Packaging is essential for protecting and marketing products. Along with offering increased protection from the elements, packaging enhances the appearance of the products as well. Known for being affordable and eco-friendly, bubble wrap packaging is a preferred choice when transporting and shipping a variety of products. However, many companies have tried amplifying traditional bubble wrap over the years to make it far more proficient. The result of one such effort is barrier bubble technology. Here’s a closer look at why barrier bubble technology is the better value for packaging.
What Exactly Is Barrier Bubble Technology?
Barrier bubble technology is a revolutionized version of the traditional biodegradable bubble wrap. This packaging provides a better cushioning effect to the products without costing tons of money. Created and patented by Sealed Air, this product is made using 50 percent of pre-consumer recycled material, making it an eco-friendly bubble wrap.
The wrap consists of a sealed air barrier bubble that helps retain the air within the bubble wrap and provides a continuous cushioning thickness to the product. On the other hand, traditional bubble wraps come without a barrier, so these packaging solutions don’t last a long time.
Here are some benefits of using barrier bubble technology.
- Better Cushioning
As already mentioned, barrier bubble technology comes with more thickness and fullness compared to other traditional bubble wraps, eventually providing 30 percent better protection.
- More Effective Protection
The air retention barrier seal helps maintain a consistent cushioning effect throughout the transport or shipping cycle. In other words, shipped products will always stay protected.
- Fewer Costs
Surprisingly, less material is required to create the protected packaging compared to non-barrier bubble wraps. Accordingly, the overall costs of producing and eventually buying the product are much lower than traditional bubble wrap packaging.
- Reduces Damage to The Products
The bubble wrap cushioning also protects the product from the impacts caused during transportation. In this way, products are more likely to reach customers in their original form instead of being damaged upon arrival.
- More Environmentally Friendly
Another key benefit of this product is that it is far more environmentally friendly compared to the traditional product. Firstly, since it comes with an added layer of cushioning, it does not need additional packaging material such as loose fill or paper to fill the gaps in the packaging box. This way, less material is used to package a particular product. On the other hand, it is also far more durable, so it can be used multiple times. Finally, it is made using recyclable materials, which means it does not have to end in a landfill.
Conclusion
Bubble wrap packaging is a popular method of transporting and shipping different kinds of products from one place to another. The barrier bubble technology, in particular, has made this traditional form of packaging far more efficient and competent.
