Request supplier optionsHow to choose bubble wrap before you buy
Start with the item, not the roll. A delicate glass or framed surface needs different protection than a heavy appliance or a warehouse shipment. Bubble size, roll width, perforation, total footage, and how tightly you wrap the item all affect performance and cost.
Small bubble wrap
Flexible cushioning for smaller items, delicate surfaces, glassware, electronics, and products that need close contact protection.
Large bubble wrap
More cushioning space for larger, heavier, or irregular items and for filling larger gaps inside cartons.
Perforated rolls
Pre-scored sections can speed repetitive packing and help standardize usage.
Roll width & length
Match roll dimensions to the items you pack most often and the amount of storage space available.
