Bubble Wrap - Large x 50M
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap — Protective Cushioning for Packing, Storage & Transit
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is a heavy-duty protective packaging film designed to cushion and protect items during handling, storage and delivery. This product uses large bubbles (25mm) to create a resilient air-cushion layer that helps reduce the risk of knocks, scuffs and impact damage in transit. It’s a popular choice for wrapping fragile or awkwardly shaped goods, filling void space inside cartons, and adding a protective layer between stacked items.
Large-bubble wrap is especially useful when you need more shock absorption than small-bubble films can provide. The larger bubble profile helps create a thicker protective barrier, making it well suited to items such as ceramics, glassware, framed products, electronics, decorative pieces, and many other goods that benefit from extra cushioning.

Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right bubble wrap is about matching the cushioning performance to the product you’re packing and the conditions it will face in transit. Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is designed for situations where you want a more substantial protective layer than standard small-bubble films. Below is a practical guide to help you get the best results from large-bubble wrap in day-to-day packing operations.
How It Works
Bubble wrap protects items by trapping air inside sealed bubbles. When an item is bumped or dropped, the air pockets compress and absorb energy, reducing the force transferred to the product. With large 25mm bubbles, the cushioning layer is thicker, which can improve shock absorption for heavier or more delicate items and provide better protection over uneven surfaces and corners.
For best performance, wrap items so that the bubble layer creates consistent coverage around vulnerable points such as edges, corners and protrusions. Secure the wrap with packaging tape, and place the wrapped item into a suitably sized carton with additional void fill if needed to prevent movement.
Materials and Construction
This product is a protective plastic film manufactured with a large-bubble structure. The bubble profile is specified as Large (25mm), which is commonly used when extra cushioning is required. Supplied on a roll, it can be dispensed at a packing station and cut to the required length for each item.
Because bubble wrap is flexible, it conforms to a wide range of shapes, making it suitable for both regular and irregular items. It can be layered for additional protection where required.
Packaging Performance: When to Choose Large Bubble
Large-bubble wrap is typically selected when:
- The item is heavier or more fragile and benefits from a thicker cushioning layer
- You need better protection around corners, edges and protrusions
- The product has an uneven surface where small bubbles may not provide consistent coverage
- You want a protective wrap that can also help with void fill in cartons
If you are packing very lightweight items or need a tighter wrap around small components, small-bubble films may be more appropriate. Many packing operations keep both types available and choose based on the product being shipped.
Floor Type Compatibility (Packing Area Practicalities)
Bubble wrap is typically used at packing benches, on dispensers, or directly from the roll. In busy despatch areas, consider using a roll holder or dispenser to keep the film controlled and reduce the chance of the roll moving across smooth floors. Keeping the work area tidy also helps prevent slips and trips caused by loose film offcuts.
Health and Safety
As with all packaging films, safe handling practices are recommended:
- Keep walkways clear of offcuts to reduce slip/trip hazards
- Use appropriate cutting tools and follow site safety procedures when cutting film from the roll
- Store rolls securely to prevent them from rolling or falling from racking
If you are packing sharp-edged items, consider adding an additional protective layer (such as corrugated board or foam) to prevent punctures and maintain cushioning performance.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is widely used across many sectors. Common applications include:
- eCommerce fulfilment: wrapping fragile goods and protecting items inside shipping cartons
- Warehousing and distribution: interleaving between products on pallets or in totes
- Manufacturing: protecting finished goods and components prior to shipment
- Retail logistics: safeguarding stock during transfers between stores and warehouses
- Removals and storage: wrapping household items for moving and long-term storage
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Bubble wrap itself does not require maintenance, but good storage and handling will help preserve performance:
- Store rolls in a clean, dry area to keep the film free from dust and debris
- Avoid placing heavy objects on top of rolls, which can deform bubbles and reduce cushioning
- Use a dispenser where possible to reduce waste and improve packing speed
For consistent packing quality, train staff to wrap items with adequate overlap and to secure the wrap so it doesn’t loosen during transit.
Case Study (Example Packing Workflow)
Scenario: A small fulfilment team ships fragile homeware items that vary in shape and size. Some products have delicate corners and glossy surfaces that can scuff if they rub against cartons or other items.
Approach: The team wraps each item with large-bubble wrap, focusing on corners and edges, then secures the wrap with tape. The wrapped item is placed into a correctly sized carton with additional void fill where needed to prevent movement.
Outcome: The thicker cushioning layer helps reduce damage from knocks and drops, while the protective barrier helps minimise surface scuffs during handling.
Who Is It For?
- Businesses shipping fragile or higher-risk items that need enhanced cushioning
- Warehouses and despatch teams looking for a fast, versatile protective wrap
- Removal companies and storage providers protecting household goods

Need help choosing the right protective packaging?
If you’re unsure whether large bubble is the best fit for your products, consider the item weight, fragility, and how much movement is likely inside the carton. A combination of the right carton size, bubble wrap, and void fill typically delivers the best transit protection.
