Packing Peanuts are loose-fill void cushioning that flows around products to lock them in place during shipping, used by warehouses and online sellers for odd-shaped and multi-item orders. Pour them into the empty space inside a box and they settle around every gap, so contents can't shift, rattle, or take a direct hit when the box is dropped.
Loose fill is the fastest way to protect mixed orders, because one supply works for any item shape without cutting custom inserts for each SKU. Packers scoop what they need and seal the box, which keeps a high-volume line moving. Sellers who ship a wide catalog of different sizes lean on peanuts to fill voids that pre-cut pads and board never quite match.
