Foam packing protection and loosefill void fill are used to cushion fragile items inside boxes, absorbing impact and preventing movement that can cause breakage during transit. Hunt Office Ireland stocks two loosefill products — a GoSecure biodegradable Biofil loosefill bag and a bag of recycled green polystyrene loosefill chips — from GoSecure and the Fsmisc / Masterline own label. Fast nationwide delivery is available on all orders.
The GoSecure Biofil loosefill bag contains biodegradable loosefill chips made from natural starch — a sustainable alternative to traditional polystyrene void fill. Biofil chips dissolve in water, making them safe to dispose of down a sink or compost bin without leaving plastic waste, which is a significant advantage for organisations that want to reduce their packaging waste footprint. The chips provide effective cushioning and void-fill performance comparable to polystyrene, while meeting the growing demand from customers and recipients for plastic-free or easily disposable packaging. Biofil loosefill is particularly well suited to e-commerce retailers, gift companies, and any business that dispatches fragile goods and wants to offer an environmentally responsible packaging solution.
The Masterline green loosefill polystyrene chips are supplied in a 15 cubic foot (0.425 cubic metre) bag — a high-capacity format suited to businesses that pack large volumes of fragile goods and need a ready supply of void fill available at the packing bench. The S-shaped chip format interlocks inside the box, providing more stable cushioning than traditional round chips and reducing settlement during transit. The green colour identifies these as recycled or recyclable content chips. Polystyrene loosefill remains the most cost-effective void fill option per cubic metre for high-volume industrial and warehouse packing operations, and at 15 cubic feet per bag, this format provides significant run time before needing to reorder.
Loosefill chips are best used when packing multiple items of different sizes in a single box, when items have irregular shapes that do not allow for consistent bubble wrap wrapping, and when the primary protection need is preventing movement and absorbing impact from all directions rather than surface-level cushioning. Chips are poured into the box around the item after it has been placed, filling all void space and immobilising the contents. They are particularly effective for glassware, fragile ceramics, electronic components, and delicate machinery parts. For surface protection — where the concern is abrasion or surface scratching rather than impact — foam rolls or bubble wrap are typically more appropriate.
Hunt Office stocks both sustainable biodegradable loosefill and high-capacity recycled polystyrene chips — providing Irish businesses with a choice between an environmentally preferred void fill and a high-volume cost-effective option, alongside bubble wrap, packaging paper, and foam protection across the broader packing supplies range. Fast nationwide delivery across Ireland is available on all orders.
