Packing Paper FAQs
What is the purpose of packing paper?
Packing paper serves several essential purposes in the realm of packaging and shipping:
- Cushioning and Protection: This type of paper is primarily used to wrap and cushion items within a package or box. It provides a protective layer that prevents items from colliding with each other, minimising the risk of damage during transit. It’s especially useful for fragile and delicate items.
- Void Fill: When there’s empty space within a package, this type of paper can be crumpled and used as void fill. This helps secure the items in place, preventing shifting during shipping, which can lead to damage.
- Surface Protection: Packing paper can be used to protect the surfaces of items, particularly those with delicate finishes. Wrapping items in packing paper safeguards them from scratches, scuffs, and other surface damage.
- Absorbing Moisture: In humid or moist environments, packing paper can help absorb excess moisture, keeping the packaged items dry and safe.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Many businesses use packing paper because it’s eco-friendly and recyclable. It aligns with sustainability goals and demonstrates a commitment to reducing environmental impact.
In summary, packing paper is a versatile packaging material that enhances the safety and protection of items during shipping while offering sustainability benefits.
Is packing paper as good as bubble wrap?
The choice between packing paper and bubble wrap depends on the specific needs of your packaging and the items you’re shipping. Both materials have their advantages:
Packing Paper:
- Surface Protection: Packing paper is excellent for protecting the surfaces of items from scratches and scuffs. It’s often used for items with delicate finishes.
- Eco-Friendly: Packing paper is eco-friendly and recyclable. It aligns with sustainability goals and is a responsible choice for environmentally conscious businesses.
Bubble Wrap:
- Shock Absorption: Bubble wrap excels at shock absorption. The air-filled bubbles provide cushioning, making it ideal for fragile and delicate items.
- Air Pockets: The air pockets in bubble wrap create a protective barrier against impact, reducing the risk of damage during transit.
- Versatility: Bubble wrap is versatile and can be used for a wide range of items, from electronics to glassware, and it’s available in various bubble sizes for different levels of protection.
In summary, the choice depends on your specific packaging needs and priorities, such as cost, environmental impact, and the nature of the items being shipped. To find the ideal solution for your needs, talk to Macfarlane Packaging today.
Can I recycle packing paper?
Yes, in most cases, packing paper can be recycled. To ensure proper recycling, follow these steps:
- Check for Contamination: Before recycling, make sure the paperis clean and free from any contaminants like food residues, tape, or stickers. Remove any tape or labels from the paper.
- Follow Recycling Guidelines: Follow the recycling guidelines provided by your recycling service provider. Instructions can vary from one provider to another, so it’s essential to understand the specific rules in your case.
- Recycling Bin: Place the paper in your recycling bin or container designated for paper and cardboard recycling.
- Recycling Collection: On your scheduled recycling collection day, make sure to place your recycling bin at the designated collection area for pickup.
