Take the stress out of moving and reduce plastic waste with a new range of eco-friendly paper bubble wrap
Take the stress out of moving and reduce plastic waste with a new range of eco-friendly paper bubble wrap

Whether by choice or by circumstance, the average renter in Australia will move every 1.8 years, sometimes living in three different homes over the space of five years. That’s a lot of moving boxes and packing tape!

To help with all that packing we’re excited to add a new kerbside recyclable packaging solution to our range. Wrap & Move Paper Bubble Wrap offers an alternative to traditional plastic bubble wrap, with all of the same benefits – and a few extra ones. 

It’s especially helpful for renters, who might want to ensure their prized possessions stay intact during transport, without the guilt of contributing wads of plastic packaging to landfill in the process. This is the future of packaging, with some credentials on the side.

All wrapped up

The new paper bubble wrap range from Wrap & Move made in Australia from FSC® certified and other controlled materials, supporting responsible forestry practices that protect forests, wildlife and people. It is a flexible and durable wrapping option that can also scrunch, fold and stuff to meet all your moving needs.

Each sheet of Paper Bubble Wrap provides superb cushioning and shock absorption, keeping your breakables protected and in one piece.

There are two paper widths to choose from – 375 millimetres for small items like glassware, plates and ornaments, and 750 millimetres for larger vases, mirrors or lamps. And each option comes in a 25 metre roll, to ensure no fragile keepsake gets left behind.

The benefits of paper

Wrap & Move Paper Bubble Wrap is an excellent alternative to traditional plastic bubble wrap for a number of reasons. It protects fragile items and absorbs the force of bumps during transport, keeping your items safe and secure, as well as being strong, flexible and reusable.

Because it’s made from paper, it’s easy to tear to size – no scissors required. Then once you’re finished using it, simply dispose of it in your kerbside recycling bin.

Best of all, the price of paper bubble wrap is similar to plastic, making it an economical cost that won’t place a strain on your moving costs.
