Bubble Wrap Packaging, also known as Bubble Roll or Bubble Pack, is an impact packaging solution to ensure that fragile products are kept damage-free from impact during transportation. Easy to use with little to no training required, the Bubble Roll is a cost-effective and reusable tool wrapped around the product with the air-filled bubble pack facing the inside to ensure that products remain in place.

Bubble Wrap Packaging is made from small beads of resin, similar to rice or pea gravel. These resins are usually in polyethene material and then poured into an extruder with a high temperature of 450ºC to 500°C, which is essential for converting the resin into films. The films then pass through a series of rollers to achieve the desired thickness, then through a cylinder designed with numerous tiny denting holes to give the film its “bubble” shape. Finally, the film enters a final series of rollers for cooling and creating bonds with multiple layers.

Stream Peak offers a range of Bubble Wrap Packaging other than the typical standard Bubble Wrap. These Bubble Rolls are made with different properties, suitable for various applications. Bubbles Packs of different sizes for varying degrees of packaging protection. These bubbles are available in 6mm, 10mm, 25mm and 30mm.

Metallised Foil Bubble Roll

The Metallised Foil Bubble Roll is laminated with a sheet of foil to offer temperature-controlled packaging. Lightweight and water-resistant, the Metallised Foil Bubble Roll is not only capable of providing a protective solution to products, but its temperature-controlled characteristics also make the wrap a cost-effective choice that offers optimal atmospheric conditions to keep products colder and warmer for a more extended period during transit.

Kraft Paper Bubble Roll

The Kraft Paper Bubble Roll is a bubble wrap sheet incorporated with sturdy kraft paper to give it its strong and durable exterior. In various sizes for different product applications, the Kraft Paper Bubble Roll can be used to protect fragile products and heavy-duty products such as wooden furniture. The bubble roll can be used to ensure floor surfaces are free from scratches caused by the moving of heavy-duty products.

Foam-Backed Bubble Roll

The Foam-Backed Bubble Roll is designed with a layer of foam on one side of the bubble roll sheet to provide extra cushioning and protection to products. During transit, products may move around in the container. The Foam-Backed Bubble Roll is capable of adsorbing light impact, making it the ideal solution for these products. Foam-Backed Bubble Roll is also commonly used for products with a sensitive finish such as stone or high gloss paint.

Anti-Static Bubble Roll

During the transportation of electronic products using regular plastic Bubble Wraps, static displacement occurs which causes static shocks known as electrostatic discharge (ESD) to the mentioned products. However, with the Anti-Static Bubble Roll, users can prevent damage caused by ESD to ensure that products are safe. The Anti-Static Bubble Wrap is ideal for electronic gadgets such as laptops and smartphones, and heavy machinery. It also comes in pink to allow easy identification.

Self-Adhesive Bubble Roll

Like the standard bubble pack, the Self-Adhesive Bubble Roll comes with an additional feature, the adhesive layer, to allow the bubble wrap to remain intact on products with sensitive surfaces such as glass and flat-screen TVs. Eliminating the need for double-sided tape, the Self-Adhesive Bubble Roll also allows easy removal, ensuring that products are marking-free.
