Choose The Right Shredded Paper

Our shredded paper & wood wool range

We offer three main eco-friendly packaging filler options: standard shredded paper, ZigZagDelux™ crinkle cut shred, and wood wool.

Our standard straight-cut shredded paper is ideal for lighter products. It creates a clean, rustic look that works well for general gifting and smaller hamper designs.

For heavier items such as bottles and jars, we recommend our 4mm crinkle cut shred. This hamper void fill UK option is designed to retain structure and cushioning, helping protect fragile items during transport. Its dust-free design also ensures a cleaner, more refined presentation.

For a premium natural alternative, our FSC-certified wood wool offers a 100% natural, British-made solution. Produced through a chemical-free process, it provides excellent protection while enhancing the perceived value of gift hamper packaging.

Match your packaging to your brand or theme

When selecting shredded paper, colour plays an important role in reinforcing your brand identity.

Our range includes neutral tones such as cream, white, black, grey, and manilla, alongside brighter colours like red, green, and light blue. This flexibility allows businesses to align shredded paper UK packaging with brand colours or seasonal campaigns.

Colour coordination is particularly effective in corporate gifting and retail presentation, where consistency helps reinforce brand recognition.

You can also mix colours to create themed packaging. For example:

• Red and green for festive Christmas hampers
• Orange and black for Halloween gifting
• Yellow and orange for summer or seasonal campaigns

This makes hamper packaging design more engaging and visually distinctive.

How much shredded paper do you need?

A common question we receive is: how much void fill is needed for a hamper?

To simplify this, we offer a hamper packing calculator on our website. When you add a wicker hamper, gift box, or gift tray to your basket, the system automatically calculates how many bales of shredded paper or wood wool you will need.

These calculations are based on a half-fill assumption, allowing sufficient space for products while ensuring adequate protection and presentation.

Our shredded paper and wood wool are available in 5kg, 10kg, and 20kg bundles, depending on the material and colour selected. This makes it easy to scale hamper void fill UK requirements for both small and large production runs.

Why void fill is essential in hamper packaging

Void fill plays two critical roles in hamper packaging UK: protection and presentation.

From a protection standpoint, shredded paper and wood wool help secure items in place, reducing movement and minimising damage during transit. This is especially important for fragile or heavy products such as glass jars, bottles, or food items.

From a presentation perspective, void fill takes the unboxing experience to the next level. It creates structure, adds visual depth, and enhances the perceived quality of the gift.

Our shredded paper and wood wool are also food-safe and dust-free, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, including food gifting and premium corporate hampers.

A sustainable & flexible packaging solution

Choosing the right eco-friendly packaging filler UK helps businesses reduce environmental impact while maintaining high presentation standards. FSC-certified materials ensure responsible sourcing, while natural options like wood wool support more sustainable packaging strategies.

By combining flexibility, colour variety, and protective performance, shredded paper remains one of the most effective solutions for modern hamper packaging.
