Protective Packaging Explained
Protective packaging is any material used to prevent a product being damaged in transit, typically including two distinct jobs: wrapping (protecting the product's surface directly) and void fill (stopping the product moving inside the box). Most parcels need both, and confusing the two can mean using too much or too little material, which can lead to damages, and unnecessary cost financially and environmentally.

Does Air Cushion Packaging Qualify for the UK Plastic Packaging Tax Exemption?
Short answer: yes, in most cases. Air cushion film that contains at least 30% recycled plastic is exempt from the UK Plastic Packaging Tax (PPT).

Why 99% Air Beats 100% Paper — The Air Cushion Multiplier
As you may have already read in our Environmental Science series, we established that more than 24 independent, peer-reviewed LCA studies all reach the same conclusion: plastic film packaging has a lower environmental impact than paper alternatives across energy, emissions, water use, and waste. We also established that this finding holds even when no recycling is assumed — the plastic wins purely on production, material efficiency, and weight. That baseline is compelling. But for air cushion packaging, the baseline is just the starting point.

Paper Mailers vs Plastic Mailers — What the Science Actually Shows
The shift towards paper mailers in e-commerce packaging has accelerated significantly over the past few years. Driven by customer pressure, corporate sustainability commitments, and the broadly held assumption that paper is greener than plastic, many businesses have made the switch, and often with considerable fanfare. It is a decision made with good intentions. But good intentions and good environmental outcomes are not always the same thing. And in the case of mailer packaging, the science points in a direction that surprises most people.

What Life Cycle Analysis Actually Means — And Why It Changes Everything
Ask most people how they decide whether a packaging material is environmentally friendly, and the answer tends to come down to one of two things: how it looks, or what they've heard. Paper looks natural. Plastic looks synthetic. Paper comes from trees. Plastic comes from oil. The conclusion feels obvious but...
