Corrugated Bubble Wrap Packaging
What Is Corrugated Bubble Wrap?
Corrugated bubble wrap is a plastic-free, biodegradable alternative to traditional bubble wrap, made by shredding or perforating corrugated cardboard into a flexible, cushiony structure. The unique zigzag pattern mimics the shock-absorbing quality of bubble wrap while being completely recyclable and compostable.
It’s a sustainable solution for protecting products during shipping, without the guilt of using plastic.
How Is It Made?
Corrugated bubble wrap is created by repurposing post-consumer or post-industrial corrugated cardboard. It’s either shredded into wavy strips or perforated into a honeycomb-like sheet that stretches and wraps around products. No adhesives, coatings, or synthetic materials are added, just cleverly engineered paper fiber doing the work.
The result is a protective, breathable wrap that conforms around items just like traditional bubble wrap but can be recycled or composted after use.
Why Does It Matter?
Corrugated bubble wrap helps tackle two major packaging issues: plastic waste and cardboard disposal. By reusing discarded cardboard and avoiding new plastic production, it reduces waste on both ends. It’s easy to recycle, safe to compost, and strong enough to protect products during transit, making it perfect for brands that want eco-conscious protection that actually works.
It shows customers that your brand thinks beyond the product, and cares about what it's wrapped in too.
