Choose the thickness of Bubble Film, need to be based on product characteristics, transportation environment, budget and other factors comprehensive consideration, the following are the specific points:

Product characteristics

Product weight: Heavier products, such as large mechanical parts, home appliances, etc., in the process of handling and transportation will produce greater pressure and impact, need to choose a larger thickness of the bubble film to provide sufficient buffer protection, generally can choose 3-6mm thickness of the bubble film. For lighter products, such as small electronic products, stationery, etc., the use of 1-3mm Thick Bubble Film can usually meet the buffer needs.

Product shape: Products with regular shape, such as square boxes, cylinders, etc., the choice of Bubble Film Thickness is relatively flexible. However, for products with irregular shapes, sharp corners or protruding parts, in order to prevent these parts from piercing the bubble film, it is necessary to choose a slightly thicker bubble film, such as 2-4mm thick bubble film, to ensure that the product is fully protected.

Product fragility: such as glass products, ceramic products and other fragile products, the buffer protection requirements are higher, should choose thicker, better buffer performance of the bubble film, it is recommended to choose 4-6mm thickness of the bubble film, in order to minimize the risk of breaking products during transportation. For ordinary products that are not easy to break, you can choose a relatively Thin Bubble Film.

Transportation and storage environments

Transportation distance: If the product needs long-distance transportation, such as by sea, land transportation across multiple regions and even countries, in the transportation process may experience multiple loading and unloading, collision and vibration, in this case, in order to ensure product safety, should choose a larger thickness of the bubble film, such as 3-6mm thickness of the bubble film. For short-distance transportation products, due to the relatively low risk during transportation, you can choose a slightly thinner bubble film, such as 1-3mm thick bubble film.

Mode of transport: Different modes of transport have different requirements for product packaging. When using air transportation, although the transportation time is short, there are strict restrictions on the weight of the packaging, under the premise of ensuring product safety, you can choose a relatively thin but good buffer bubble film, such as 2-3mm thick bubble film. When using railway and road transportation, the product may be subjected to more vibration and collision, and it is generally recommended to choose 3-5mm thickness of bubble film.

Storage conditions: If the product needs to be stored in the warehouse for a long time, and the warehouse environment is more complex, there may be extrusion, friction, etc., in order to prevent the product from being damaged in the storage process, the thicker bubble film should be selected for packaging to provide better protection. If the storage environment is good, the requirements for the thickness of the bubble film are relatively low.

Cost and budget

Material cost: In general, the greater the thickness of the bubble film, the higher the cost. If the packaging budget is limited, on the basis of meeting the requirements of product protection, we should try to choose a moderate thickness and cost-effective bubble film. For some products with strict cost control, such as ordinary daily necessities, you can choose 2-3mm thick bubble film.

Long-term cost: In the long run, although the choice of thicker bubble film may be higher in a single packaging cost, but if you can effectively reduce the damage rate of the product, reduce the loss caused by product damage, then from the overall cost perspective, it may be more cost-effective. For high-value, easily damaged products, even if the packaging cost is high, you should choose a sufficient thickness of bubble film to ensure product safety.

Packaging effect and customer needs

Appearance requirements: If the product has certain requirements for the appearance of the packaging, and hopes that the packaging looks simple and beautiful, then you can choose a relatively thin bubble film, because the thinner bubble film is relatively flat and more fit to the product after packaging, and will not make the packaging appear too bloated. For some packaging that does not have high appearance requirements and is mainly based on protecting products, the appropriate thickness of bubble film can be selected according to actual needs.

Customer expectations: It is also important to understand the specific requirements and expectations of customers for packaging. If the customer has high requirements for the buffer performance of the product packaging, or is very concerned about the safety of the product during transportation, then it is necessary to choose a larger thickness and better protection performance of the bubble film to meet customer needs.
