What makes corrugated bubble more sustainable than traditional plastic bubble wrap®?

Our corrugated alternative to bubble wrap® is made with upcycled corrugate - scraps from our corrugated box manufacturing line. The material is 100% recycled and made with 95% post-consumer waste. It is also curbside recyclable and naturally biodegradable.

Traditional bubble wrap® is almost always made with virgin plastic. While it is typically thin film recyclable, it is not curbside recyclable. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, our corrugated alternative to bubble wrap® is perfectly sized for your needs and allows you to cushion and protect your good without shipping excess air and material.

Does EcoEnclose offer any additional eco-friendly alternatives to bubble wrap®?

Yes - our corrugated alternative to bubble wrap® is one of several void fill alternatives we offer, all of which are plastic-free, curbside recyclable alternatives to traditional plastic bubble. Corrugated bubble is one of our favorites because it is both upcycled and recycled. But we stand behind all of our eco-friendly void fill options. Our Guide to Protective Packaging discusses these in more detail.

Is corrugated bubble returnable?

Corrugated bubble is a custom-sized corrugated product, so they are not returnable. If you have issues with your corrugated bubble, contact us, and we will work towards a resolution.

How can I use corrugated bubble in my packaging strategy?

This product can be used as a plastic-free replacement for almost any situation you might consider using bubble wrap®! But we believe corrugated bubble is even more versatile. Not only does it replace traditional plastic bubble, it can also replace air pillows and packaging peanuts - two other void fill options that are typically virgin and lead brands to ship excessive amounts of air.

To replace air pillows or packaging peanuts, create a ball out of corrugated bubble. Stretch the corrugated bubble and crumple it up to make “corrugated nests” to use as cushioning under your product.

To replace bubble wrap®, use one of these two methods. Wrap your fragile products in appropriately-sized corrugated bubble before placing them inside your box.

Alternatively, order corrugated bubble that fits your box perfectly and use it as a soft pad to line the bottom or top of your shipping box.

What's the difference between the three thicknesses of corrugated bubble?

We offer corrugated bubble in ¼”, ½” and ¾” thicknesses. The thinnest option is ¼” and is made with one sheet of C flute corrugated. The ½” option is made with two sheets of corrugated board shredded together, and the ¾” option is made with three sheets of corrugated board.

Use thicker options when you need more cushioning and padding in your shipping box. If you’re not sure which option to choose, order free samples to help you experience the differences between them firsthand.
