Bubble film helps protect fragile goods in a parcel. This guide explains how to choose and use AirWave film, whose sections are inflated on an AirBoy or AirWave machine during packing. The comparison table and linked product pages below provide further details.

How to choose the film
- Wrapping items (glass, electronics, cosmetics): small sections 9.7.1 (100×210 mm) or 7.4S (130×280 mm).
- Filling voids (e-commerce, moving): large sections 8.3 (420×320 mm) or 8.3 XL (600×320 mm).
- Equipment. Rolls 9.7.1 and 9.8.3 fit the compact AirBoy Nano 4. Whether a machine pays off at your volume is calculated in AirWave air cushion machine: when it pays off.
- Plastic-free: bubble paper roll 29 cm × 10 m, 395×290 mm sheets and PaperWave Bio.

Frequently asked questions
Which film thickness should I choose?
The AirWave rolls listed in the table are 20 µm HDPE. Protection depends more on section size than thickness: small sections (100×210, 130×280 mm) wrap the item, large ones (420×320, 600×320 mm) fill voids in the box.
How many layers do I need for glass?
Wrap glass, ceramics and mirrors so the item does not touch the box walls. Choose the number of layers according to the item’s fragility, weight and shape; two turns are not a universally sufficient level of protection; fill the rest with large sections. Shake the box after packing: nothing should move.
Perforated or not?
Perforation between sections lets you tear off exactly what you need without scissors. Every AirWave roll in the table is perforated.
Bubble wrap or bubble paper?
For plastic-free packaging choose Bubble Paper made of kraft paper. AirWave film is lighter and fills large voids better, and its HDPE material is recyclable.
How much film do I need for a house move?
It depends on your belongings, so count by item: wrap one typical item, measure the length used and multiply. For voids in boxes, large sections are more practical.
