Replacing Plastic Air Pillows with Sustainable Honeycomb Wrap
Replace plastic air pillows with honeycomb paper for recyclable void fill.
Replacing air pillows
Quick answer
Crumple or fold honeycomb paper into voids around products inside boxes. The expanded honeycomb structure provides cushioning and prevents item movement, the same function as air pillows. It is recyclable with the box (air pillows are not). No air pillow machine is needed, saving equipment and maintenance costs. Staff find it intuitive to use. The material cost is comparable when air pillow machine cost and maintenance are factored in.
