Abstract: A void-filling apparatus is disclosed. The void-filling apparatus may include multiple end pieces secured together by multiple cylindrical elements. The end pieces may include a sheet (or sheets) of material secured to a panel, which may include a honeycomb panel. Each of the cylindrical elements may fit into a respective opening in the first and second end pieces. In some instances, the end pieces and the cylindrical elements are made of paper-based materials. However, the end pieces and the cylindrical elements are made of a paper-based material may be covered by a liquid-resistant material, resulting in a liquid-resistant void-filling apparatus. In order to maintain engagement between the cylindrical elements and the end pieces, the openings (into which the cylindrical elements are inserted) may include a diameter to promote a compression fit. Adhesive securing may also be used. Also, adjacent cylindrical elements may be equidistant from each other.

Abstract: A unitary void filling apparatus for use as a lengthwise void spacer which is capable of preventing movement of a load disposed on a pallet, protecting the load from end-to-end forces, and acting as a dust cover. The apparatus consists of a frame folded to make a central area, which fits on top of the load, and two vertical sides, which hangs over opposite ends of the load. Attached to each vertical side are covered void fillers, each adapted to substantially fill any lengthwise underhang and protect the load from end-to-end forces. The central area of the frame supports the vertical sides to which the void fillers are attached, thereby holding the void fillers in the proper position and also preventing dust from accumulating on the cargo.
