How to use shredded paper for a gift packaging filler

Shredded paper for gift boxes, gift bags and party bags can be a great, fun, easy and effective way to secure your items, here are some steps of how to help make sure that your parcel arrives safely:

Start with appropriately sized boxes, gift bags, party bags, or hampers. Remember, as well as being less wasteful, it'll keep your items more secure if there is less room around your items. Remember to add a couple of centimetres around the outside of your items so that you can still add some cushioning!
Place a good layer of shredded paper at the bottom of your boxes or gift bags, making sure to fill all the corners. The actual depth will vary but aim to not be able to see the bottom of the container anymore and then add some more. Because our zig zag shredded paper is naturally springy, it will compress a little so for shipping heavy or fragile items it's better to add a little extra to be safe.
Place your item(s) inside and add extra paper shreds around the edges to get a fairly snug fit to avoid things rattling about.
Cover in a top layer of shredded paper. Like the bottom, this layer should be fairly thick for shipping. Aim for the paper to sit slightly proud of the lid of the box so that it compresses as the lid is closed.
