Protective packaging filler for securing and presenting your products

Protective packaging filler serves two purposes within a gift arrangement. It fills empty spaces around the items to reduce movement while also enhancing their presentation in a basket, gift box or other container. It is particularly suited to wine merchants, wineries, delicatessens and food retailers preparing assortments for retail sale, corporate gifting or the festive season.

The quantity required will depend on the size of the container and the number and arrangement of the items. Before adding the filler, position the largest products first, then gradually fill the remaining spaces. This method allows you to adjust the level of filling and keep the different products visible without unnecessarily covering their labels or packaging.

Choosing between wood, paper and synthetic filler

Wood filler is available in fine 1 mm natural pine, supplied in an 11 kg bale, and 2 mm natural poplar, supplied in a bale weighing approximately 20 kg. Your choice between these two options will depend on the required thickness, the volume of arrangements to be prepared and the desired appearance. Their natural colour coordinates easily with a variety of packaging styles.

SizzlePak kraft paper filler is supplied in 10 kg cartons. It is available in natural kraft as well as a wide choice of colours, including red, burgundy, black, white, yellow, magenta and navy blue. This variety allows you to coordinate the filler with the container, the products included or a particular retail period. Sulphurised synthetic filler is available in cream or white and supplied in 25 kg bales.

Several criteria can help guide your selection:

• the preferred material: wood, paper or synthetic;
• the required thickness for wood filler;
• the volume of arrangements to be prepared;
• the pack size suited to your operations;
• the colour that best coordinates with your packaging;
• the desired appearance around the items.

Coordinating the filler with your gift arrangements

To structure your range, you can use natural or white filler for versatile arrangements and reserve more distinctive colours for specific collections or seasonal promotions. Red and burgundy, for example, can complement festive packaging, while black, cognac or platinum grey create a more understated appearance.

Distribute the filler evenly underneath the items and around their bases. When selecting the material, colour and pack size suited to your requirements, Oplezio offers express delivery and support from a dedicated customer service team.
