Safe shipping is a top priority for product manufacturers across every industry. Without it, you risk damaging your products and your reputation to your customers, which can be costly to remedy. As you seek to protect your products and your bottom line, you can promote the best results with a safe shipping plan designed with an effective and efficient void fill system.
Filling voids allows you to load your shipments more strategically and securely, eliminating wasted space and reducing excess movement through transit. With a tailored approach, you can specialize your void fill system to match the needs of your team and shipping method. Read on to learn about the value of a custom load plan, what products you should consider for your system, and how a trusted packaging and dunnage manufacturer like Sunrise Manufacturing can help.
Top Components of a Custom Load Plan
The goal of a load plan is to ensure the safety of your products and your shipping personnel. The way it’s designed must be shaped by the specifications of your product and packaging, and must also factor in the needs of your cargo and the modality you’re using to ship. With the right plan, you can maximize what you can ship safely and ensure it stays contained and secure throughout transit to protect individuals loading and unloading it.
At Sunrise, we work closely with our customers to produce a tailored load plan that solves your shipping problems and matches your product’s size and needs. Whether you’re shipping small fragile items, bulky heavy products, or anything in between, we’re prepared to develop a tailored strategy to protect your products and bottom line.
For unbeatable protection, it’s time to choose a custom load plan. Some of the top components include:
Efficient Void Fill
Void fill is a favored choice for filling empty space and keeping products in place through transit. With the right system, you can leverage efficient void fill to get your products loaded and unloaded quickly, eliminating wasted time and maximizing your speed. At Sunrise, we offer a wide range of void fill systems, and each is designed to be easy-to-use and effective.
Traditional Void Fill
This style of void fill is highly customizable and comes in many sizes and styles so you can find your best fit. Our void fill options are simple to use and superior in their protection and functionality. They’re also composed with recyclable materials for an added eco-friendly benefit.
Collapsible Void Fill
Similar to traditional void fill, this variation offers a wide range of styles and sizes for enhanced flexibility. It differs due to its unique ability to collapse, which offers shipping benefits and saves vital warehouse space.
Tailored Packaging and Protective Solutions
To pair with your efficient void fill system, consider a custom approach for your packaging. This can make it even easier to load and protect your products. Custom packaging is designed with the precise size and compression needs of your products in mind, ensuring a better fit and safer results.
Additionally, you can consider die cut corrugated solutions like trays or pallet and corner caps to further protect your products and unitize them. Part of making streamlined void fill and shipping plans involves keeping your products as easy to load and unload as possible, which trays and caps can help address. With the right solutions, you can keep your products contained and secure.

To make it even more efficient to load and unload your products, we recommend considering the additional shipping supplies you need to facilitate the best safety.
