Holiday Shipping Headaches? Use Recycled Packaging to Keep Products Safe & Green

Christmas is the busiest shipping season of the year. With more orders flying out the door and more parcels in transit, the pressure is on to make sure everything arrives safely — without blowing your packaging budget or harming the planet.

At SRS, we help businesses across Milton Keynes, Aylesbury, Luton, and Bedford prepare for the festive rush with sustainable, in-house packaging solutions. If you're tired of juggling expensive bubble wrap, stock delays, or plastic waste, it might be time to rethink your strategy.

The Problem with Peak-Season Packaging

More parcels = more packaging. But that also means:

• Running out of void-fill when you need it most

• Relying on expensive plastic materials

• Increased waste, higher disposal costs

• Frustrated customers if items arrive damaged

Traditional packaging materials like foam chips and plastic pillows are bulky, wasteful, and often not recyclable. That’s not a great look for a modern brand — especially one customers are trusting with holiday gifts.

Recycled Packaging That Actually Works

Shredded cardboard is a smart alternative. Created in-house using a cardboard shredder, it turns your warehouse waste into cushioning that absorbs shock and fills voids inside parcels.

It works brilliantly for:

• Fragile products

• Mixed-size items in one box

• Delicate finishes and gift sets

Because you’re making it yourself from boxes already in your facility, you don’t have to worry about reordering or running out during peak weeks.

A Smarter Way to Ship

✅ Stronger protection – Dense cardboard fill protects against knocks in transit
✅ No supply chain risk – Never run out of void-fill again
✅ Plastic-free – Fully recyclable and biodegradable
✅ Less clutter – No bubble wrap rolls taking over the packing bench
✅ Customer approved – Unboxing feels greener and more thoughtful

Let Your Waste Work for You

At SRS, we help busy warehouses and fulfilment teams set up efficient in-house packaging systems using cardboard shredders. No contracts, no collections — just one smart machine that saves you money and waste.
