Paper or plastic? You used to hear the question every time you went to the grocery store. Somewhere along the way, we, as a society, decided that plastic is better.

Or is it?

That depends on who you ask. Or what you're doing. Or what you need to protect.

It's time to give some thought to a paper void fill system.

Plastic void fill packaging has it's place, but so too does paper void fill packaging. Both protect your products during shipment. Both are recycleable. Both are fairly lightweight.

Box with Paper Is using paper void fill better than using plastic? It's time to ask the experts.

So, maybe it comes down to who you ask.

If you ask Easypack, a recent acquisition of one of our major vendors, they'd tell you paper void fill is better because that's what they sell. But, they're not just pushing their product to make money. They've got a list of the 10 reasons why paper is better than plastic. And it's not just them... more and more, the packaging industry is starting to see the benefits of paper void fill over plastic airbags.All of our paper is 100% recycled, 100% recyclable, and 100% biodegradable.
