6 Essential Rules To Help Save You Money & Time When Using Bubble Wrap
ABL Are Bubblewrap Experts!
Bubble Wrap is a warehouse and packing essential. It can be bulky, but with the right approach, you’ll handle it smarter and cheaper.
Here are 6 simple rules from ABL’s 30 years experience that’ll make your bubble wrap usage efficient, easier, and cost-effective.
1. Use the Right Size Bubble
Bubble wrap comes in various bubble sizes. Use larger bubbles when you need extra cushioning or want fewer layers.
- 10mm (standard) bubbles
- 20mm bubbles
- 32mm bubbles
2. Slit Your Bubble Wrap Into Usable Widths (For FREE!)
Avoid waste and speed up your work by getting your 1500mm wide bubble wrap slit into up to 5 smaller rolls for free! More slits are available for a small fee.
3. Perforate for Easy Tear-off Portions
If you frequently use the same bubble wrap size, perforating the roll saves time and reduces injuries. Just tell us the tear-off length you want (e.g. 500mm), and we’ll customise it.
4. Laminate Your Bubble! (Don’t Double Wrap)
Replace double wrapping by laminating bubble wrap with paper or foam for a single, efficient wrap. Examples:
5. Use the Right Type of Bubble Wrap
Bubble wrap can be customised for different uses:
- Anti-static bubble wrap for electronic parts.
- Eco-friendly degradable bubble wrap for environmentally conscious users.
- Double-sided bubble wrap reduces bubble breakage and protects sharp or uneven items.
6. Dispense It Right to Save Space & Labour
Bulky bubble wrap is easier to handle when dispensed properly.
Save floor space, protect your bubble cushions, and reduce manual labour with a bubble wrap dispenser.
DIY options are great, or grab a sturdy dispensing stand for convenience.
