Plastic and bubble bags: traditional and their eco-friendly alternatives

Plastic bags are versatile packaging and have numerous uses. Bubble bags are particularly useful for protecting shipments from damage. Like other packaging, plastic pouches, including bubble pouches, come in an eco-friendly version – i.e. recycled.

Bubble bags have many uses. They will come in handy in practically every online shop and warehouse. They are mainly used for packing small and fragile items, as well as electronics. Bubble envelopes, which have an inner layer lined with bubble foil, are also available for sale. Thanks to the densely distributed air bubbles, the consignment is protected against impacts, bruises and falls. In addition, the bubbles also protect against moisture. The bags are flexible, so they can be used to protect items of different shapes. They come in many sizes, from tiny to sizable. The size of the bubble bag can be perfectly matched to the contents. You can choose between traditional bubble wrap pouches and their eco-friendly version.

The applications of bubble wrap are truly numerous. It is not only used for packing parcels and as a filler for packages. It can also be used as thermal insulation (to protect cracks in windows or car windows from freezing), to support knees when gardening, and for stress relief. Human ingenuity knows no bounds. Bubble wrap has gained worldwide recognition for its useful properties. So much so that the last Monday in January is Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day!

Bubble bags

RAJA offers regular economy bubble wrap bags as well as those with a self-adhesive closure. The economy bags are available in 8 variants and the latter in as many as 21. The bags are light, but at the same time they protect the parcel very well thanks to protective air-filled bubbles. Their interior is smooth, so inserting and removing items is easy. The adhesive strip is also self-sealing. In the economy version, they can be sealed with self-adhesive tape or a heat sealer.

Ecological bubble bags

The eco-friendly version of the bubble bags is made of three-layer 70 micron polyethylene film, which is up to 50% recycled. Like traditional foil pouches, they have an adhesive tape for sealing. They are available in 14 variants. They protect the contents equally well against shocks and impacts.

The RAJA range also includes larger plastic bags made from 100% recycled polyethylene.

If there is a possibility, it is always worth choosing an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional packaging. By doing so, you can make a small but nevertheless important contribution to saving the planet. After all, recycled and recyclable packaging is not inferior to its traditional counterparts.
