Shock absorbent spiral folded fibres
Natural Crinkle-Cut Shredded Paper provides protective shredded paper packaging for hampers, gift baskets, candles and fragile goods. Made from brown Kraft paper using three layers of 100% recycled 80gsm paper, the zigzag crinkle-cut construction cushions products and expands as the fibres double in volume during use.
Supplied in 5kg or 10kg boxes, sold and priced per box.
Where does Natural Crinkle-Cut Shredded Paper work best?
This shredded paper packaging suits packing benches that need one material for both cushioning and presentation, especially where products sit inside gift boxes, hampers or shipping cartons.
- Food hampers and gift baskets: brown shredded paper supports jars, bottles and small packs while giving the pack a natural Kraft presentation.
- Candles, ceramics and other fragile gifts: the crinkle-cut zigzag fibres create cushioning around individual items to help absorb shocks in transit.
- E-commerce gift fulfilment: the compressed boxed format saves storage space, then the fibres open out when shaken to increase packing volume at the bench.
- Retail presentation packs: the natural brown colour complements a wide range of product colours without distracting from labels, branding or contents.
Not for
- High-impact industrial protection for heavy goods: choose bubble wrap or packaging foam when the item needs wraparound protection against knocks and abrasion.
- Loose void filling for large shipping cartons: choose void fill when you need to fill deep empty spaces around products quickly.
- Colour-themed gift packaging: choose coloured shredded paper when you want paper shreds that match a brand colour, season or campaign. We also offer a full range of retail and gift packaging, featuring gift bags, gift wrap and more.

Product FAQs
How do I prepare the paper before packing?
The paper arrives compressed in the box. Take the quantity you need and shake the zigzag fibres out by hand before placing them around the product. This opens the fibres and helps them reach twice their compressed volume.
Can this paper be recycled after use?
Yes. The paper uses 100% recycled Kraft paper and is 100% recyclable, so your customers can place it in the appropriate paper recycling stream where local facilities accept it.
Does the brown colour suit premium gift packs?
Yes. The natural Kraft shade works well with food, craft, wellbeing, candle and artisan products because it gives a neutral base and lets product labels and colours stand out.
Are the paper shred dimensions fixed?
No fixed shred dimensions apply to this product. The material consists of crinkle-cut fibres that expand when shaken out, so the packed volume depends on how the operator fluffs and places the paper.
How is it sold?
It's sold and priced per box, with 5 kg and 10 kg box options available depending on your packing volume and storage space.
