Hybrid Cushioning
Cushioning Squared, Exponential Protection
The proprietary square pattern looks amazing and keeps items from "bottoming-out" to prevent damage. The square pattern has more surface area than competitive circular cushioning, providing more surface area to better cradle and cushion products during transit.
HC is made from low-density polyethylene, hybrid cushioning delivers unrivaled protection, a premium aesthetic consumers prefer and space savings as one pallet of HC is the equivalent of almost one-and-a-half truckloads of bubble!
