Much is written about the technical, environmental and commercial challenges faced today by specifiers of primary packaging in the pharmaceutical industry. Less frequently visited is the subject of secondary packaging and specifically the options available for cushioning and void fill materials. These types of product are typically used in 'pick and pack' warehouses.
A carton may be filled with a number of different products that require protection during transit. Inevitably there will be a mix of large and small, heavy and light and some products that require a higher degree of protection than others. Selecting the right type of void fill is essential to minimise damage, maintain a positive customer relationship and successfully manage the budget. It could justifiably be argued that cushioning and void fill products are not at the glamorous end of the packaging industry.
They are often the last packaging item to be considered, often when the rest of the packaging budget has been used. However, these types of products are equally important in developing an overall packaging strategy for the company. Importantly, the type of void fill selected must be functional, cost-effective and offer an improved environmental performance over traditional materials.
