Shredded Paper for Packaging – Practical Protection That Doesn’t Cost the Earth

Shredded paper is one of those packaging materials that often gets overlooked, yet it’s a quiet workhorse when it comes to protecting your products in transit. Mind you, not all shredded paper is created equal – the thickness of the paper shreds, the cut style, and the density inside your boxes all affect how well your goods arrive. For instance, our shred in a box gives enough cushioning without wasted bulk, reducing both damage risk and unnecessary shipping weight.

Getting Protection Without Extra Weight

One of the biggest issues with packing fillers is balancing protection and weight; overstuffing boxes with heavy materials can push up postage costs. Shredded paper, which is 100% recycled natural shredded paper, offers excellent shock absorption by filling gaps with lighter material that spreads impact evenly. The crinkle cut versions trap air better than straight cuts, so you get more bounce for less paper - we find that’s especially useful when shipping glass or ceramics, where even small movements can lead to cracks.

Sizes That Actually Save Money

Buying shredded paper in the right size packs means you won’t be caught off guard because running out mid-pack is a hassle – and trust us, it happens more than anyone admits. 

Colour Options That Work in Real Life

Some businesses want shredded paper that’s just functional, others need to impress at unboxing. Offering coloured shredded paper like red and white or navy blue shredded paper helps create a brand-consistent experience without extra fuss. But be cautious - metallic shredded paper grabs attention but can sometimes rub off onto delicate items or packaging, especially if humidity’s high. For general use, natural or cream shredded paper stays clean and biodegradable, ticking all the boxes for eco-conscious companies – plus because it’s UK made, you’re avoiding supply chain delays.

Related Packaging Options Worth Considering

If shredded paper’s the starting point, you might also like our recyclable paper void fill for a mess-free alternative that still cushions well. For more structured protection, check out our hamper trays which hold products steady inside your boxes. And if presentation’s a priority, our double-faced satin ribbons tie everything together nicely, adding that finishing touch on top of your shredded paper packing.
