Bubble Wraps

 

Two jobs, two products. A hand roll of bubble wrap covers the odd parcel: cut a length and wrap the breakable bit. The DSB air cushion films feed through a machine and inflate on demand, so a flat roll turns into metres of cushioning for packing in volume. Buy a single roll or by the carton, dispatched same or next working day from our Auckland warehouse.

Bubble wrap comes on a roll ready to use, you cut a length and wrap it around the item by hand. DSB air cushion film arrives flat and needs an air cushion machine to inflate it: air pillow film makes loose pillows for filling gaps in a box, and air bubble cushion film makes large bubbles you wrap around the product. Hand rolls suit low volume, the machine films suit a packing line.
Yes. The air pillow and air bubble cushion films are supplied flat and only become cushioning once a DSB air cushion machine inflates them. If you do not run a machine, choose a standard 500mm or 650mm bubble wrap roll instead.
Use 500mm for everyday parcels like mugs, books and small boxed items, where it folds neatly over the box. Choose 650mm when the item is larger than a fist, such as a vase, framed print or small appliance, so you can wrap all the way around in one pass without taping two strips together.
Put the bubbles facing in, against the item. The bubbles are what cushion the product, and keeping them on the inside protects them from being popped against other parcels in transit, while the flat side gives a smooth surface to tape over.
As a rule of thumb, allow two to three layers around any fragile part and enough to pad the corners. A 1.5 metre roll covers the occasional gift or single breakable, while a 5 metre roll suits a steady run of sends. For high volume, the 300 metre DSB machine films work out lower cost per parcel.

Hand rolls or air cushion machine?

Bubble wrap on a roll is the grab-and-go option: cut a length, wrap the breakable part, tape it shut. The 500mm width suits most everyday parcels, and the wider 650mm wraps bigger items like a vase or framed print in one pass. Roll lengths run from 1.5 metres for the occasional send up to 5 metres for steady use.

The DSB air cushion films are the machine system. Air pillow film inflates into loose pillows that fill the gaps in a box as void fill, while air bubble cushion film inflates into large bubbles you wrap around the item. Both feed through a DSB air cushion machine and come on 300 metre rolls for packing in volume.

Two jobs, two products. If you post the odd parcel, a hand roll of bubble wrap is all you need: cut a length, wrap the breakable bit, tape it shut. If you pack in volume, the DSB air cushion films feed through a machine and inflate on demand, so a flat roll the size of a phone book turns into metres of cushioning at the bench.

500mm or 650mm roll

Width is the first call. The 500mm roll wraps most everyday sends, a mug, a book, a phone, a small boxed item, and folds neatly over a courier-bag-sized parcel. Step up to 650mm when the item is bigger than your fist, a vase, a framed print or a small appliance, so you can wrap right around in one pass instead of taping two strips together. Lengths run from a 1.5 metre roll for occasional use up to 5 metres for a steady run of orders.

Bubble wrap or air cushion film

Hand bubble wrap goes straight around the product. The DSB films split that into two ideas: air pillow film inflates into loose pillows you drop into the box as void fill, filling the gaps so nothing rattles, while air bubble cushion film inflates into a sheet of large bubbles you wrap around the item like machine-made bubble wrap. Both films need a DSB air cushion machine to run and come on 300 metre rolls, so they suit a packing line rather than a one-off send.

What to pack it with

Wrap is half the parcel. Seal the seams with packaging tape so the cushioning stays put in transit. For a fragile item, a rigid cardboard box with wrap inside beats a soft satchel; for something light and tough, a padded mailing bag or courier bag keeps the parcel small. Finish with an address label from our labels range.
