Bubble Wrap

How to choose the  best bubble wrap

What is the Purpose Of Bubble  Wrap?

The bubbles inside the plastic allow air to flow  freely into and out of the package. As long as there is enough air pressure  within the package, the object inside will remain safe. However, if the air  pressure drops too low, the bubbles will burst and the contents of the  package will become exposed to the outside elements. This causes the item to  lose moisture and dry out. Once the package arrives at its destination, the  air pressure will increase again and the bubbles will expand once more. This  process continues until the package reaches its final destination where the  air pressure is high enough to maintain the integrity of the package.

Types  of Bubble Wraps Available

There are two main types of  bubble wraps available today. One is called "bubble" and the other  is called "bloom." Both types of bubble wrap are made from polyethylene  terephthalate (PET) plastic. PET is a very durable material that is resistant  to heat and chemicals. It is also lightweight and flexible making it ideal  for wrapping small items.

Size  Matters

First, size matters. Most bubble wraps are sold in  standard sizes ranging from 1/2" - 4". Standard sized bubble wraps  are ideal for most applications. However, larger bubble wraps are useful for  large objects such as furniture or appliances. Larger bubble wraps are also  helpful for protecting large areas of flooring or walls. Smaller bubble wraps  are good for smaller items such as electronics or  jewelry.

Material Matters

Next,  material matters. While most bubble wraps are made of plastic, paper bubble  wraps are becoming increasingly popular. Paper bubble wraps are generally  thinner and lighter weight than plastic bubble wraps. They are also easier to  cut and fold. However, paper bubble wraps are not recommended for heavy duty  uses. For example, they cannot be used to cover entire floors or walls.  Plastic bubble wraps are stronger and last longer than paper bubble  wraps.

Durability Matters

Finally,  durability matters. Many bubble wraps are coated with chemicals which make  them waterproof. However, these coatings can wear off over time. Therefore,  it is important to select a bubble wrap that has been treated with a durable  coating. Look for bubble wraps that say "waterproof", "tear  proof", or "scratch resistant."

How To Use  Bubble Wraps Properly

Once you've selected the proper  bubble wrap for your application, here are a few tips to ensure its safe  usage:

Types of Bubble Wraps Available  Today

There are three main types of bubble wraps available  today. First, there is the standard bubble wrap. Standard bubble wrap is the  cheapest option and is typically sold in rolls. Second, there is the double  bubble wrap. Double bubble wrap is thicker than standard bubble wrap and is  ideal for protecting larger items. Third, there is the triple bubble wrap.  Triple bubble wrap is the strongest bubble wrap available today. It is  perfect for protecting large items such as furniture or appliances. 

Tips for Choosing the Right Type of Bubble  Wrap

Choosing the right type of bubble wrap depends on the  size of the object you wish to ship. If you plan on sending a small box, you  probably don't need to worry too much about the strength of the bubble wrap.  However, if you plan on sending a large piece of furniture, you should  definitely go with the triple bubble wrap.

Types of  Bubble Wrap

There are three main types of bubble wrap:  standard, high density, and low density. Standard bubble wrap is the most  common type of bubble wrap available today. It comes in rolls and sheets  which are typically sold in boxes. High density bubble wrap is thicker and  stronger than standard bubble wrap. Low density bubble wrap is thinner and  lighter weight than standard bubble wrap. All three types of bubble wrap are  effective at protecting goods during transit. However, each type has its own  advantages and disadvantages.

Standard Bubble  Wrap

Standard bubble wrap is the most commonly used form  of bubble wrap. It is inexpensive and easy to use. It is also very versatile.  It can be cut into different shapes and sizes depending on the application.  It is also extremely durable and can withstand extreme temperatures. It is  ideal for wrapping large bulky items. It is also useful for packing delicate  items such as jewelry and electronics.

High Density  Bubble Wrap

High density bubble wrap is thicker and  stronger than standard bubble wrap. It is also more difficult to tear apart.  It is ideal for wrapping heavy items such as furniture and appliances. It is  also good for wrapping small items such as jewelry and electronics. 

Low Density Bubble Wrap

Low density  bubble wrap is thinner and lighter weight than standard bubble wrap. It is  also easier to tear apart. It is ideal for wrapping smaller items such as  clothing and shoes. It is also useful for wrapping light items such as paper  and cardboard.
