Bubble Wrap cushioning
48
Cushioning methods Bubble wrap
Bubble wrap is a
z light and flexible packaging material made of
low-density polyethylene
z ideal to protect fragile and irregularly shaped
products.
z This gives a very good surface protection
and prevention against shocks.
z Bubble wrap can also be used as void filling.
