The latest bubble film

on October 21, 2024

There are significant differences between traditional bubble film and new bubble film in protection function, material innovation and environmental protection. The following is a comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the two.

 

Materials and construction

    Traditional bubble film is usually made of polyethylene material, filled with small bubbles, through the air shock protection products. The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, softness and lightness, and can effectively prevent the articles from being impacted by external forces during the transportation. New types of bubble film are innovative in materials and bubble design, such as the use of biodegradable materials, biopolymers or the addition of composite layer structure. Some of the new bubble film also uses a“Grid” or“Honeycomb” design to enhance the cushioning effect.

    Pros:Traditional bubble film production process mature, low price, suitable for large-scale packaging.

    New Bubble Film in the environmental performance is better, some new materials can be natural degradation, reduce the environmental impact of plastic waste.

    Cons:Traditional bubble film is petroleum-based plastic, difficult to recycle and decomposition, harmful to the environment.

    Although the new bubble film environmental protection, but the cost is high, the market acceptance may be limited by the price factor.

     

    Protective performance

      The protection effect of traditional bubble film mainly comes from the air inside the bubble, the bigger the bubble, the better the buffer effect. The utility model can effectively reduce the vibration and scratches of light or fragile goods during transportation. New types of bubble film are usually improved by improving the bubble structure, material density or multilayer design to improve protection, such as puncture resistance and tear resistance, for more complex transport requirements.

      Pros:Traditional bubble wrap provides effective protection for small or medium weight items.

      The new bubble wrap is more protective, not only to deal with vibration, but also to prevent puncture and tear.

      Cons:Traditional bubble film for heavy objects or sharp objects of limited protection, easy to be punctured or compressed.

      The new bubble wrap, while more protective, may increase the size and weight of transport packages.

       

      Environmental Protection

        The biggest disadvantage of traditional bubble film is its poor environmental protection. Due to the use of non-degradable polyethylene materials, it is difficult to be recycled, easy to cause plastic pollution. In recent years, with the promotion of environmental awareness, new bubble film materials in the field of innovation, many products using recyclable, biodegradable or bio-based materials to reduce the impact on the environment.

        Pros:The new bubble film performs better in environmental protection, reduces the burden on the environment and conforms to the trend of sustainable development.

        Cons:The use of traditional bubble film has been restricted under the increasingly stringent environmental regulations, especially in European and n markets.

        The production cost of the new bubble film is high, which leads to its market competitiveness is not as good as the traditional bubble film.

         

        User Experience

          The traditional bubble film is widely loved because of its“Decompression” experience, and it has become a familiar and favorite packaging material for many users. While the new bubble film is more powerful, but may be due to changes in the bubble structure, the loss of this“Decompression” feature, the user experience is slightly different.

          Pros:Traditional bubble film in the market has a wide range of user awareness and acceptance, simple operation.

          The new bubble film is more in line with the diversified needs of modern logistics packaging, providing a more personalized protection program.

          Cons:New bubble film due to material and design changes, the user's experience may not be as traditional bubble film as“Friendly.”

           

          Cost factors

            Traditional bubble film production costs are relatively low, suitable for large-scale use, especially for those cost-sensitive packaging enterprises. The price of new bubble film is usually higher than that of traditional bubble film because of different materials and production process.

            Pros:Traditional bubble film low price, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and short-distance logistics transport.

            Although the new bubble film cost higher, but in the long-term transport of goods protection effect is better, reducing the risk of goods damage and return.

            Cons:The price of the new bubble film is much higher than the traditional products, especially in batch use may increase the enterprise's packaging costs.

             

            Summary

            Traditional bubble film is widely used in the market because of its low cost, portability and good protective performance, but its non-degradability makes it face challenges in today's increasingly stringent environmental requirements. The new bubble film improves protection and reduces environmental impact through innovative materials and designs, but at a higher cost. Choosing the suitable bubble film type according to the specific demand can achieve the balance of environmental protection and economic benefits while ensuring the safety of articles.
