eComWrap™
- The Paper Bubble Wrap
Your bubble wrap alternatives for ecommerce packaging and replacing plastic in your packaging operations.
Your genuine alternative to bubble wrap, highly protective, fast to wrap, and made from biodegradable paper.
eComWrap™ is our hexagon paper wrap — a kerbside-recyclable, biodegradable alternative to plastic bubble wrap that provides comparable protection without the environmental impact. It comes in compact rolls that expand when stretched, creating a honeycomb structure that conforms around your product and absorbs shock in transit.
We stock eComWrap™ as part of our wider range of plastic-free packaging alternatives. It's available to order online for next day delivery, or as part of a trade or consignment stock arrangement for businesses using it at volume.

How eComWrap™ Works
eComWrap™ is simple to use and requires no specialist tools or training:
- Pull and stretch the roll to expand the hexagonal honeycomb cells
- Wrap your product — the structure conforms to the shape and holds itself in place
- Tuck the ends — no tape required in most applications, though paper tape can be used for extra security
The honeycomb structure creates an interlocking cushion that absorbs impacts and prevents movement inside the box. It works on irregularly shaped products, fragile items, and anything you'd normally wrap in plastic bubble wrap — glassware, ceramics, electronics, cosmetics, handcrafted goods.
eComWrap™ vs Plastic Bubble Wrap — What's the Difference?
| eComWrap™ | Plastic Bubble Wrap | |
|---|---|---|
| Material | 100% paper | LDPE plastic |
| Kerbside recyclable | ✓ Yes | ✗ No (supermarket soft plastic points only) |
| Biodegradable | ✓ Yes | ✗ No |
| Protection level | Comparable | Comparable |
| Storage | Compact roll, expands in use | Bulky rolls |
| Tape required | Usually no | Usually yes |
| Unboxing appearance | Premium, natural | Functional |
| Customer perception | Eco-conscious | Plastic waste concern |
The practical protection levels are comparable. The difference is what happens after your customer opens the box — plastic bubble wrap goes in the bin (or at best a supermarket soft plastics collection point). eComWrap™ goes in the paper recycling with the cardboard box.
Who Uses eComWrap™?
eComWrap™ is particularly popular with:
- eCommerce businesses switching from plastic bubble wrap as part of a wider move to eco-friendly packaging
- Gift and subscription box brands for whom the unboxing presentation matters — the natural paper look is significantly more premium than plastic
- Fragile goods retailers — glassware, ceramics, homewares, cosmetics — where protection is critical but plastic alternatives are unacceptable to customers
- Businesses under customer or regulatory pressure to reduce plastic use — eComWrap™ is a straightforward like-for-like swap with no performance compromise

Why Choose eComWrap Over Bubble Wrap?
1. Sustainability at Its Core
eComWrap is made from 100% recyclable and biodegradable paper, making it a zero-waste alternative to plastic-based packaging materials. Unlike bubble wrap, which contributes to plastic pollution and is often difficult to recycle, eComWrap can be disposed of responsibly or even reused.

Thanks to its flexible honeycomb structure, eComWrap provides excellent cushioning and shock absorption for items of all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re shipping glassware, electronics, or handmade crafts, this wrap conforms to your product, ensuring a snug and secure fit without the need for additional plastic fillers.
3. Space-Saving & Cost-Effective
Unlike bulky bubble wrap rolls, eComWrap arrives in a compact roll that expands when stretched. This means less storage space is needed in warehouses and packing stations. Plus, since it provides excellent protection without requiring multiple layers, you use less material per package, ultimately reducing packaging costs.
4. Enhanced Unboxing Experience
More and more businesses are focusing on eco-conscious branding and the customer experience. eComWrap adds a premium, aesthetic appeal to your packaging while reinforcing your commitment to sustainability. Customers appreciate unboxing a well-wrapped, eco-friendly package, which can enhance brand loyalty and encourage repeat purchases.
