Bubble Wrap Bags

Bubble wrap bags, also called bubble bags, are used for protecting both delicate or fragile items during shipping, storage and handling. These pre-formed pouches combine the cushioning benefits of bubble wrap with the convenience of a bag, making them ideal for safely packaging items such as electronics, jewellery, glassware and cosmetics.

Bubble bags provide a quick and efficient way to protect products from impacts, scratches and other potential damage.

Bubble bags work by combining the cushioning protection of bubble wrap with the convenience of a pre-formed pouch. Each bag features air-filled bubbles that create a protective barrier around the enclosed item, absorbing shocks and impacts during shipping or handling. The sealed edges of the bag ensure that the item remains securely inside, while the air bubbles prevent scratches, dents and breakage.

These bags are easy to use—simply insert the item into the bag and seal it. This design offers quick, efficient protection for fragile items without the need for additional wrapping materials.

At Macfarlane Packaging, our bubble bags include a handy peel and stick strip for easy closure and many options contain at least 30% recycled content! They’re also laminated for extra strength.

Bubble wrap bags come in lots of different sizes.

At Macfarlane Packaging, we provide over 10 different sizes. We have a Standard AirCap ® range that goes from 100 x 135 mm up to 380 x 435mm. We also have an Anti-Static AirCap ®range of bubble bags, which ranges from 100 x 135 up to 900 x 900 mm.

Bubble wrap bags can’t be recycled at home but can be recycled industrially.

Check with your Recycling Service Provider or Local Authority: Some recycling service providers accept bubble wrap for recycling. However, not all facilities can process it, so it’s essential to check with your recycling service provider to confirm their policies and guidelines.

Separate Bubble Wrap from Other Materials: Before recycling, make sure to separate the bubble wrap from any other materials, such as paper or cardboard backing boards or labels, as mixed materials can complicate the recycling process.

Bubble wrap bags are robust. If recycling is not feasible and they are still in good condition, consider reusing the bubble wrap bags to reduce their environmental impact.

If you’re packing a range of fragile or breakable items, our bubble wrap rolls are a great choice. They come in small and large bubble sizes, as well as different with and length rolls. You can cut to size the amount you need, giving you the flexibility to package a variety of products.

For smaller items like components, small parts or delicate items like jewellery, our bubble bags are a good option. All our bubble bags have a handy peel and stick closure. If you’re shipping electrical components that need to be protected from electrostatic charges, our anti-static bubble bags are ideal.
