How to use
Loosen a small amount of filler and spread it across the base of the box or basket. Position the gift, then add more strands around it to create an even presentation. Combine the filler with appropriate protective packaging when items are fragile. Select a colour that complements the wrapping, ribbon or event theme.
Choosing packaging for your items
Match the packaging to the dimensions, shape and handling needs of the contents. Decorative wrapping and filler can complement protective packing, but fragile items may also need an appropriate outer box and extra cushioning. Check your selected size or colour before completing the order.

Shredded paper filler: Practical Use Guide
Start with the item and journey
Consider the shape, surface and handling needs of the item before choosing the amount of packaging. A gift presented by hand and a parcel sent through a delivery network need different levels of protection. Measure the item with its inner packaging and choose an outer box that leaves room for the appropriate protective layers without unnecessary empty space.
Prepare a clear packing area
Work on a clean, dry surface with the item, packaging and finishing materials within reach. Remove grit or loose debris that could mark delicate surfaces. Measure before cutting material, and prepare one wrapped sample when packing several similar items. A sample helps you estimate material use and identify awkward corners before repeating the process across a larger order.
Separate decoration from protection
Use decorative material to improve presentation and suitable protective material to address impact, movement or abrasion. Lightweight filler or wrapping does not replace a rigid outer box when one is needed. Keep fragile items separated from each other and protect exposed edges. Check the complete packaging arrangement rather than relying on a single layer to perform every job.
Check the fit before closing
Place the packed item inside its outer packaging and check that it sits comfortably. Avoid forcing a lid closed or compressing delicate parts. Where cushioning is needed, fill gaps with suitable material so the item does not move freely. Make sure labels remain visible and that the recipient can identify an easy opening point without cutting directly towards the contents.
Plan material quantities
Prepare one complete example and note approximately how much material it uses. Multiply that amount by the number of items, allowing for trimming and variations in shape. Keep unused pieces that are clean and large enough for future projects. A consistent packing sequence can reduce repeated measuring and help you maintain the same presentation across customer orders or event gifts.
Keep supplies ready for reuse
Store remaining material in a clean, dry place where it will not be crushed, tangled or exposed to spills. Keep colours and sizes separated so the next project is easy to prepare. Before reusing packaging, inspect it for damage and ensure it still suits the item. Remove old labels from outer packaging so delivery instructions remain clear.
What should I confirm before ordering?
Check the selected pack size, roll dimensions or quantity against your intended project. Colour and presentation choices should complement the contents, but the shape and handling needs determine how much protection is required. If you are packing an unusually fragile, valuable or heavy item, plan the entire packaging system and test the fit before preparing the rest of the order.
Before you complete your order
Check the selected option and quantity carefully against your plans. Measure the items or space involved before choosing a size, and allow room for any accessories or packaging you intend to use. If an exact specification is essential to your project, confirm it before ordering. Keep your order details for reference when selecting matching supplies or planning a repeat purchase.
