Packing Peanuts
Packing peanuts are a loose-fill material poured around items in shipping boxes to fill voids and stop products moving in transit. Unlike air pillows, they flow around irregular shapes, though they are a void fill rather than high-performance shock cushioning. Select by material (expanded polystyrene, recycled polystyrene or water-soluble biodegradable starch), granule size and shape, and anti-static (ESD) grade for electronics.

About this category
Packing peanuts are a loose-fill packaging material used to fill voids inside shipping boxes between products to stabilize them during transport. Models differ in base material between traditional expanded polystyrene, biodegradable starch that dissolves in water, and recycled polystyrene depending on design. Models differ in granule shape (classic figure-eight shape, S-shape or other shapes) and in granule size designed to limit product movement within the box. Models differ in anti-static properties between standard granules and anti-static (ESD) granules for sensitive electronic products. A distinction must be maintained between the primary function of packing peanuts in void fill and product stabilization and high-performance impact cushioning, which is not assumed across the category. Biodegradability characteristics are not assumed across the category; this is a feature of starch-based peanuts specifically and is defined on the product label. Resistance to moisture or elevated temperatures is not assumed. Foam packaging and air pillows are excluded from this category. Buyers select packing peanut models based on material type, size, anti-static properties, box size and sustainability requirements.
