How do bubble size, layers, and roll configurations impact bubble wrap performance?
When it comes to protective packaging, bubble wrap is an unsung hero. Its versatility, strength, and ability to protect items of all shapes and sizes make it essential for businesses across many industries. But how do bubble size, layers, and roll configurations impact performance? Sancell’s range of Phoenix Bubble Wrap is designed to meet diverse needs, offering everything from small, precise protection to robust cushioning.
Let’s dive into the world of Sancell’s bubble wrap sizes and layers to help you find the perfect fit for your packaging needs.
The Basics: Why Bubble Size Matters
Bubble size plays a crucial role in determining how bubble wrap performs for different applications:
- 10mm bubbles: Perfect for delicate items, these bubbles provide gentle cushioning and reduce surface scratching. Ideal for small items like cosmetics, fragile keepsakes, or lightweight decorative pieces.
- 20mm bubbles: A versatile option offering balanced cushioning and void fill, suitable for a variety of everyday products.
- 30mm bubbles: These bubbles pack a punch when it comes to impact resistance. They’re great for heavier or irregularly shaped items that need robust protection during transit.
Layers: What Difference Does It Make?
Bubble wrap isn’t just about the size of the bubbles. The number of layers in the bubble wrap also plays a big role in performance.
2-Layer Bubble Wrap
This is the classic option, with one layer of bubbles attached to a smooth backing. Lightweight and cost-effective, it’s great for everyday protective needs.
- Available in 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm bubble sizes.
- Roll lengths ranging from 50m to 200m for versatile use.
- Best for wrapping smaller, lightweight items or padding within boxes.
3-Layer Bubble Wrap
Need extra durability? Sancell’s 3-layer bubble wrap adds a protective barrier, increasing resistance to punctures and compression.
- Available in 10mm, 20mm, and 30mm bubble sizes.
- Roll lengths from 50m to 200m to suit different consumption needs.
