Courier Paper Packaging Is So Unenvironmentally Friendly — What Can Replace Cardboard Boxes?
In August 2022, China's express delivery volume already reached 9.43 billion parcels, up 4.9% year on year!
With the rapid development of the e-commerce industry, online shopping has become an indispensable part of our lives. Every time we place an order we tell the seller to pack it well so the item is not damaged, and once the parcel arrives the packaging is simply discarded. More and more express cushioning packaging is being abandoned in nature because of improper handling or because it cannot degrade, causing a huge impact on the ecological environment. But did you know that cushioning packaging now has a new solution, offering us a more environmentally friendly choice!
- Eco-friendly paper cushioning packaging, a “new-generation” cushioning packaging
Before plastic restriction orders were introduced, foam plastics became a commonly used cushioning packaging material in logistics and transport thanks to their good cushioning and vibration-absorbing performance. But the serious harm plastics cause to the ecological environment has drawn widespread attention around the world, and many countries have progressively upgraded their “plastic restriction orders” into “plastic bans”!
Straws are forever — a single straw is passed down through the ages.
Paper cushioning packaging is made from the long fibres of coniferous trees. As environmental awareness grows, this type of packaging is recognised by many countries and has become popular rapidly in Europe and the United States, becoming a “new-generation” form of cushioning packaging after plastic foam cushioning packaging.

Compared with packaging made from other materials, paper cushioning packaging can be used in more casual, flexible ways and has a wider range of applications. Its recycling rate is also higher than that of plastic. Even when discarded, it can biodegrade in the soil together with organic, compostable materials — “turned into spring mud to nourish the flowers.”
- Safe transport starts with packaging!
“We also want to save costs, but if a packaging problem damages goods in transit, we may not only get a bad review but also be asked to refund and take the goods back, causing losses — the loss would outweigh the gain,” said a merchant operating on Taobao.
On Taobao, neutral and negative reviews caused by logistics problems are commonplace. On top of that, sorting in today's logistics is mostly rather rough, and an outer carton alone can hardly prevent items from being crushed or damaged in transit. The number of parcels is growing rapidly, while packaging costs are much cheaper than the losses that may be caused. To reduce or avoid damage to goods, many merchants wrap items in layer after layer, with the resulting pollution and waste easy to imagine. In fact, for safe express transport, paper pads are enough!
- Creative packaging design — good products deserve good packaging!
If you are still struggling with how to choose express cushioning packaging, the following packaging examples may help you:

Eco-friendly paper cushioning packaging, a new choice for online shopping packaging! Cases of eco-friendly cushioning packaging are about much more than simply preventing breakage!
