Duck Brand Bubble Cushioning Wrap (small and large bubble)
Keep two bubble sizes if you ship varied items: small bubble conforms around shapes and fills gaps; large bubble is for heavier pieces. Duck's 12 in perforations make portions consistent.

Analysis
How much to buy (estimate)
Wrapping a 6 × 6 × 6 in item twice around takes about 4 ft of 12 in wrap. A 150 ft roll covers roughly 35 such items. Assumption: two wraps, 2 in overlap.
Compatibility notes and common mistakes
Duck recommends wrapping bubble side in.
- Wrapping bubble side out.
Alternatives
