Packing peanuts are a loose fill material made of primarily Styrofoam. They get their name because they are similar in size and shape to that of a peanut. There are different versions of packing peanuts made. Some are made of corn starch and will dissolve in water making them popular for biodegradable reasons.

Other versions have unique characteristics based on the color of the peanut. Green is 70% or more recycled polystyrene, white is 79% or more virgin resin, while pink is anti static.

Bubble wrap is a transparent and pliable plastic material with regular spaced bubbles filled with air. It is sold in sheets or rolls.
