BUBBLE WRAP ROLLS

Bubble wrap is made of flexible and durable cells of sealed air, designed to cushion and protect. It is one of the most common packaging materials, lightweight and reusable, therefore an environmentally friendly and cost saving packaging solution.   
Small cell bubble can carry more weight than large cell and offers greater protection against dents, scrapes, scratches and chips. Large cell bubble is softer than small cell, it is ideal for cushioning delicate items, and its thickness also provides an incredible barrier against shock or vibration, therefore acting as a great void filler.

WHAT SIZE BUBBLE CELL BEST SUITS YOUR APPLICATION?

Small bubble
is not as soft as large bubble but can support more weight. It is the most popular, or commonly used size. 3/16” bubble has less impact or shock protection than large bubble, it is ideally used for protection against dents, chips, scrapes and scratches.
Common Uses: Protecting glass and chinaware, jewelry, small appliances and digital items including cell phones. With its lightweight and versatile properties, it is often used by moving companies.

Medium bubble is used for heavier or larger items, 5/16” bubble provides more shock absorption than 3/16” while still offering the surface protection that 3/16 bubble offers. 
Common Uses: It’s ideal for wrapping more bulky items that require thicker cushioning including artwork, mirrors and frames, heavier machinery or components.

Large bubble has the greatest shock or impact resistance of all bubble sizes and therefore often used to fill the empty spaces in larger containers to protect grouped items. Its large, 1/2" soft cells are ideal for protecting those extra delicate items, or simply just offering cushioning between layered products. 
Common Uses: These large cells offer great extra thickness void fill for large cases, cartons, containers or crates. Large bubble is also used to protect large pieces of furniture.

Eliminate the need to wrap an item twice, see laminated bubble wrap.
