because 'packing material' is c. 130% longer than just saying 'dunnage' and also sounds worse and flows more poorly from an æsthetic perspective.

In speech but definitely as an industry term of art. Like "the current dunnage is causing product damage in transit, the vendor has to change the design"

Is there a non-Israel reason that a word that has existed since Middle English is being lost at a time when we ship more goods than at any time in human history?
