packed, the size of the shipping box, and the level of protection required during transit. Filling empty spaces inside a box helps prevent movement, which reduces the risk of damage when goods are transported. Many businesses choose paper void fill, loose fill or air cushions depending on their packing environment and the items being shipped.

When choosing void fill packaging, consider:

The size of the empty spaces inside the box
Whether items need extra protection during shipping
The speed and efficiency of your packing operations
Whether eco friendly or environmentally friendly packaging materials are preferred

Using the right void fill packaging solution helps protect products in transit while improving the overall packaging process.

Loose Fill Chips and Packing Peanuts

Loose fill chips are commonly used to fill free space around items inside a box. These lightweight materials help cushion products and reduce movement during shipping, making them suitable for protecting delicate items in transit.

Our range includes EcoFlo loose fill, made from maize-based starch. This material is biodegradable and environmentally friendly, making it a popular option for businesses working toward sustainability goals. We also supply coloured loose fill chips that add presentation when packaging products, as well as traditional polystyrene loose fill, which some customers prefer due to its clean finish and reduced dust.

Loose fill products are available in different bag sizes, helping businesses suit their packing operations while maintaining efficient storage and packing efficiency.

Paper Void Fill and Cushioning Solutions

Paper void fill is widely used by businesses that want a reliable and eco friendly packaging solution. Made from materials such as kraft paper and recycled paper, this type of void fill helps fill empty spaces in a box while providing excellent shock absorption during transit.

Kite Packaging offers several systems designed for different packing environments. The Smart fill box provides a simple manual dispenser suitable for small packing areas, while systems such as Smart fill manual, Smart fill electronic and Smart cushion are suitable for higher volume packing operations.

Benefits of using paper void fill solutions include:

Reliable protection for items inside the box
Flexible paper that can be shaped to fit different products
Recyclable solutions that support sustainability goals
A clean and efficient method for improving packing efficiency

These systems help businesses protect products during shipping while supporting a more sustainable packaging process.

Air Cushions and Inflatable Packaging

Air cushions provide a lightweight void fill solution for protecting products during shipping. These inflatable packaging materials fill empty spaces inside a box and help reduce movement during transit. By surrounding items with air-filled chambers, businesses can improve protection while keeping packaging weight low.

Our Mini Air system allows packing teams to produce air cushions on demand using a compact desktop machine. A variety of film types are available, producing different cushion styles for wrapping and filling space inside the shipping box. These cushions can be used as a protective packaging alternative to materials such as bubble wrap or traditional plastic fillers.

Air pouch protection is also available for fragile products. These pouches inflate quickly using a built-in valve and create a tough chamber around the item, helping to protect delicate items and reduce breakages during shipping.

Foam Protection and Corner Protection

Foam protection products provide strong cushioning for items that require extra protection in transit. These materials are commonly used to protect corners, edges and surfaces that may be exposed to impacts during the packaging and shipping process.

Our range includes foam corner and edge protection in several profiles, including:

L-shaped profiles
U-shaped protection
Tulip profiles
Round corner protection

Foam blocks with adhesive backing are also available, allowing businesses to place protection exactly where it is needed inside the box. These solutions help separate fragile products and provide reliable cushioning when transporting delicate items.

Paper Protection and Sustainable Packaging Materials

Paper-based void fill packaging is widely used by businesses looking for environmentally friendly packaging materials. Products such as void fill papers, shredded paper, wood wool and Hivewrap provide an effective way to fill spaces inside a box while supporting sustainability goals.

These materials are often made from recycled paper or natural fibres such as wood pulp, making them a sustainable option for many packing operations. Paper protection is lightweight, easy to store and suitable for a range of packaging environments where businesses want an eco friendly alternative to plastic fillers.

Using paper-based materials can help reduce environmental impact while still offering reliable protection for products during transit.
