Bubble Wrap: The Ultimate Shipping Bodyguard
Bubble wrap is the go-to solution for lightweight, flexible protection. It’s essentially a sandwich of two plastic films with air trapped in “bubbles” to create a shock-absorbing cushion.
Product Specifications
Based on the image provided, this is a heavy-duty industrial roll:
- Width: 1250mm (roughly 4 feet), ideal for wrapping large furniture, artwork, or lining big shipping crates.
- Length: 100m, providing ample material for high-volume packing needs.
- Bubble Size: This appears to be “small bubble” wrap, which is best for surface protection against scratches and for wrapping smaller, delicate items.
Why It’s the Industry Standard
Pro Tip: Always wrap with the bubbles facing inward toward the object. This allows the bubbles to grip the item and provide better cushioning, while the flat outer surface resists tearing.
Shock Absorption: The air-filled pockets distribute pressure and absorb impacts during transit.
Moisture Resistance: Being made of polyethylene, it acts as a barrier against water and humidity.
Versatility: It can be easily cut to size and taped around irregular shapes that boxes or foam inserts can’t accommodate.
