Our most popular

• SizzlePak shredded paper is our most popular for its ease, efficiency and affordability

• While many competitors offer 2-ply shredded paper, our 3-ply one is thicker and more durable meaning your fill won’t tear as you pack, and you need less of it to fill your boxes.

• Ready-to-pack means it requires no detangling. Simply pick up a handful and drop into your package. Effortless!

Best used for

• Ideal for packing, specifically for heavy objects like jars and bottles.

• The clever concertina-style cut means the shredded paper filling retains its shape without compacting in transit.

Eco-friendly

• Comes in an amazing collection of colours for every season, all of which are 100% reusable, recyclable and biodegradable.

• The only exception is metallic colours that are not biodegradable.

Good to know

The coarse texture of SizzlePak creates a less premium look and has a more abrasive feel. But since it’s more weighty you need less of it to fill your package, saving you those pennies!

The chic option

• Very Fine is indeed made with a finer texture, which gives a more upmarket look and a professional finish.

• The softer, less coarse texture makes for an elegant gift box.

Best used for

• Made from 1.5mm cut shred, Very Fine is ideal for small lightweight boxes and gift bags.

• Virtually dust-free, this is widely popular across the hamper, food and deli trade as it can directly come into contact with food.

Good to know

• Very Fine needs to be teased apart due to the finer texture.

• Due to its light weight, you need more of Very Fine to fill a hamper, making it a little pricier.

• Not the ideal choice for large heavier items.

Eco-friendly

• Comes in an array of vibrant colours, all 100% recyclable and biodegradable.

The most natural option

• For a natural, authentic look these eco-friendly hamper fillers are a great choice.

• Wood wool is kiln dried so no nasty chemicals are used in its production.

Best used for

• As it’s natural, biodegradable and PEFC approved (programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), wood wool can also come into direct contact with food.

• Most commonly used in hampers & popular throughout the gift industry.

Eco-friendly

• A packing material made from the excess wood shavings of the pine and spruce tree that might otherwise be thrown away.

• Biodegradable, natural and sustainably sourced.

• Recyclable, reusable, compostable and burnable.

Good to know

• Whilst it looks more similar to the more premium Very Fine packaging solution, Wood Wool has a thicker, more coarse texture.

• Wood Wool only comes in one natural colour.
