Bubblebags

What is protective packaging?

Protective packaging describes packaging materials that can be used to wrap, interweave, surround or fill in between your items to keep them safe and make sure they are more likely to arrive at their destination in the best possible condition.

There are a variety of different protective packaging options, including paper, polystyrene, bubble wrap, foam, and biodegradable options.

How do I choose a protective packaging that best for my needs?

What’s most suitable will depend on what item you’re packaging, how you’re sending it and what you prefer to use.

If you are sending something that is more fragile, then to protect it against the bumps, knocks, jolts and drops that can occur in the postal or courier system, then you should choose a protective packaging that is more shock absorbent.

If you are looking to wrap or protect items for general storage, then perhaps a more ecological paper-based material would be more suitable. This would protect your items from one another, and is very flexible to fit around and between many different shaped items.

What is bubble wrap?

Bubble wrap is a very lightweight plastic protective packaging. With sealed ‘bubbles’ of air, each sheet of bubble wrap can be cut to size and is extremely flexible to be wrapped around or between items.

Bubble wrap available in rolls or bubble bags, and there are a variety of different sizes – including small, medium and large bubbles, each of which give a different level of flexibility and shock absorption.

Bubble wrap is essentially two layers of polythene with sealed air pockets created within it to form a shock absorbing protective wrap.
