Bulk Bubble Wrap & Protective Packaging
Secure your shipments with our wholesale cushioning supplies. Find high-quality bubble wrap, foam rolls, and air pillows to protect your products from drop to delivery.
The Essential Layer of Product Defense
While a sturdy corrugated box is the first line of defense, what’s inside the box is just as important. Protective packaging is the critical cushioning that absorbs shock, prevents scratches, and immobilizes items to ensure they arrive in perfect condition. Effective cushioning is not just about filling empty space; it’s a core part of a smart shipping strategy that reduces damage-related costs and enhances customer satisfaction. Understanding the difference between various packaging supplies allows you to select the right material for each application. We offer a complete range of wholesale protective packaging to meet the demands of any fulfillment operation, helping you ship with confidence and efficiency.
Our Protective Packaging Selection
The right cushioning for every item, from fragile electronics to industrial parts.
Wholesale Bubble Wrap Rolls
Bubble wrap is the most recognized and versatile cushioning material available. Its air-filled bubbles provide excellent, lightweight protection against shock, vibration, and impact. Ideal for wrapping individual items, it conforms to any shape, ensuring a snug and secure layer of defense. We offer bubble wrap in various bubble sizes—small bubbles (3/16”) for surface protection and cushioning small items, and large bubbles (1/2”) for void fill and protecting larger, more robust products.
Our wholesale bubble wrap rolls are available in standard and anti-static varieties for protecting sensitive electronics. The rolls are perforated for easy tearing, which helps streamline your picking and packing solutions and reduce waste. Purchasing in bulk ensures your packing stations are always stocked with this essential material, preventing delays and maintaining a consistent, professional packaging standard. It is a cost-effective solution for businesses that ship a high volume of fragile goods.
Bulk Foam Rolls
When protecting items with delicate surfaces, foam rolls are the superior choice. Unlike bubble wrap, foam provides a soft, non-abrasive cushion that will not scratch or mark finished wood, glass, or polished metal. Made from low-density polyethylene, our foam rolls are lightweight, water-resistant, and provide clean, dust-free protection. This makes them perfect for furniture manufacturers, art galleries, and electronics companies.
Foam is also excellent for interleaving—placing a sheet between stacked items like plates or panels to prevent them from damaging each other in transit. Available in various thicknesses, you can select the right level of protection for your specific needs. Buying foam in bulk rolls is an economical way to safeguard your most sensitive products, ensuring they arrive at their destination in the same pristine condition they left your facility. Its flexibility and light weight also help keep shipping costs down.
Air Pillows for Shipping
For fast and efficient void fill, nothing beats air pillows. These inflatable cushions are composed of over 99% air, making them an incredibly lightweight and cost-effective solution for filling empty spaces in shipping boxes. By preventing items from shifting during transit, air pillows significantly reduce the risk of damage. They are the modern, clean alternative to packing peanuts and crumpled paper, offering superior protection with less material.
Air pillows are created on-demand by a small machine, which inflates flat rolls of film. This space-saving system eliminates the need to store bulky materials like peanuts or large paper rolls. It’s an ideal solution for high-volume shipping centers that need to optimize warehouse space and improve packing speed. Integrating an air pillow system is a key component of modern, efficient fulfillment and supports a faster, cleaner packing environment.

FAQs
Use small bubbles (3/16″ or 5/16″) for surface protection and wrapping smaller, delicate items. The smaller bubbles provide a denser cushion against scratches and minor impacts. Use large bubbles (1/2″) for filling empty space (void fill) in boxes and for cushioning larger, more durable items that need shock absorption over a wider surface area.
Choose foam rolls when protecting items with sensitive surfaces that could be scratched or marked. This includes furniture with a polished finish, glass, screens, and artwork. Foam is non-abrasive and provides a soft, clean layer of protection. Bubble wrap is better for general-purpose impact protection where surface scratching is not a primary concern.
Yes, for high-volume shippers, air pillows are extremely cost-effective. The primary savings come from storage space, as the uninflated rolls take up very little room. They are also incredibly lightweight, which can significantly reduce shipping costs compared to heavier void fill materials like paper. The on-demand system also reduces waste, as packers use only what they need.
