Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right bubble roll for my needs?

  When choosing bubble rolls for your application, consider the fragility, shipping conditions, and weight of your item. It is also helpful to understand the actual characteristics of the bubble roll you are choosing. Larger bubbles generally provide more cushioning for heavier items, while smaller bubbles offer better shock absorption for delicate items, and can be more effective in preventing punctures. To understand bubble sizes with an analogy, the 3/16" bubbles are about the size of a Dime and 1/2" bubbles are about the size of a Quarter.
