Bubble Wrap - Large x 50M
Large Bubble Wrap (Airsafe 20) — Protective Cushioning for Packing & Shipping
Airsafe 20 large bubble wrap is a protective packaging film designed to cushion items in transit and storage. The larger bubble profile helps absorb knocks and vibration, making it a practical choice for wrapping fragile or awkward-shaped products, lining cartons, and creating a protective layer between items. This listing represents Airsafe 20 large bubble wrap supplied on a roll (variants may include different pack quantities).
Key Features

Supplied on a roll so you can tear or cut to length for wrapping individual items, interleaving layers, or lining boxes and crates.
Versatile protective packaging:
Suitable for wrapping, layering, and separating items—ideal when you need a lightweight cushioning material that conforms around shapes.
Helps protect surfaces:
Bubble wrap can help reduce abrasion and rubbing between products, particularly when used as an interleaving layer.
Convenient for warehouse and dispatch:
A common choice for packing benches and fulfilment areas where fast, repeatable protection is needed.

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 finish, and how the parcel will be handled. Airsafe 20 large bubble wrap is commonly selected when you want a more substantial air pocket than small bubble, helping provide extra shock absorption for a wide range of packing tasks.
How It Works
Bubble wrap protects by trapping air inside sealed bubbles. When an item is bumped or dropped, the air pockets compress and spread the force across a wider area, reducing the peak impact that reaches the product. Large bubbles generally provide a deeper cushion, which can be beneficial for heavier items or when you need more stand-off distance between the product and the outer carton.
For best results, wrap items with the bubble side facing inward toward the product so the bubbles compress against the surface. Use enough layers to suit the fragility and weight of the item, and secure the wrap with tape so it stays tight during transit.
Materials and Construction
Airsafe 20 bubble wrap is a plastic cushioning film formed into a sheet with sealed air bubbles. The large bubble construction is designed to provide consistent cushioning across the roll. As with most bubble wrap, it is lightweight and flexible, allowing it to conform around irregular shapes and provide protection without adding significant shipping weight.
Packaging Performance: Cushioning, Separation & Void Fill
Cushioning:
Large bubble wrap is primarily used as a cushioning layer around products. It can help reduce damage from knocks and vibration during handling.
Separation:
Use bubble wrap between items to prevent contact and surface abrasion—particularly useful for products with delicate finishes.
Void fill support:
While bubble wrap is not a loose-fill material, it can be folded or crumpled to help take up space in a carton and reduce movement, especially for smaller shipments.
Ideal Applications and Use Cases
- E-commerce fulfilment: wrapping products before placing into shipping cartons
- Warehousing: protecting items on shelves or in totes
- Removals and storage: cushioning household goods and fragile items
- Industrial packing: interleaving and surface protection for components
- General dispatch: quick protection for mixed consignments
Health and Safety
- Trip/slip risk: keep offcuts and loose sheets tidy around packing benches and walkways.
- Cutting: use a suitable safety knife or cutter and cut away from the body.
- Storage: store rolls in a clean, dry area to keep the film in good condition.
Maintenance, Cleaning and Care
Bubble wrap is a consumable packaging material and does not require maintenance. To keep it performing well, store rolls away from excessive heat and direct sunlight, and avoid crushing the roll edges which can make dispensing less convenient. If you use a dispenser or packing bench, ensure the roll is supported so it unwinds smoothly.
Practical Packing Tips (Getting the Best Protection)
- Use the right number of layers: heavier or more fragile items typically need more wraps.
- Protect corners and edges: add extra layers where impacts are most likely.
- Prevent movement in the carton: ensure the wrapped item fits snugly; add additional cushioning if there is space to rattle.
- Seal securely: tape the bubble wrap so it stays tight and doesn’t unwind during transit.
- Combine with a strong outer carton: bubble wrap works best as part of a complete packaging system.
Case Study (Typical Scenario)
A small fulfilment team shipping mixed orders needed a faster way to protect items with varying shapes and finishes. By keeping a roll of large bubble wrap at the packing bench, they were able to quickly wrap products, add an interleaving layer between multiple items in the same carton, and reduce scuffing and transit damage. The roll format also helped standardise packing steps across staff, improving consistency during busy periods.
