Fanfold Kraft Paper for Void Filling and Cushioning
Fanfold kraft paper is a continuous roll of pre-folded paper used to fill voids in shipping cartons. It is unfolded at the packing bench to create a cushioning layer that prevents product movement during transit. The paper is made from 100% virgin kraft pulp, so it holds its shape and resists tearing under load. One 350 m roll replaces multiple cartons of loose fill and reduces the need for hand-cutting or pre-formed inserts.
- Pre-folded design allows quick deployment at the packing bench without manual cutting
- 70gsm kraft paper provides consistent cushioning without adding excessive weight
- 350 m roll length covers a full packing shift without frequent roll changes
- Folds stay locked in place until unfolded, so the paper does not shift inside the carton
Include the carton size and the monthly volume and the reply will contain a format recommendation, not just a price.

How It Compares With the Alternatives
Where another material is the better answer we say so, because a returned shipment costs more than a lost order.
| Loose fill foam | Fanfold kraft paper is plastic-free and fully recyclable, though foam may offer higher compression resistance |
|---|---|
| Pre-formed paper inserts | Fanfold paper requires no tooling or SKU-specific dies and is deployed faster at the bench |
| Air cushion film | Fanfold paper is lighter per carton and fully compostable, though air cushions offer higher impact absorption |
| Bubble wrap | Fanfold paper is more sustainable and does not require inflation, but bubble wrap has better puncture resistance |
How to Use It
Place the roll on a bench stand and pull the leading edge to unfold the first fold
Unfold the paper in one continuous motion to fill the void in the carton
Use the folded layers to create a stable cushioning layer around the product
Trim excess paper with scissors if needed, but the pre-folded design minimises waste
Store unused rolls flat and away from moisture to prevent paper degradation
