Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best protective packaging for fragile items? 

For fragile items, a good Bubble Wrap Roll is usually the best starting point, with small bubble wrap for delicate pieces and large bubble wrap for bigger or unboxed goods. Pairing it with void fill like packing peanuts or air pillows stops movement in transit and gives full protection.

What is the difference between small and large bubble wrap? 

Small bubble wrap has 10mm bubbles and is ideal for wrapping fragile or awkward items closely. Large bubble wrap has 20mm bubbles and offers heavier-duty cushioning for bigger or unboxed products.

Do you sell biodegradable or eco-friendly bubble wrap? 

Yes. Our biodegradable bubble wrap matches the performance of standard wrap while being fully biodegradable, so it is a great choice for businesses looking to reduce their environmental impact. We also stock biodegradable packing peanuts and recycled corrugated rolls.

What bubble wrap should I use for electronics? 

Anti-static bubble wrap is best for electronics, as it protects against knocks in transit while preventing the static damage that standard wrap can cause. It comes with a pink tint, so it is easy to tell apart from regular bubble wrap.

What is void fill and why do I need it? 

Void fill is the material used to fill empty space inside a box so items cannot move around during transit. Options like packing peanuts, air pillows, and polystyrene foam sheets absorb shock and stop damage caused by movement or knocks.

How do I protect furniture during a move or delivery? 

Laminated bubble wrap products such as Jiffy Furni-Guard, Jiffy Furni-Soft, and Furni-Master are designed for furniture. Furni-Soft has an extra anti-scratch layer, making it ideal for delicate or polished surfaces.

What is the best way to post posters, documents, or artwork? 

Cardboard postal tubes are the ideal choice, as they are strong, crush-resistant, and fitted with plastic end caps. They keep posters, charts, and documents flat and protected, and they are made in the UK from recycled materials.

When should I use bubble pouches instead of a bubble wrap roll? 

Bubble pouches are a great option when you do not need a full Bubble Wrap Roll. They are ready-made bags with a peel-and-seal strip for quick, secure closure, available in seven sizes, and perfect for smaller items.

Is your protective packaging recyclable? 

Yes. Much of our protective packaging is 100% recyclable, UK-made, and produced to high standards, with biodegradable and compostable options available across several product ranges.

How do edge and corner protectors help? 

Cardboard and foam edge and corner protectors improve load stability, absorb impacts, and guard vulnerable edges on pallets and boxed goods. Foam corners are especially useful for electronics, frames, and glass items.
