Bubble Wrap, Foam & Protective Cushioning — Rolls, Bags & Sheets

Keep fragile items safe. 3/16", 5/16", and 1/2" bubble, foam rolls, anti-static products, bubble bags and sustainable void fill — bulk pricing available.

Damage in transit costs money, brand reputation, and customer loyalty. High-quality bubble cushioning and foam protection significantly reduces breakage while keeping packing fast and costs low.

Bubble wrap works via trapped air pockets that absorb shocks and distribute impact. Different bubble diameters are optimized for different item types and weights. We stock the three most useful sizes used across industries.

Anti-static (pink) products are required whenever electrostatic discharge can destroy components. Always combine with proper grounding and shielded bags for the highest value electronics.

For operations that want to move away from plastic, we offer kraft paper cushioning, crinkle void fill, and tissue options which are curbside recyclable in most areas and present a strong sustainability story.

How to Choose the Right Bubble Wrap

Use small bubble for items under ~5lbs and delicate surfaces. Switch to larger air cells for heavier items or greater drop heights.

Perforated rolls allow easy tear-off sheets and reduce packing labor and material waste.

When packing multiple items in one carton, wrap individual pieces rather than stuffing loose bubble around them.

For extreme protection of instruments or medical devices, combine bubble + foam corner blocks + outer corrugated box + outer stretch or tape seal.

Bubble Sizes & Applications

3/16" Small Bubble: Ideal for china, glassware, electronics, jewelry. Conforms to contoured items well.

5/16" Medium Bubble: Versatile for most general merchandise, books, housewares, and replacement parts.

1/2" Large Bubble: Maximum shock absorption for machinery parts, castings, and items that can withstand greater compression.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size bubble wrap should I use?

3/16" (small bubble) is best for wrapping individual items and filling spaces around fragile objects like glass, electronics, and ceramics. 5/16" medium bubble works for a wider range of items. 1/2" (large bubble) is for heavier items that need significant shock absorption, like small appliances or automotive parts.

How much bubble wrap do I need per box?

For a 12×12×12" box, plan on about 3–4 square feet of bubble wrap per item for basic protection, or 6–8 square feet for fragile items. A 12"×75' roll provides 75 square feet, enough for approximately 20–25 standard parcels.

Is anti-static bubble wrap necessary for electronics?

Yes — standard bubble wrap can generate static charges that damage circuit boards and microchips. Anti-static (pink) bubble wrap is treated to dissipate static electricity. ESD shielding bags provide even greater protection for sensitive electronics in storage or transit.

Do you sell biodegradable or recyclable cushioning alternatives?

Yes. We carry kraft paper void fill, crinkle cut paper, and tissue paper as sustainable alternatives to bubble wrap. These materials are 100% recyclable and can be disposed of in standard paper recycling streams.

Can bubble wrap be recycled?

Many recycling programs do not accept bubble wrap due to the mixed materials. Check locally. When possible we encourage reuse: many fulfillment centers reuse clean bubble for internal packing. Otherwise, consider switching volume orders to recyclable paper void fill.
