Which Side of bubble Goes Inside? How to Use bubble

bubble Supplier Grand Rapids, MI

While most of us are familiar with bubble, it’s important to know how to use it properly so it’ll protect fragile items during shipping. As a protective bubble manufacturer, we make it our mission to help companies find the right packaging materials so their products arrive intact at their destinations. Continue reading to learn what side of bubble goes inside, how to layer an object, and a few other important tips of information you may need to know. 

Which Side of bubble Touches the Object?

The bubbles should be facing your object to provide the ultimate protection. This is especially true for fragile items during shipping. Not only will the bubbles help keep your items safe, but this method also helps keep the bubbles safe. The thin shield that the bubbles are attached to works as a layering mask to protect the bubbles from bumps and box edges so that while your product is in transit all the pockets of air will stay intact. This creates a cushioning effect so that whatever you have wrapped in bubble sheet, be it electronics or dishware, stays safe.

How to Use bubble

Do you know the right way to use bubble for your business? Follow our step-by-step instructions below to get started. For more information on shipping fragile items, be sure to check out our blog post on How to Protect Fragile Items With bubble.

  1. Wrap your item on a flat clean surface. Remember bubbles should touch your item. 
  2. Lay your bubbleped item inside your box on a layer of bubble with the bubble side facing up.
  3. Generously surround the item with extra bubble.
  4. Gently close and seal the box for shipping.

Wrap Item on Flat Clean Surface Notes

Find a flat clean surface to package items for shipping. Make sure you have plenty of space for the items you wish to ship and your packaging materials, such as bubble rolls. Make sure you have plenty of space to fold, tape, and secure your object without having to constantly move desk wear or countertop decorations. 

Lay bubble so Bubble Side Faces Up Notes

Make sure you lay the protective bubble so the bubble side is facing up. That way, the pockets of air will be able to do their job and protect your fragile items during shipping. If the bubbles are facing out, they’re more likely to be popped during shipping. This defeats the purpose of using bubble and other packaging materials in the first place.

Generously Surround Item with bubble Notes

Don’t skimp on using bubble for your products. Customers (or family members!) get upset when they wait days (or weeks) for packages to arrive, only to realize the items inside are broken. Not only will you have more customers calling to ask about your return policy, but it’ll hurt your brand in the long run.

To fully protect your items during shipping, you’ll most likely need more than one packing material. For example, while small bubble can protect a TV screen from being scratched, you may also need a foam product to help prevent impact damage. This helps ensure that the TV won’t get damaged during shipping if the package is dropped or jostled. Once you’ve wrapped your item in sufficient wrapping materials, you’ll have fewer things to worry about and more happy customers.
