Bubble Wrap in Singapore: Types at a Glance

The most common bubble wrap types in Singapore are: small bubble wrap rolls (10mm bubbles, for fragile lightweight items), large bubble wrap rolls (25mm bubbles, for heavier goods), anti-static bubble wrap (for electronics) and kraft paper bubble mailers (for courier envelopes). Prices range from S$5 to S$80 per roll depending on type and size.

 

What is bubble wrap and what is it used for?

Bubble wrap is a flexible plastic sheeting with evenly spaced air-filled bubbles that cushion products from impact and vibration. It is used in Singapore for protecting fragile items during shipping, courier delivery, house moves and storage. Each trapped air bubble absorbs shock, reducing the risk of breakage for items like glassware, ceramics, electronics and artwork.

Common uses in Singapore include: wrapping fragile e-commerce orders before placing them in a carton box or mailer, lining the inside of gift boxes, protecting glassware during a house move, covering screens and furniture during renovation, and padding individual items in a larger shipment.

The two key specifications to check when buying bubble wrap in Singapore are bubble size (how large each individual bubble is) and roll width. Bubble size determines cushioning depth; roll width determines how many wraps you get per turn around the product.

 

Small bubble wrap vs large bubble wrap: which should you choose?

Small bubble wrap (10mm / 3/8" bubbles) is better for lightweight fragile items like glasses, crockery and small accessories. Large bubble wrap (25mm / 1" bubbles) cushions heavier or bulkier items more effectively per layer. For general-purpose packing of most Singapore e-commerce orders, small bubble wrap (10mm) is the more versatile choice as it wraps closely around irregular shapes.

 

Where Can I Buy Bubble Wrap in Singapore?

You can buy bubble wrap in Singapore from MillionParcel, which carries multiple bubble wrap types with no minimum order and same-day or next-day local delivery. Other options include local packaging suppliers, hardware stores and online marketplaces such as Shopee and Lazada.

MillionParcel is a popular choice for Singapore e-commerce sellers and small businesses because there is no minimum order quantity. You can buy one roll without committing to a bulk purchase, which is great when you are just starting out. For large quantities (24 rolls and above), volume pricing is available. When comparing bulk prices, always check price per metre rather than price per roll, as roll lengths vary significantly between products.

For bubble mailers specifically, MillionParcel stocks kraft paper padded envelopes in multiple sizes suitable for all major Singapore courier services including Ninja Van, J&T Express, Lalamove and GrabExpress.

 

10 Types of Bubble Wrap Available in Singapore (2026)

Here is a full breakdown of each bubble wrap type available in Singapore in 2026, with specifications, best-use cases and buying information.

 

1. Small Bubble Wrap Roll (10mm Bubbles)

The most common bubble wrap type in Singapore. Small 10mm bubbles provide all-round cushioning for lightweight fragile items including glasses, crockery, LED lights, picture frames and small electronics. It wraps tightly around irregular shapes and can be layered easily for extra protection.

 

2. Large Bubble Wrap Roll (25mm Bubbles)

Large bubble wrap has 25mm (1-inch) diameter bubbles that provide more air volume and cushioning per layer. It is best for heavier or larger items like kitchen appliances, monitor screens, wine bottles and fragile furniture parts. One layer of large bubble wrap protects heavy items better than two layers of small bubble wrap.

 

3. Anti-Static Bubble Wrap (Pink)

Anti-static bubble wrap is a specialist type for electronics and electro-sensitive components. It is typically pink in colour and coated with a dissipative layer that prevents static charge build-up. A single electrostatic discharge (ESD) can permanently damage circuit boards, RAM modules and hard drives even without any visible impact - this is why anti-static packaging matters.

 

4. Perforated Bubble Wrap Roll

Perforated bubble wrap is pre-scored at regular intervals (typically every 300mm to 500mm) so it tears cleanly without scissors or cutters. This speeds up packing at fulfilment centres and warehouses significantly. The protection level is identical to a standard roll - perforations only change how you dispense it.

 

5. Bubble Wrap Bags / Self-Seal Pouches

Bubble wrap bags are pre-formed pouches with bubble wrap lining and a self-seal adhesive strip. They are faster than cutting from a roll: drop the item in, peel and seal. Common sizes run from A6 to A3. Popular with Shopee and Lazada sellers packing individual fragile orders and with retail counters packing items for customers to carry out.

 

6. Bubble Wrap Sheets (Pre-Cut)

Bubble wrap sheets are cut to standard dimensions (typically A4 or 300mm x 400mm) rather than supplied on a roll. They are convenient for retail packing counters and gift wrapping stations where staff wrap individual items on a flat surface without needing to unroll and cut. Place item, fold, tape - no roll management needed.

 

7. Kraft Paper Bubble Mailer (Padded Envelope)

Kraft paper bubble mailers are padded envelopes with a kraft paper outer shell and a bubble wrap inner lining. They protect jewellery, accessories and small electronics during courier delivery while being lighter and neater than loose bubble wrap. They are accepted by all major Singapore courier services and standard size (A5, A4) mailers are in stock with no MOQ at MillionParcel.

 

8. Double-Layer Bubble Wrap (Heavy-Duty)

Double-layer bubble wrap has two layers of bubble film laminated together, providing significantly more cushioning than a single layer. It is used for shipping very fragile or high-value items where breakage cannot be risked. Common applications include fine art, antiques, scientific instruments, glass display panels and high-end audio equipment.

 

9. Honeycomb Kraft Paper Cushioning (Eco Alternative)

For brands moving away from plastic bubble wrap, honeycomb kraft paper cushioning is the most popular eco-friendly alternative in Singapore in 2026. Made from recycled kraft paper in a die-cut honeycomb structure, it expands to provide cushioning comparable to small bubble wrap for lightweight fragile items. It is fully biodegradable, kerbside recyclable and FSC-certifiable.

 

10. Wide-Roll / Furniture-Grade Bubble Wrap (1000mm+)

Wide-roll bubble wrap (1000mm to 1500mm wide) is designed for protecting large items like furniture, glass panels, paintings and household appliances. A single 1000mm x 50m roll can cover a standard sofa or dining table twice. Moving companies and renovation contractors in Singapore commonly use these rolls as part of their standard packing kit.

 

How to Choose the Right Bubble Wrap in Singapore

Match bubble size to item weight: use 10mm small bubble wrap for fragile lightweight items, and 25mm large bubble wrap for heavier goods. Use anti-static bubble wrap for electronics. Use kraft paper bubble mailers for courier shipments to save packing time. Use honeycomb kraft paper if your brand has an eco packaging commitment.

• Lightweight fragile items (crockery, glassware, frames): Small bubble wrap 10mm, minimum 2 layers
• Heavy or large items (appliances, glass panels, furniture): Large bubble wrap 25mm or wide-roll furniture-grade
• Electronics or circuit boards: Anti-static bubble wrap (pink) to prevent ESD damage
• High-volume packing station: Perforated rolls or self-seal bubble bags for faster throughput
• Courier shipping of small or flat items: Kraft paper bubble mailer - neater, lighter, faster than loose wrap
• Eco packaging brand commitment: Honeycomb kraft paper cushioning as a biodegradable plastic alternative

 

Conclusion

Bubble wrap remains one of the most versatile and cost-effective protective packaging materials in Singapore in 2026. Whether you need small 10mm rolls for crockery, large 25mm rolls for appliances, pre-formed air bubble bags for quick packing, or kraft paper bubble mailers for courier dispatch, there is a cushioning format suited to every scenario.

What is a bubble mailer and how is it different from bubble wrap?

A bubble mailer is a ready-to-use padded envelope with bubble wrap already laminated inside. Unlike loose bubble wrap (which you cut and tape around the item), a bubble mailer is self-seal: drop the item in, peel the strip and close. Bubble mailers are lighter, neater and faster for courier shipping. They work best for flat or small compact items. For large or irregularly shaped items, loose bubble wrap remains the better option.

Can bubble wrap be used for food packaging in Singapore?

Standard bubble wrap is not food-safe and should not touch exposed food directly. For food packaging in Singapore, use food-grade PVC cling wrap, food-safe containers or certified food packaging materials. Bubble wrap is safe on the outside of sealed food packaging - for example, wrapping a sealed glass jar for shipping - but must not contact food surfaces directly.
