Because they\u2019re cut to set lengths, they\u2019re better for packaging portion control and reduce the chance of over packing, making them more cost effective than using standard rolls.\u00a0 Perfect if you\u2019re wrapping many items of a similar size.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/bubble-wrap-packaging\/small-bubble-wrap-dispenser-box_PDT01481.html?testclick=T2S\">Bubble dispenser boxes<\/a> make the process even easier by keeping the roll tidy and dust free in a convenient compact box.<\/p>\n<p>For smaller items <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/bubble-wrap-packaging\/bubble-wrap-bags_C161012.html\">bubble wrap bags<\/a> offer all the protective benefits of wrap but in a useful bag, perfect for protecting low profile items that can easily slip around inside.\u00a0 Bags can be sealed with an adhesive strip, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-machines\/shrink-heat-sealer-machines\/heat-sealers_C241410.html\">heat sealer<\/a>\u00a0or tape, and once sealed they provide all round cushioning and protection for the contents.\u00a0 Speciality bags are available too, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/bubble-wrap-packaging\/anti-static-bubble-bags_PDT01316.html\">anti-static bubble bags<\/a> which are perfect for delicate sensitive

href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging_C16.html\">Protective bubble<\/a> is a highly versatile packaging material which is one of the main reasons why it\u2019s so popular.\u00a0 With the air cushioning that it offers, it can protect everything from light cushioning of smaller items to heavy duty protection for fragile items such as ceramics or glass.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re shipping polished items though, be sure to note that bubble wrap can leave small cell marks that can be hard to remove, caused by the small air bubbles pressing on polished material.\u00a0 Materials such as polished metal, glass or wood are susceptible to this, so if you\u2019re shipping polished, premium items we recommend wrapping them in another material first, such as polythene or foam, before wrapping in bubble wrap.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Foam Packaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/foam-packaging_C1614.html\">Foam packaging<\/a> is lesser known than bubble wrap and usually overlooked but offers astounding protection from a very lightweight, thin material. \u00a0Tiny air bubbles within the foam provide excellent cushioning and give the foam bounce, resulting in a high performance material that excels at protecting products.<\/p>\n<p>Lint and dust free, foam is non-abrasive, meaning it won\u2019t scratch or leave any marks at all.\u00a0 This makes it perfect for wrapping polished and shiny items such as metal, glass or polished wood, protecting against surface rubbing and scuffing.<\/p>\n<p>Standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging_C16.html\">foam protection<\/a> is less likely to build static electricity than bubble wrap due to the way it\u2019s constructed which makes it better for general electrical equipment and sensitive parts. \u00a0It can be laminated to give it additional properties too such as extra strength, puncture resistance, or to enhance its aesthetics. \u00a0If you\u2019re looking for a material that can be re-used then foam is the perfect choice, retaining its bounce and protective qualities due to how it is constructed.<\/p>\n<p>Like bubble wrap, there are different types of foam packaging available.\u00a0 It can be bought on a roll and in this form it\u2019s called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/foam-packaging\/foam-rolls_PDT01288.html\">foam wrap<\/a>.\u00a0 It can be cut to size and used to wrap, separate, and insulate.\u00a0 It\u2019s lightweight and easily handled so it can be used to wrap and protect awkwardly shaped items in a similar way to bubble wrap.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"

thicknesses from a slim 1mm for surface protection and interleaving, up to a thicker 4mm which is more suited to cushioning and insulating, with more bounce in the material.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/foam-packaging\/foam-blocks_C161414.html\">Foam blocks<\/a> are another popular type of foam, solid blocks which can be used for bracing and blocking in packages, separating items or reinforcing corners.\u00a0 These offer solid, unbreakable reinforcement for parcels and are ideal for protecting items such as furniture. They are constructed in a way that makes them more solid than foam wrap, in a similar way to polystyrene manufacturing but it is easier to cut and work with, lightweight, and can be used many times over.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1630\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1539\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks.png 1539w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks-430x135.png 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks-768x241.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks-1024x321.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks-1536x482.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Foam-blocks-624x196.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1539px) 100vw, 1539px\" \/><\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Which material is right for you?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Both materials are brilliant choices for protective packaging but they do have different properties which makes them better for different uses.\u00a0 As with all packaging, we recommend using the right material for the right purpose, so when deciding which one to choose, evaluate what you\u2019re going to be using it for before making a purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Bubble wrap is a great all-round protector.\u00a0 With air cushioning it gives a great layer of protection whether you\u2019re wrapping lightweight items or heavy and fragile products.\u00a0 The various thicknesses available cater for a wide range of item sizes and weights.\u00a0 You need to be aware that it can leave marks behind on polished and reflective surfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Foam packaging is generally thinner and lighter than bubble wrap, which means you can store more square metres on site, and it\u2019ll take up less space in cartons.\u00a0 It\u2019s perfect if you\u2019re shipping delicate items with premium polished surfaces as its smooth texture won\u2019t leave a single mark on products, making it ideal for ceramics, large electronic equipment, furniture or highly polished parts such as alloy wheels.<\/p>\n<p>Price is always a consideration for packaging and the good news here is that both materials are highly comparable on price per square metre. With 3x as many square metres on a 1mm bundle of foam as there are on a bundle of small 1500mm x 100m bubble wrap, make sure you\u2019re selecting the right thickness and material for your needs to keep your packaging cost effective.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The Expert Opinion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, we caught up with two experts to see what advice they could offer when selecting between the two.\u00a0 We spoke to Fiona MacDougall, Sales and Marketing Director at Jiffy, to get her take on these two materials:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/raja-group.atlassian.net\/secure\/attachment\/94724\/ban-quote2.png\" alt=\"ban-quote2.png\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhether you choose to use bubble wrap packaging or foam packaging, both products offer superb protection.\u00a0 Bubble offers\u00a0ease of use, economy, and effective protection, while foam offers characteristics that protect delicate surfaces and polished finishes, due to its ability to reduce scuffing, rubbing and marking.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, bubble wrap has always been the &#8216;go to&#8217; product for packers, but steadily users are realising the many benefits of packaging foam. It is lightweight, retains its memory and the wide range of thicknesses offer superb choice and value depending on the application. A firm favourite is to use the two materials combined &#8211; bubble bonded to foam, making a bubble\/foam laminated material.\u00a0 This means you get the bounce and cushion of bubble combined with the care and non-abrasion of foam. Ask our partners Rajapack for more details on this excellent product.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We also caught up with Chris Liddell, Head of Product Marketing at Rajapack to get this thoughts on the importance of fully weighing up all your options when sourcing your packaging:<br \/>\n\u201cAs this blog highlights, the most important consideration when choosing between bubble or foam to protect your products is to select the right protective material for the right purpose.
