Paper Cushioning Solutions

Protection and fixation.

Cushioning is used to protect fragile items during shipping. Packages are often handled with little or no care during transport, so precautions are needed to prevent damage. Shocks and vibration are controlled by cushioning, significantly reducing broken box contents and subsequent returns.
