Bubble Wrap - Large x 50M
Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap is a protective packaging film designed to cushion and safeguard items in transit and storage. This listing covers the Airsafe 20 large-bubble format (commonly referenced as 25mm bubbles) supplied on a roll, making it easy to dispense, cut and wrap around products of many shapes and sizes.
Large bubble wrap is typically chosen when you need a deeper cushioning layer than small-bubble film can provide—ideal for protecting bulkier, heavier or more fragile items where impact absorption and void fill are important. Use it as a primary wrap directly around products, as an interleaving layer between items, or as a void-fill material inside cartons and crates.
Key Features
Large-bubble cushioning (25mm class):
The larger bubble profile creates a thicker protective layer that helps absorb knocks and vibration during handling and transport.
Roll format for fast packing:
Supplied on a roll so you can pull, cut and wrap quickly—useful for busy packing benches and despatch areas.
Versatile protection for many item shapes:
Wrap around corners, edges and irregular shapes, or use as a separating layer between products to reduce scuffing and contact damage.
Void fill and carton stabilisation:
Scrunch or fold the film to fill empty space in boxes, helping prevent movement that can lead to damage.
Lightweight protective material:
Adds cushioning without adding significant weight, supporting efficient shipping and handling.
Simple to cut and handle:
Can be cut to length with standard safety cutters or scissors, allowing you to tailor protection to each pack.

Airsafe 20 Large Bubble Wrap — Full Product Guide
Choosing the right bubble wrap is about matching the cushioning level to the product risk: weight, fragility, surface sensitivity and the expected handling conditions. Airsafe 20 large bubble wrap is positioned as a robust, general-purpose protective film with a larger bubble size (often described as 20–25mm), making it a practical option when you want more shock absorption than small-bubble alternatives.
How It Works
Bubble wrap protects by trapping air inside sealed bubbles. When an item is bumped or dropped, the air pockets compress and distribute the force across the film, reducing the peak impact transmitted to the product. The larger bubble structure provides a thicker cushion layer, which can be beneficial for heavier items or for packs that may experience rougher handling.
For best results, wrap items so the bubble layer sits between the product and the outside environment. Overlap the film and secure it with packaging tape where needed. For items with sharp corners, consider adding extra layers at stress points.
Materials and Construction
Large bubble wrap is a flexible plastic film formed into a bubble pattern and laminated to a flat backing layer. This construction creates a consistent cushioning surface while keeping the film easy to wrap and fold. The roll format supports repeatable packing processes and helps maintain a tidy packing station.
Protection Level and When to Choose Large Bubble
Large bubble wrap is commonly selected when:
- The item is heavier or more fragile and benefits from deeper cushioning.
- You need void fill as well as wrapping protection.
- You want to reduce vibration and movement during transit.
Small bubble wrap can be better for lightweight items or where a tighter wrap is needed around small shapes. Large bubble wrap, by contrast, is often preferred for bulkier goods and for creating a thicker protective barrier.
Floor Type Compatibility (Packing Area Considerations)
While bubble wrap is not a floor covering, the way it’s handled in a packing area matters. Rolls can be used on benches, packing tables, or mounted on dispensers. If you use a floor-standing dispenser, ensure the roll is stable and the cutting method is safe to reduce trip hazards and improve workflow.
Health and Safety
- Cutting: Use appropriate cutters and follow safe cutting practices. Keep blades sharp and retractable where possible.
- Slips and trips: Keep offcuts and loose film under control—bubble wrap can be slippery underfoot.
- Packaging integrity: Avoid leaving sharp edges exposed; add extra layers or corner protection for pointed items.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
Warehousing and distribution: Wrap products before placing into cartons, or use as a cushioning layer inside cases and totes.
eCommerce fulfilment: Protect items that need more than a thin wrap—especially where parcels may be handled multiple times.
Removals and storage: Wrap household items, ornaments and breakables; use between stacked items to reduce rubbing.
Manufacturing and assembly: Protect components and finished goods from knocks and surface contact during internal movement.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Bubble wrap is typically a single-use protective packaging material, but it can sometimes be reused for internal moves or storage if it remains intact. Store rolls in a clean, dry area away from sharp objects that could puncture the bubbles. Keep the roll wrapped or covered when not in use to reduce dust and maintain presentation at the packing bench.
Case Study (Example Packing Workflow)
Scenario: A warehouse ships mixed orders containing fragile items and boxed goods. Parcels are handled through multiple touchpoints (pick, pack, carrier collection, sorting, final delivery).
- The packer wraps the item with large bubble wrap, adding extra layers at corners.
- The wrapped item is placed in a carton with additional bubble wrap used as void fill to prevent movement.
- The carton is sealed and labelled, reducing the risk of transit damage and returns.
This approach helps stabilise the contents and provides cushioning against knocks and vibration.
Who Is It For?
- Businesses shipping fragile or higher-risk items that need enhanced cushioning
- Warehouses and fulfilment teams looking for a fast, flexible protective wrap
- Removals and storage users needing reliable cushioning for household goods
- Operations that want one versatile material for wrapping and void fill

Need help choosing?
If you’re unsure whether large bubble is the right fit, consider the item’s weight, fragility and how much void space is in the carton. A thicker cushion and good void fill typically reduce movement and improve protection in transit.
