The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for securing cylindrical goods in containers during transportation. Some embodiments include void fillers configured to restrain motion of objects in freight containers. Some embodiments include methods of fabricating void fillers for use in freight containers. Some embodiments include methods of using void fillers to restrain object motion in freight containers. In some cases, a void filler is fabricated from a honeycomb-style cardboard materials. In some cases, a void filler is used to restrain an upright cylindrical item such as an upright paper roll in a freight container.
A panel structure having a low-density core that can withstanding loads normal to a first primary surface, and a first facing of high-density sheet material that can extend along the first primary surface. The high-density sheet material can be laminated on the core such that the laminated core and facing cooperatively resist bending loads and loads along the primary surface. The first facing can extend from the first primary surface on a side of the core along a secondary surface, which can be non-parallel to the first primary surface. The first facing can bend along a score line between the first primary surface and the secondary surface.

A sandwich construction including a core having inner and outer surfaces and comprising a sheet material oriented extending between the inner and outer core surfaces in a configuration providing resistance to crushing in a direction between the inner and outer surfaces. The formable protector further includes an outer facing layer of a sheet material adhered to the outer surface of the core layer; and an inner facing layer adhered to the core inner surface and being sufficiently deformable to conform to a sharp edge of a protected object when the protector is bent therearound, and being substantially more compressible or stretchable than the outer facing layer. The core has sufficient resistance to crushing and the outer facing layer is sufficiently durable for causing the core to partially crush when the protector is bent around the sharp edge while partially retaining crushing resistance for protecting the sharp edge against impact.
