What is Bubble-On-Demand?
In 2019, virtually any company that sells goods can (and does) sell online — the packaging space has never been bigger or more exciting.
It also lends itself to logistical issues, including but not limited to warehouse space. As packaging needs continue to grow, so does the need for organized distribution centers and supply chains to keep up with demand.
One great packaging technology to address the spacial issue seen by many organizations is Bubble-On-Demand. Also called inflatable packaging, it is a form of bubble packaging that is inflated when needed, allowing warehouses and distribution centers to keep bundles of bubble rolls off the floor, but still reap the benefits of bubble protection.
How it Works
It’s so simple, you wish you’d have thought of it.
The “bubble” comes in deflated rolls of plastic which can be easily organized, stacked, and stored. Once the bubble is needed, the plastic rolls are loaded into a small machine that inflates the sheets with air – and VOILA! Bubble wrap comes out the other end. These machines are easy to use and don’t take up much space. They break down when not in use for added room on the warehouse floor.
Quick Stats: 1 pallet of 60 rolls of Bubble-On-Demand is equivalent to a full truckload of traditional bubble.

Benefits of Bubble-On-Demand
- Space saving: Instead of keeping huge rolls and bundles of traditional bubble wrap on the floor, Bubble-On-Demand rolls come in boxes which can be stored nearly anywhere in the facility
- Efficient applications: One person can operate the machine, and quickly create bubble wrap as needed.
- Waste-reducing: The rolls come in various perforated lengths, so the operator knows exactly how much to use per package without waste.
- Effective protection: There’s a reason why bubble continues to be so popular in packaging: It works. Bubble-On-Demand is one of the safest ways to wrap and protect inner packaging.
Inflatable packaging comes in dozens of options, and can be customized for every business. It is not limited to “bubble” style; air pillows and void fill are very popular forms of bubble-on-demand. There are different gauges, strengths, colors, and performance levels to fit shipping cycle needs.
Worried about the sustainability of plastic bubble? Bubble-on-demand and other inflatable packaging comes in biodegradable and recyclable options so you can feel good about the packaging you use. It includes an organic bio-additive to accelerate film breakdown and decrease carbon footprint.
