Bubble Wrap

Compare bubble wrap rolls by cell size, web width, nominal length and the supplied number of rolls. Small- and large-cell formats are different cushioning specifications; a longer roll does not establish equivalent protection. The selected formats below keep unresolved specifications visible.

The 3/16-inch adhesive example and 1/2-inch clear example are useful starting points for small- and large-bubble requirements, respectively. Keep the adhesive requirement explicit. Test contact with the actual product surface before choosing an adhesive wrap.

BOX Partners explicitly lists BWUP12S12 at 12-inch width, 125-foot length and four rolls per bundle. Its nonperforated format is specified in the supplier table below; those facts come from the exact row rather than a SKU-name inference. The BD1224 listing establishes 24-inch width and 50-foot length, but its cell size needs confirmation.

Measure your approved cut length, number of layers, trimming and material used on representative shipments. Required rolls = round up(required nominal feet ÷ nominal feet per roll), after including your observed waste. Confirm rolls per purchase unit before converting rolls to cases.

Comparing a Uline bubble-wrap reorder

A Uline bubble-wrap order can specify a single roll with or without perforations. Keep that distinction when comparing it with a four-roll Packrift purchase. The two Uline models below share their nominal size and material, but their dispensing formats differ.

For an approved 500-linear-foot requirement, four 125-foot Uline rolls or one four-roll BWUP12S12 unit supply the nominal footage. Uline specifies polyethylene/nylon for these models; BWUP12S12 is listed as polyethylene. Nylon content and equivalent cushioning performance have not been established for the Packrift option. Confirm the required grade and packing method before switching.

The current BOX Partners table explicitly places BWUP12S12 under Non-Perforated Rolls with a 12-inch width, 125-foot length and four rolls per bundle. Those dimensions yield 500 nominal square feet for the bundle. Packrift product fields still contain conflicting width and coverage information; this comparison uses the original supplier’s explicit dimensions. Confirm the required material grade and delivered order before replacing an approved Uline model.

Uline specifications reviewed October 3, 2026: Uline S-3223, Uline S-3223P. Use the current model page when reordering; the comparison establishes listed differences rather than equal performance.

Bubble-roll width, perforation and nominal area

BWUP12S12 is explicitly listed by BOX Partners as a nonperforated roll: 1/2-inch bubble height, 12-inch width, 125 feet per roll and four rolls per bundle. At one-foot width, each roll contains 125 nominal square feet; the four-roll bundle contains 500.

Uline S-3223 shares the listed bubble height, width, roll length and nonperforated format, but is sold one roll at a time and specifies polyethylene/nylon material. BWUP12S12 is listed as polyethylene; its nylon content, barrier grade and equal cushioning performance are unverified. Keep those differences in a supplier change. Uline S-3223P has perforations every 12 inches and is a different dispensing requirement.
