Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap is a type of packaging material in which air bubbles are encapsulated, and which is generally used for protection or packaging purposes. Bubble wrap is usually made from a transparent plastic material, and the air bubbles within it are used to provide protection against knocks or impacts.

General Features

  • Protection Against Impacts: Its bubble-wrap structure protects products against impacts, knocks or vibrations thanks to the air bubbles inside.
  • Lightweight: Being lighter than other packaging materials offers advantages during transport and storage.
  • Flexibility: It can wrap or protect products of various shapes and sizes. Its flexible structure makes it easy to use when packaging products of different dimensions.

Bubble wrap is generally used for the transport or storage of fragile or delicate items. It is frequently chosen for packaging fragile items such as electronic goods, glassware and delicate equipment. This material helps to minimise damage caused by knocks or impacts that may occur during the transport of goods.
