Bubble Wrap - Large x 50M
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is a protective packaging film designed to cushion items in transit and storage. This product uses large, air-filled bubbles to create a resilient barrier that helps reduce the risk of knocks, scuffs and vibration damage when wrapping, interleaving or void-filling around products.
Key Features
Large-bubble cushioning:
Large bubbles provide a deeper shock-absorbing layer than small-bubble films, making it a strong choice for protecting bulkier or more fragile items.
Lightweight protection:
Adds cushioning without adding significant weight, helping you protect goods while keeping handling practical.
Flexible and easy to wrap:
Conforms around corners and irregular shapes, allowing you to wrap items tightly and create a consistent protective layer.
Versatile packing roles:
Use as an outer wrap, as an interleaving layer between items, or as a void-fill material inside cartons to reduce movement.
Compatible with common packing workflows:
Suitable for hand wrapping at a bench, packing stations, and general warehouse dispatch environments.
- Large-bubble cushioning for enhanced impact absorption
- Lightweight protective wrap for shipping and storage
- Flexible film that conforms to shapes and edges
- Multi-purpose: wrap, interleave, and void-fill
- Practical for daily use in packing and dispatch
Typical Uses
- Wrapping fragile or delicate items prior to boxing
- Protecting surfaces from scratches during handling
- Separating stacked items to prevent rubbing and abrasion
- Filling void space in cartons to reduce movement in transit
- General warehouse, eCommerce and retail dispatch packing
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap — Full Product Guide
Bubble wrap is one of the most widely used protective packaging materials because it combines cushioning and flexibility in a single, easy-to-handle format. Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is designed around larger bubbles, which create a thicker protective layer and can be particularly useful when you need extra cushioning for items that are more vulnerable to impact or where cartons may experience rougher handling.
How It Works
Bubble wrap works by trapping air inside sealed bubbles. When an item is bumped or dropped, the air pockets compress and help absorb and spread the force of impact. With large-bubble films, each bubble contains more air volume, which can provide a deeper cushioning effect and help reduce point-pressure on corners and edges.
For best results, wrap items so the bubble layer forms a continuous protective barrier. Overlap the film and secure it with tape where needed. If you are packing multiple items in one carton, use bubble wrap between items as an interleaving layer to prevent contact and abrasion.
Materials and Construction
This product is a plastic bubble film constructed with a flat backing layer and a bubble layer that forms the air pockets. The film is designed to be flexible enough for wrapping while maintaining bubble integrity during normal packing and handling.
Because bubble wrap is supplied on a roll, it can be dispensed and cut to length as required, helping reduce waste compared with pre-cut sheets when packing a wide variety of product shapes.
Packaging Performance and Protection
Large-bubble wrap is commonly chosen when you want a more substantial cushioning layer. It can help protect against:
- Impact and knocks during handling and transport
- Vibration that can cause movement-related damage over longer journeys
- Surface scuffs when used as a wrap or interleaving layer
As with any protective packaging, performance depends on how the item is packed (wrap thickness, overlap, carton strength, and void fill). If you are shipping particularly fragile goods, consider combining bubble wrap with a strong outer carton and additional void fill to minimise movement.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is a practical choice across many sectors and packing scenarios, including:
- Warehouse dispatch: day-to-day protection for mixed product ranges
- eCommerce fulfilment: wrapping items before placing into cartons or mailers
- Retail and trade counters: quick protective wrapping for customer collections
- Storage and removals: protecting items from knocks and surface marks
- Manufacturing and distribution: interleaving and cushioning between components
Health and Safety
- Cutting: Use a suitable safety knife or cutter and cut away from the body. Keep blades sharp to reduce snagging and improve control.
- Trip hazards: Keep offcuts tidy and dispose of waste promptly to reduce slip/trip risks around packing benches.
- Manual handling: When handling rolls, use safe lifting techniques and consider storage at an accessible height.
- Choking hazard: Keep packaging materials away from children.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Bubble wrap is a consumable protective material and does not require maintenance. To keep it in good condition before use:
- Store rolls in a clean, dry area away from sharp edges that could puncture the film.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to heat sources that could affect the film.
- Dispense and cut on a clean surface to reduce contamination and snagging.
Case Study (Example Packing Workflow)
Scenario: A small dispatch team ships mixed items daily, including boxed goods and delicate products with vulnerable corners.
Approach: Items are wrapped with large-bubble film to create a consistent cushioning layer, then placed into a suitably sized carton. Any remaining void space is filled to prevent movement. The result is a more stable pack that helps reduce corner damage and surface scuffs during courier handling.
Why large bubble? The deeper cushioning layer helps protect items where a thinner wrap may not provide enough shock absorption.
Who Is It For?
- Businesses that need a dependable, everyday protective wrap for shipping
- Warehouses and fulfilment operations packing a variety of product shapes
- Retailers and trade counters needing quick, effective cushioning
- Anyone looking for a large-bubble option for extra protective depth

Need help choosing?
If you’re unsure whether large-bubble or small-bubble wrap is best for your application, consider the item’s fragility, weight, and how much void space you need to fill. Large bubbles are often preferred when you want a thicker cushioning layer and faster coverage for larger items.
