What GSM means
GSM stands for grams per square metre. A 70 GSM roll uses more than twice the film of a 30 GSM roll of the same size. Thicker film makes bubbles that resist bursting and hold air longer.
Which GSM for which product
| GSM | Use for | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 30 | Light, low-risk items | Cosmetics, jewellery boxes, books, inner layers |
| 50 | Most fragile products | Phone accessories, small décor, plastic bottles |
| 70 | Glass, ceramic, heavy | Glass bottles, mugs, electronics, idols |
How many layers?
- Light items: one layer of 30 GSM.
- Medium items: two layers of 50 GSM.
- Glass and heavy items: two or three layers of 70 GSM, plus filler in the box.
Bubbles in or out?
Wrap with the bubbles facing the product. The flat side faces out, so bubbles aren't scraped and burst when the parcel slides.
One grade or three?
If you ship a mix of products, keeping 50 GSM as your main roll and one 70 GSM roll for glass is a sensible start. Compare prices in bubble wrap bulk price, and pair heavy items with a 7 ply box.
