What is Bubble Wrap?
Bubble wrap is the classic protective packaging: here is how it works and how to choose the right size.
What is bubble wrap?
Bubble wrap is a flexible, transparent plastic material with air bubbles sealed between layers, creating a cushioning barrier that protects fragile items during shipping and storage.
Bubble sizes and layers
The bubbles come in different sizes, usually 10mm or 20mm. Larger bubbles give more cushioning for heavier or more delicate items. Depending on the object and the protection needed, you might use a single layer for surface protection or several layers for shock and vibration resistance.
