Bubble Wrap - Large x 50M
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap (Large Bubble / 25mm) is a protective packaging film designed to cushion, wrap and separate items during storage, handling and transit. This listing represents the Airsafe 20 large-bubble range, supplied on a roll and commonly chosen when you need thicker, more impact-absorbing bubbles than standard small-bubble wrap.
Large-bubble wrap is ideal for protecting heavier or more fragile items because the bigger air cells provide greater stand-off and shock absorption. It can be used as a primary wrap around products, as an interleaving layer between items, or as void fill inside cartons to reduce movement.
Key Features
Large 25mm bubbles:
The large bubble profile provides enhanced cushioning and impact absorption compared with small-bubble films, helping to protect items from knocks and vibration in transit.
Roll format for fast packing:
Supplied on a roll so you can dispense, cut and wrap quickly at a bench, packing station or warehouse line. Roll stock is convenient for repeatable wrapping and consistent coverage.
Versatile protective layer:
Use it to wrap products directly, line cartons, separate stacked items, or create protective pads. Large bubble wrap is a flexible solution for many packing styles.
Helps reduce transit damage:
By cushioning edges and surfaces and limiting movement inside the box, bubble wrap can help reduce scuffs, chips and breakages caused by handling and transport.
Suitable for a wide range of goods:
Commonly used for ceramics, glassware, framed items, electronics (when used with appropriate ESD precautions where required), homewares, automotive parts and general e-commerce fulfilment.

Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap — Full Product Guide
Introduction
Airsafe 20 large bubble wrap is designed for practical, everyday protection where you want a thicker cushioning layer than standard small-bubble films. The large bubbles create a resilient air barrier that helps absorb shocks and reduce vibration, making it a dependable choice for packing operations that handle mixed product types and varying weights.
How It Works
Bubble wrap protects by trapping air inside sealed bubbles. When an item is bumped or dropped, the air cells compress and spread the force over a wider area, reducing the peak impact that reaches the product. Large bubbles provide more stand-off (distance between the item and the outside surface) and can absorb larger impacts, which is why they are often selected for heavier items or for outer layers of protection.
For best results, wrap items so the bubble layer provides consistent coverage, paying extra attention to corners and edges. In cartons, combine bubble wrap with good box selection and correct void fill so items cannot move freely.
Materials and Construction
This product is a plastic bubble film manufactured with a large-bubble profile (25mm). Bubble films are typically made by laminating a bubble layer to a flat backing film, creating a flexible sheet with sealed air pockets. The roll format allows you to tear or cut to length depending on the item being packed.
If you are packing items with delicate finishes, consider using an additional soft interleaf (such as tissue or foam) where needed to minimise any risk of surface marking, especially on high-gloss or easily scuffed materials.
Floor Type Compatibility
Bubble wrap is a packaging material rather than a floor covering, but it is commonly used in packing areas and warehouses. It can be dispensed at packing benches, on cutting tables, or from wall/stand dispensers. Keep the work area clear of loose film offcuts to reduce slip hazards, and store rolls so they cannot roll or fall from racking.
Health and Safety
- Trip and slip prevention: Keep offcuts and loose sheets tidy; bubble film can be slippery underfoot.
- Cutting safety: Use appropriate safety knives or cutters and cut away from the body.
- Choking hazard: Keep plastic packaging away from children.
- Static considerations: Standard bubble wrap is not inherently anti-static; if packing static-sensitive electronics, use suitable ESD-safe packaging where required.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Fragile and breakable goods
Large bubble wrap is widely used for glassware, ceramics, ornaments and other breakables. The larger air cells help absorb knocks and reduce the chance of impact damage.
Heavier items and awkward shapes
For heavier products, large bubbles can provide a more robust cushioning layer. Wrap multiple layers as needed and ensure the item is immobilised inside the carton.
Outer wrap and carton lining
Large bubble is often used as an outer protective wrap or as a carton liner, with smaller bubble or foam used closer to the product for surface protection where necessary.
Storage and removals
Ideal for protecting household items during moves or long-term storage, helping prevent chips, scratches and pressure marks.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Bubble wrap is generally a single-use protective packaging material, but it can be reused if it remains clean and the bubbles are intact. Store rolls in a clean, dry area away from sharp objects that could puncture the film. Avoid prolonged exposure to heat sources or direct sunlight where possible, as this can affect plastic films over time.
Case Study (Example Packing Method)
Scenario: Packing a fragile homeware item for courier shipment.
Approach:
- Wrap the item with sufficient layers of large bubble wrap, ensuring corners and edges are well protected.
- Secure the wrap with tape so it cannot loosen during handling.
- Choose a strong outer carton with enough space for cushioning on all sides.
- Line the carton with additional bubble wrap and fill remaining voids so the item cannot move.
- Seal the carton securely and apply handling labels if required.
This method helps reduce movement and spreads impact forces, improving the chance of safe delivery.
Who Is It For?
- E-commerce fulfilment teams packing mixed product ranges
- Warehouses and distribution centres needing fast, reliable cushioning
- Retailers shipping fragile or premium items
- Removal companies and storage facilities
- Home users packing items for moving or storage
Colours / Features Available
Bubble wrap is commonly supplied as a clear/transparent film so packers can identify items and labels beneath the wrap. If you require specialist options (such as anti-static or coloured films), choose a product specifically designed for that purpose.
Sizes Available
This product page may represent multiple roll widths and pack quantities within the Airsafe 20 large-bubble range. Select the required option from the variant choices on this page. If you need guidance on choosing the most suitable roll width for your packing bench, carton sizes or throughput, consider how often you wrap small items versus larger items and whether you want a wider roll for carton lining.
Tip: For best protection, match the cushioning level to the product risk: use large bubble for impact absorption and void reduction, and add additional surface protection (paper/foam) for delicate finishes where needed.
