Providing customers with products in peak condition is critical for distributors. Unfortunately, products loosely placed in packaging are susceptible to damage. Small objects are often difficult to secure in more robust packaging. Grouping them in bags that have no protective qualities can be a waste of money and materials. Paper and other protective packaging have little material flexibility and provide limited protection.

Adherex offers multiple bubble wrap solutions to meet the specific challenges of your shipping or storage application.

Bubble Pouches with Lip & Tape:

An adhesive strip extends on a lip from the pouch, eliminating the need for extra tape. Bubble lip pouches are ideal for general packaging and securing smaller items inside larger, multi-component packages. Our standard material is 3/16″ bubble-size polyethylene.

Flush-cut Bubble Pouches:

Flush-cut pouches have no lip. They are cut with an open end, ideal for atypically shaped items. Adherex also features die-cut pouches customized for specific applications. Flush-cut pouches are available in our standard 3/16″ bubble-size polyethylene material.

Bubble Sheets & Rolls:

Bubble rolls and sheets are an excellent fit for shippers who need maximum flexibility and convenience for large and oddly shaped products. Adherex’s bubble rolls/sheets come in Standard, Heavy-Duty, Recycled, and Double-Foil Insulation varieties.

The Standard wrap comes in 3/16″, 5/16″, and 1/2″ bubble size for general protective shipping. Heavy duty is stretch- and tear-resistant, which is suitable for shipping delicate products or equipment. Recycled bubble sheets/rolls are made from recycled plastic materials and offer the same protection and size variety as standard. Double Foil Insulated wraps feature aluminum layered on both sides for building/window insulation, HVAC duct insulation, and car window shielding.

At Adherex, we offer customizable shipping and packaging solutions.

We provide our customers with various bubble wraps in different materials, properties, bubble sizes, and sheet or roll lengths to fit their application needs. Flush-cut bubble pouches are available for custom die-cutting to suit your specific packaging needs. Adhesive bubble pouches offer enhanced protection and better organization in multi-part parcels.

Leverage the decades of collective packaging knowledge and experience of the Adherex Group. Our customer service team will work with you to find the right product for your application.

What are the advantages of bubble packaging over other types of materials?

Bubble wrap is cost-effective, lightweight, and reusable. Additionally, it is flexible and conforms to the shape of your products, either in convenient pouch form or sheets or rolls for more extensive applications. Shippers can also find Heavy-Duty, Recycled, and Double-Foil Insulation options from Adherex to best suit their precise needs.

Can bubble plastic be recycled?

Yes, but only at specific recycling facilities. Soft plastic wrap can get caught in traditional recycling machinery. There are designated soft plastic recycling pickup points and facilities specializing in recycling soft plastics.

Does bubble wrap deflate over time?

Yes. The deflation rate varies depending on factors such as storage conditions. Some types of bubble packaging have an additional layer of nylon to prolong the wrap’s lifetime. In general, bubble wrap has a shelf life of one to seven years.

Is bubble wrap safe for long-term storage?

Yes. Bubble wrap is ideal for long-term storage of fragile items.

Ensuring that a package arrives with its contents intact is critical for retailers and manufacturers of all types. This is especially true in the transportation industry, where fragile parts like glass must be moved between facilities for assembly. Medical and food suppliers also need antimicrobial and temperature control solutions.
