Frequently Asked Questions
We've gone through some frequently asked questions on bubble wrap below.
Our bubble wrapping guide answers more questions, from what bubble wrap is made from to how many layers you should use for protection.
We also explore whether air filled bubble wrap is reusable, where you can recycle it in the UK, where to buy bubble wrap, and more.
Which Side of Bubble Wrap Goes Inside?
For maximum protection, the bubble side should face inward, directly against the item you are wrapping. This ensures that the bubbles absorb impact and cushion the product effectively, while the smooth outer layer provides a protective barrier against dust, dirt, and minor abrasions.
Can Bubble Wrap Be Recycled in the UK?
Yes, but not through standard household recycling bins. Most bubble wrap is made from low-density polyethylene or polycarbonate, which are recyclable at supermarkets and designated recycling centres.
