Molded Pulp Dunnage and Void Fill for Mixed Pallets: Filling the Gaps Without Foam

Mixed and partial pallet loads shift in the gaps during transit, crushing products and wasting space. Molded pulp dunnage blocks, spacers, and void-fill shapes brace loads and fill voids, replacing foam and air pillows with a recyclable, stackable solution.

The Scenario: Three challenges in void filling

Pallet void filling faces three challenges:

Pain Points

• Mixed SKUs create irregular gaps that let cartons shift, lean, and crush under strapping;
• Foam and air pillows add waste and disposal cost, and air pillows deflate in transit;
• Void fill must be quick to place and strong enough to brace heavy loads.

The Solution: Three molded-pulp dunnage solutions

Molded pulp offers three solutions for void filling:

1. Dunnage blocks and spacers Molded blocks and spacers brace cartons in place, stopping shift and lean on the pallet.

2. Shaped void-fill inserts Pulp shapes fill irregular gaps so loads stay square and strapping stays tight.

3. Recyclable, reusable dunnage All-pulp dunnage is recyclable and stackable, replacing foam and air pillows with less waste.

The Result: Stable pallets, less waste

With these solutions, pallets travel square and stable with less product damage and packaging waste. Molded pulp dunnage matches green logistics programs.
