Protective Bubble
Cushion, isolate and protect with our complete bubble protection range: small bubble wrap for delicate items, large bubble wrap for bulkier goods, biodegradable bubble wrap for eco-forward packing, plus ready-to-pack bubble pouches and anti-static bubble pouches for electronics.
Small Bubble Wrap
Fine-cell cushioning for surface protection and light-to-medium fragility. Ideal for ceramics, cosmetics and small electronics.
Large Bubble Wrap
Thicker air cells absorb bigger impacts around bulkier or heavier items like homeware, tools and components.
Biodegradable Bubble Wrap
Eco-conscious cushioning designed to help reduce plastic footprint without sacrificing everyday protection.
Bubble Pouches
Pre-made sleeves for fast bench work—drop, seal and ship. Great for glassware, components and small boxed goods.
Anti-Static Bubble Pouches
Pink anti-static bubble protects ESD-sensitive electronics and PCBs during handling and courier transit.
Compare bubble protection options
| Product | Best for | Cushioning | Speed of pack | Sustainability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small Bubble Wrap | Fragile, smaller items | High (fine cell) | Fast (tear/cut & wrap) | Recyclability varies by region | Conforms closely to shapes; great surface protection |
| Large Bubble Wrap | Bulkier goods, heavier loads | Very high (thick cell) | Fast | Recyclability varies by region | Fewer layers needed vs small bubble |
| Biodegradable Bubble | Eco-led packaging | High | Fast | Biodegradable formulation | Good balance of protection and footprint |
| Bubble Pouches | Small items, high throughput | High | Very fast (drop-in) | Material recycling varies | Consistent presentation; less cutting/taping |
| Anti-Static Pouches | ESD-sensitive electronics | High | Very fast | Specialist material | Reduces static build-up, safer for PCBs and chips |
How to choose and use bubble effectively
Match the bubble size to item weight and fragility: use small bubble for fine surfaces and delicate pieces; large bubble for heavier goods that need deeper cushioning.
Wrap with bubbles facing inward to maximise contact and shock absorption. Secure with tape or self-seal where available. For speed, switch small items into bubble pouches.
Build a complete protective pack
After wrapping, place items in right-sized cardboard boxes, fill voids with biodegradable loose fill or packing chips, and add edge protection for pallet loads. For eco-first lines, consider honeycomb paper wrap or paper bubble wrap alternatives.

Protective Bubble – Frequently Asked Questions
Use small bubble for fine surface protection and smaller, lighter items; large bubble for heavier, bulkier goods where deeper air cells absorb impacts better.
Choose pouches for repeat items and high-throughput lines. They standardise protection and reduce cutting, taping and waste—ideal for components, cosmetics and small electronics.
Yes for most everyday applications. Biodegradable bubble is engineered to provide similar cushioning performance while helping reduce environmental impact.
Use anti-static pouches for ESD-sensitive items (PCBs, components) to minimise static discharge; for robust consumer electronics, standard bubble is often sufficient if anti-static isn’t specified.
Wrap fully with bubbles inward, immobilise with void fill, and choose snug cartons. For stacked pallets, add edge protection and layer pads to prevent crush.
Consider honeycomb paper wrap or paper bubble wrap, paired with recyclable kraft sheets or packing paper.
