Protective Packaging Materials

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.

Curbside Recyclable Mailers

Save both money and the planet with curbside recyclable mailers, a protective packaging product many consumers look for when shopping online.

Foam in Place

Foam in place packaging, or “on-demand” foam, creates a custom cushion around fragile, heavy items.

Suspension and Retention

This packaging surrounds products with a strong, low-slip film. It’s fast, cost effective, high performance and easy to use.

Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap offers an alternative to loose fill. This flexible cushioning is lightweight and clean. It also allows for transparent product identification.

Air Bags

Air Bag systems deliver air-filled cushions on demand. They’re ideal for workstation or on-line applications. Features include:

  • Provide excellent protection and efficient void fill while reducing material and shipping costs
  • Can be produced in a wide range of sizes
  • Versatile, On-Demand Air Bag Packaging
  • Saves Valuable Warehouse Space
  • Fast and Easy To Use
  • Clean, Professional-Looking Packages
  • Outstanding, Lightweight Protection
  • Enhanced Customer Satisfaction
