Since bubble roll was invented in 1960, it’s been one of the best options for shipping materials worldwide. Bubble roll is a light, durable and versatile packing material that was first used to ship IBM’s original mass-produced computers. Its history has only gotten more prominent since then. The advantages of bubble roll are innumerable, but here are six of the essential ones that continue to make bubble roll a favourite.

Bubble roll is an incredible insulator against impacts
Bubble roll is extremely good at its primary function: to keep goods secure and safe during transit. Freight transit often includes rough handling or bumps. Hence, shippers shield their goods with bubble rolls. Its sealed air bubbles provide a flexible but enduring cushion that forms a sturdy barrier against impacts. It can shield goods from severe impacts when doubled or tripled up in layers and combined with a sturdy corrugated shipping box.

Bubble roll is reusable
When you’re done with your bubble roll, there is no need to throw it away. The best part is bubble roll can almost always be reused unless it’s been greatly damaged. As long as most of its bubbles are intact, you can use your bubble roll, over and over again, to shield your most valuable goods in transit. Hence, this makes bubble roll a much more eco-friendly option compared to some other types of packaging that are hard to reuse, and it can also offer cost savings. It’s also great for businesses that offer easy customer returns, as it’s simple to set up as part of a ready-to-go returns box.

Bubble roll is lightweight
Bubble roll is one of the lightest void-fill packaging materials. Its structure mainly comprises air, with a few layers of ultra-lightweight plastic for durability. That makes a highly light packaging material that can significantly save shipping costs, especially if you’re shipping in bulk. Less packaging leads to lower costs when shipping by weight and potentially lower fuel costs when shipping significant amounts of goods.

Bubble roll is cost-effective
Bubble roll isn’t just reusable—it’s also a better option, to begin with. Businesses that ship a lot of individual goods should also look into individual bubble roll bags—bubble roll and a bag, all in one!

Bubble roll is versatile
Bubble roll can protect and guard almost any kind of small cargo. It can easily be cut with scissors into almost any form you need, and large sheets of it are malleable enough to roll and protect many kinds of oddly-shaped cargo effectively. Its applications outside shipping are broad as well. Sometimes, it is even used to insulate their windows in the summer. With a touch of creativity, the possibilities are almost endless!

Bubble roll is a great stress reliever
Bubble roll can also act as a stress buster, and keeping a little bit of it lying around can provide excellent stress relief. Moreover, customers love it too since, for many, it’s a nice extra thing that they can either reuse or pop to their heart’s content.
