Bubble Wrap
Quick answer
Protective bubble rolls, small and large bubble.
Bubble wrap remains the most versatile way to protect fragile and awkward items. We supply small-bubble rolls for surface protection and cushioning, and large-bubble rolls for shock absorption around heavier goods. Available in standard and recycled-content film, in a range of widths and roll lengths to suit hand-packing or bench dispensers.
Best for
- Wrapping fragile surfaces
- Cushioning glass, ceramics and electronics
- Filling around awkward shapes
- House-move protection
Common sizes & specs
A quick reference — exact spec is on each product and its spec sheet.

Buying bubble wrap in volume?
Bubble is bulky to ship, so pallet quantities save the most. High-volume packers should ask about pallet pricing and paper bubble alternatives.

Specs, explained
- Micron(Micrometre, um, mu)
- A unit of thickness equal to one thousandth of a millimetre, used to measure plastic films such as pallet wrap and mailing bags. Higher micron means a thicker, tougher film. More
- Void fill(Packing filler, Box filler, Dunnage)
- Material used to fill empty space in a box so contents cannot move in transit. Common types include paper, air pillows, bubble wrap and loose fill. More
- Recyclable packaging(Recyclable materials, Kerbside recyclable packaging)
- Packaging that can be collected, reprocessed and made into new products. Recyclability depends on the material and on whether local facilities actually accept it. More
Bubble wrap vs paper void fill
Both protect goods in transit, but they do different jobs — one cushions the product, one fills the gaps.
Bubble wrap
Wraps and cushions the product surface.
Best for: Fragile items needing impact protection
- Absorbs shocks around glass, ceramics, electronics
- Small bubble for surfaces, large bubble for heavy items
- Recyclable at soft-plastic points (or paper bubble)
- Doesn't stop movement inside an oversized box
Paper void fill
Fills empty space so contents can't shift.
Best for: Stopping movement in the box
- Kerbside recyclable kraft paper
- Fast to scrunch and pack by hand or machine
- Right-size the box first to use less
- Less direct cushioning than bubble on its own
Common buyer questions
What is the best void fill for fragile items?
Pair cushioning (bubble wrap) around the item with void fill (kraft paper or air cushions) to stop movement. Fill any gap larger than about 3cm.
What packaging do I need for ecommerce orders?
A box or mailing bag sized to the product, void fill or bubble wrap so nothing moves, plus tape and a courier label. Right-sizing keeps postage and damage down.
Which boxes fit Royal Mail Large Letter?
Boxes within 353 × 250 × 25mm post as a Large Letter. Our PiP postal boxes are cut to sit inside those limits so you pay the cheaper rate.
Poly or paper mailing bags — which should I use?
Poly mailers are waterproof, lightest and cheapest; paper mailers are kerbside recyclable with a premium feel but less water resistance.
