Fill-It Box Paper Void Fill System: Features, Sizes & Prices

Using the Fill-It Box at the Packing Bench

The Fill-It Box is a compact manual paper void-fill dispenser that combines recyclable packing paper with simple bench-side dispensing and no powered machinery. The way void fill is stored, handled, and dispensed can influence how organised the packing bench stays and how easily staff can prepare cartons throughout the day.

Loose materials can create additional handling and clutter, particularly when packers repeatedly need to gather or shape packaging before placing it around products. A contained paper system takes a different approach by integrating the void fill into the packing workflow itself.

For businesses considering that approach, Globe Packaging offers the Fill-It Box as a paper-based void-fill option designed for everyday packing operations.

How Does the Fill-It Box Work?

Paper void fill creates cushioning while keeping packaging recyclable and easy to dispose of. 

The Fill-It Box is designed to make paper void fill faster and easier to manage at the packing bench. Instead of using loose packing materials, the box acts as a built-in dispenser, keeping the workspace neater while letting packers pull out paper as needed.

As the paper is dispensed, it naturally forms a crumpled, three-dimensional shape that creates air pockets around products. This provides cushioning and helps fill empty spaces in shipping cartons without requiring packers to manually scrunch the paper first.

Compared with foam peanuts, paper void fill offers several practical advantages. It is recyclable through standard kerbside collection, does not create static cling, is easier for customers to dispose of, and creates less mess during packing. Foam peanuts, by contrast, can scatter easily and are often difficult to recycle.

As businesses move away from polystyrene and other hard-to-dispose packaging materials, paper-based void fill provides a more practical and sustainable alternative for everyday shipping operations.

Fill-It Box Features That Matter for Packaging Operations

The Fill-It Box keeps paper neatly stored and dispensed at the packing bench, reducing reliance on extra bags, bins, or containment systems. 

Filling the space around the product is what stops contents from shifting, which is where most transit damage starts.

Recyclable & Eco-Friendly Paper Material

The paper is fully recyclable through standard household or commercial recycling, making it a practical option for businesses looking to reduce packaging waste. It also gives customers an easier disposal option compared with non-recyclable foam materials.

No Machine or Power Source Required

The Fill-It Box works manually, so there is no machine to power, maintain, or repair. Packers simply pull the paper from the box and place it around the product, making the system easy to use and suitable for smaller operations.

Compact Storage Footprint

The compact box format helps businesses save valuable storage space compared with bulky bags or containers of loose fill. This makes stock easier to organise while keeping the packing area clear and efficient.

Faster Packing at the Bench

The paper dispenses directly from the box and forms a crumpled shape as it is pulled out. This reduces the need for packers to manually scrunch sheets before use, helping keep the packing process simple and consistent.

Less Mess Than Loose-Fill Packaging

Unlike foam peanuts, paper void fill stays contained inside the dispenser until it is needed. This helps reduce scattered packing material around the workstation and avoids the static cling commonly associated with lightweight foam loose fill.

Fill-It Box vs. Speedman: Cost & Size Comparison

The Fill-It Box is the more affordable option at £27.69, compared with £37.95 for the Speedman system (both prices are excluding VAT). Both use 70gsm recycled paper and provide 450m of paper, while Fill-It is slightly smaller and lighter, making it easier to store and move around the warehouse.

Overall, Fill-It costs £10.26 less per box while offering the same 450m paper length, with a more compact and slightly lighter dispenser.

The dispenser box feeds paper straight at the bench, so no separate bag or bin is needed to hold loose fill.

A Simpler Void-Fill Setup Starts with Globe Packaging

Choosing between the Fill-It Box and Speedman Box comes down to price, paper size, storage space, weight, and ease of use. Both provide recyclable paper void fill to protect products in transit, but the Fill-It Box has a lower upfront cost and a slightly more compact format.
