Air Bubble Film is a cushioning packaging material made from low-density polyethylene (LDPE), with uniformly distributed small air bubbles on its surface. It is lightweight, shock-absorbing, moisture-proof, and pressure-resistant. In foreign trade, it is commonly used for the transport packaging of fragile items, electronic products, precision instruments, glassware, etc., as an inner lining or filling material to reduce the risk of damage during transportation. Usage scenarios include: wrapping products when packing export goods, filling gaps inside boxes, and making composite packaging (such as bubble bags and bubble envelopes). Precautions: Select bubble diameter (common sizes: 10mm, 20mm, 30mm) and thickness according to product weight and transport distance; avoid direct contact with sharp objects; pay attention to environmental requirements, as some countries (such as the EU) have recycling or biodegradable regulations for plastic packaging. Differences from other terms: Compared with EPE (Expanded Polyethylene), Air Bubble Film is thinner and lighter but has slightly lower cushioning performance; compared with EPS (Expanded Polystyrene), Air Bubble Film is more flexible and less prone to breaking. In foreign trade documents, it is often expressed as 'Air Bubble Film' or 'Bubble Wrap'; specific specifications and gram weight must be confirmed with the customer.
📝 Examples
1. Please use double-layer Air Bubble Film to wrap this batch of glass cups and fill the outer carton with Air Bubble Film to ensure safety during long-distance sea transportation. (Note: Specify the use of Air Bubble Film as cushioning material in packaging requirements.)
2. Our quotation includes the cost of Air Bubble Film packaging, but if you need a thickened type (30mm bubbles), an additional USD 2 per carton will be charged. (Note: Mention the impact of Air Bubble Film specifications on price in quotation and cost communication.)
