Applications of Bubble Wrap Packaging Films

Bubble Wrap or air bubble packing is a transparent plastic packaging material that is mainly used to pack fragile or easily breakable items. The bubbles have regularly spaced protruding air-filled hemispheres which function as the cushioning agent for sensitive and easily breakable objects. The bubble wrappers are available in various sizes.

Though you can pack anything with this packaging film, there are certain items that needs to be protected better and packed with care. Let’s have a look at the articles that are usually packaged in bubble wrap films.

Fragile Items

The precious chinaware, glasses, mirrors, artworks such as paintings, and figurines, and vases fall under the category of fragile items. These are delicate and are susceptible to damage. Therefore, bubble wraps are advised as the packaging film to provide the best protection.

Sensitive Products

Electronics and electrical items are delicate and can be compromised if they are not well protected. Even a gentle fall can result in irreversible damage. Again, these items have to be protected from static-induced electric charge. Wrapping these products in anti-static bubble wrap will ensure that the products are safe even if they happen to fall down and also it will protect the items from electro-static discharge.

Sentimental Items

Family heirlooms, delicate keepsake objects, precious books that you hold dear to your heart are some of the sentimental items that anyone would want to wrap with utmost care when relocating or putting it away in a storage. Bubble wrap packaging film is an efficient, safest and easiest packing option to consider.

Furniture
