Synthetic curling – Dust-free economical solution
An essential protective packaging accessory, packaging filler is indispensable both for protecting products during long-distance delivery and for decorating gift hampers.
Although several types of filler are available, synthetic packaging filler offers undeniable technical and financial advantages.
Synthetic packaging filler: technical characteristics
At OPLEZIO, our synthetic packaging filler is made from recyclable polypropylene. It is supplied in 25 kg bales and is available in cream (reference 1911) or white (reference 6022). The extra-fine strips are approximately 2 mm wide.
Polypropylene is a lightweight, low-density material. Its impact resistance provides optimal protection for products inside their packaging. It is also resistant to moisture and temperature variations. The material retains its shape without crumbling and therefore does not produce dust.
The synthetic packaging filler available from OPLEZIO is manufactured in Europe. This ensures high production quality and compliance with current European standards.
The financial benefits of synthetic packaging filler
Synthetic packaging filler offers excellent value for money. It is a durable and profitable solution for businesses, both in terms of logistics and brand presentation.
A durable solution
Unlike wood wool or paper SizzlePak filler, synthetic packaging filler does not crumble. No material is lost, and the filler remains intact without producing dust.
This helps the packaging retain its appearance throughout handling. It is particularly valuable when presenting parcels and gift hampers, as the products remain clean. It also provides a logistical advantage by avoiding additional cleaning around packing workstations.
Its resistance to moisture also makes it easier to store for longer periods and in a wider range of conditions.
A cost-effective solution
Synthetic packaging filler is not less expensive than wood wool, but it costs less than SizzlePak paper filler. Prices also decrease when larger quantities are purchased.
Beyond the price per kilogram, synthetic filler is lighter. This means that 25 kg of synthetic filler provides a greater volume than the equivalent weight of wood wool or SizzlePak. Its low weight can also reduce parcel delivery costs while continuing to protect the products effectively.
Made from polypropylene, it retains its elasticity and does not become compressed. You therefore need less material to provide effective protection around bottles.
How should synthetic packaging filler be used?
Versatile synthetic filler can be used in several situations to protect products while enhancing their presentation.
Protecting long-distance shipments
Synthetic packaging filler absorbs impacts effectively. It provides excellent cushioning and prevents glassware, bottles and artisanal products from moving inside the parcel. Its low weight also helps limit delivery costs without compromising product protection.
For the best results, begin by placing a layer of filler at the bottom of the box. Position the products on top, then fill the remaining empty spaces with synthetic filler. This keeps everything securely in place while using only the necessary amount of material.
Showcasing products
Available in white or cream, synthetic packaging filler provides an attractive setting for your products. Its understated and versatile colours coordinate easily with different visual identities and product ranges.
Inside a gift hamper, it creates a harmonious presentation with volume and lightness. As it does not produce dust, the finished result remains clean and professional—an advantage for both your brand image and customer satisfaction.
