With most things that you need to protect, whether it is for moving home or office, or for storage or shipping things in the post, then a single layer of bubble wrap for moving should be enough for the maximum amount of protection from damage. But in some circumstances, a double or even triple layer of bubble wrap for packing can be needed, and it is important to know when these are, because otherwise you risk damage occurring even though you have taken protective measures. So when do you need a double layer of bubble wrap?
- When you are protecting the heaviest of items, you will need a double layer at least of high-quality bubble wrap. The reason for this is because the heavier than an item is, the harder it will fall if it is dropped on the floor accidentally. It will need more cushioning from the blow, and a double layer will provide that extra cushioning required ensuring that the item remains safe. If just a single layer of bubble wrap online was put around a really heavy item, then the bubbles would pop too easily, and damage would happen.
- When you are protecting the most delicate of things from your home, it is also important to put a double layer around your things. The reason being because if an item is extremely delicate, like an ornament, then even the tiniest of blows will cause a lot of damage to your item. If you put a double layer of protection around it, then the ornament will not feel a thing, and will remain in excellent condition no matter what happens.
- For really long or big items, such as mattresses or furniture, then a double layer can be a good idea too. The reason being because the larger the surface area, the more likely that the bubble wrap is to get caught onto something else and tear. If it is torn, then it will not be able to protect any longer, but if you have another layer of bubble wrap below the tear, then it will continue to protect your things to the maximum amount. Although our bubble wrap is the strongest and most durable you can buy, this is always a risk that needs to be thought about and solved, and a double layer is the solution.
