Paper Materials Selected Around the Product and Packing Process
Moving to paper protective packaging involves more than substituting one material for another. Severn Packaging assesses the product, carton, damage risks and operator workflow before recommending the right cushioning, wrapping or void-fill format, together with compatible dispensing equipment and a dependable supply plan.
Machinery and Materials from One Supplier
One team can specify the paper format, dispensing equipment and workstation arrangement, simplifying compatibility and ongoing support.
Paper-Based and Widely Recyclable
Paper formats can support simpler end-of-life messaging and help reduce reliance on plastic protective materials where the application allows.
Planned Stock and Repeat Supply
Approved material specifications can be supported through forecasting and stock-holding arrangements aligned with expected usage.
Protection Tested Before Changeover
Representative products and cartons can be trialled to confirm cushioning, pack stability, material use and operator handling.

Pair Your Paper Materials with the Right Packaging Machine
Paper performance depends on how the material is converted, dispensed and presented to the operator. Our paper cushioning machines produce structured cushions for wrapping, blocking and bracing, while the automatic paper void-fill machine expands compact paper on demand for fast carton filling. Machine position, stands, hoppers and workstation integration can be planned around the packing process.

How We Choose the Right Paper Packaging Material
Understand Your Product and Pack
We review the product, carton, current packaging and the main causes of damage or inefficiency.
- Consider product weight, fragility and surface sensitivity
- Review carton size, empty space and current material use
- Identify damage risks and packing-process constraints
Compare Suitable Paper Formats
We assess paper cushioning, HexcelWrap and Hexafil to identify the right solution for wrapping, protection or void filling.
- Match each material to its intended protection task
- Consider presentation, storage and operator handling
- Balance protection with practical material use
Test and Confirm the Solution
Where appropriate, we trial the selected material with representative products before agreeing the specification and ongoing supply.
- Check protection, pack stability and ease of use
- Confirm the material format and dispensing method
- Plan repeat supply around expected consumption
Frequently Asked Questions
Paper protective packaging materials cushion, wrap and fill void space around products to prevent damage in transit, offering a plastic-free alternative to bubble wrap and foam.
Structured paper cushioning is used for impact protection, wrapping and blocking and bracing. HexcelWrap is a honeycomb paper wrap that conforms around fragile or irregular products, while Hexafil expands into a lightweight paper structure for filling empty space in cartons.
Paper-based protective packaging is generally suitable for paper and cardboard recycling, subject to local collection rules. The exact material construction and disposal guidance should be confirmed for the selected product.
Yes. HexcelWrap and structured paper cushioning can replace bubble wrap or foam in many applications. Representative products should be tested to confirm cushioning, surface protection and pack stability before changing over.
Yes. Severn Packaging can assess representative products and cartons, compare suitable paper formats and run packing trials to evaluate protection, material use, presentation and operator handling.
Yes. Once the material and pack method are approved, repeat supply and stock-holding arrangements can be planned around forecast demand, agreed volumes and operational requirements.
