Protective Packaging Materials

Protective Packaging Materials
Reduce Damage Rate

Finding the proper balance between right sized cartons and Protective Packaging solutions can be challenging. A Hughes certified packaging consultant is available to provide you with the answer.

We recommend a variety of different types of Protective Packaging Materials:

  • Curbside Recyclable Mailers: Make the switch from typical polymer-based bubble envelopes to 100% curbside recyclable mailers

  • Foam in Place: Liquid foam is poured into a bag or liner, where it quickly expands up to 200x its size, nestling the item in place

  • Suspension and Retention: Strong, clear film protects products from shock and vibration during shipping

  • Bubble Wrap: Offers an alternative to loose fill

  • Air Bags: Systems deliver air-filled cushions on demand

  • Paper Void Fill: Perfect for sharp products, having small voids or if you are promoting an environmental image

Learn more below. To discuss which protective packaging material would be best for your application, contact a Hughes Sales Representative today.
