Six Essential Rules of Bubble Wrap

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:

  • P10K - bubble laminated to kraft paper for strong, writable wrap.
  • P10F - 1mm foam laminated to bubble to protect delicate finishes.
  • Foil and white plastic laminations are also options.

5. Use the Right Type of Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap can be customised for different uses:

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.
