How it works
Each item's surface area is multiplied by the number of layers, plus an overlap so the wrap closes properly. For irregular shapes, measure the smallest box the item fits in.
Frequently asked questions
How many layers of bubble wrap do I need?
One layer is enough for sturdy items. Use two or three layers for glass, electronics and anything fragile.
Which bubble size is better?
Small bubbles (about 10 mm) protect surfaces from scratches. Large bubbles (about 25 mm) cushion heavier items.
