Why you should use Bubble Pouch Bags instead of Bubble Wrap? – Awesome Pack Packaging Guide
Although Bubble wrap is a popular packaging product used by online businesses to protect and cushion fragile items during shipping, the process of wrapping and taping can be troublesome and time consuming.
A Bubble Wrap alternative is to use the simple and effective Bubble Pouch Bags, they are just a bag/sleeve that you can pop your product straight in without the need of wrapping and although you still need to tape the opening but that is still much better than excessively taping around the product with plastic bubbles.
Bubble Pouch Bags are perfect packaging solution for businesses who sell small and fragile items like jewellery, small sized electronics, small arts and crafts. It offers Awesome Protection for your product within a cardboard box or mailer.
Key Benefits of using Bubble Pouch Bags compared to Bubble Wrap:
1. Saves you Time: No more wrapping excessive plastic bubbles around your product as using the Bubble Pouch you simply just pop it in.
2. Looks Better: A Bubble Pouch Bag that is taped on one end look a lot better than using your Tape dispenser going around the whole product and creating another layer of plastic on your product.
3. Less Plastic is used: A Bubble Pouch is one layer and minimal tape is required to hold the product in the pouch whereas using bubble wrap it is common to over wrap the product and excessive tape is generally used to hold everything in tact.
Disadvantages of using Bubble Pouch Bags instead of Bubble Wrap:
1. Doesn’t fit large bulky products: only certain sizes of Bubble Pouch Bags are available on the market so if your products are big it may or may not fit into the pouch bag. When finding the right size of bubble pouch bag make sure you consider the length, width and height of your product to ensure it is big enough to hold your product and also enough room to tape off the end.
2. Cost more than Bubble Wrap: given the time savings of using Bubble pouch bags they are often more expensive when comparing with Bubble wrap of a similar size.
