Plastic-Free, Curbside Recyclable Alternative to Bubble Wrap®
A plastic-free, curbside recyclable alternative to bubble wrap® that delivers reliable cushioning and protection. GreenWrap uses an expandable honeycomb paper layer paired with tissue paper to protect fragile items, reduce plastic waste, and create a clean, elevated unboxing experience for eCommerce shipments.
The white tissue paper liner and outer layer of white or kraft expandable honeycomb paper are made from certified, sustainably sourced virgin paper. Artfully mold GreenWrap around your products to provide a beautiful presentation while taking up less room than traditional plastic bubbles.
GreenWrap is a paper-based protective packaging material that expands into a three-dimensional honeycomb structure to cushion and protect products during shipping. Made from die-cut kraft paper and tissue paper, it stretches as you pull it, forming a flexible, shock-absorbing wrap that conforms around your products.
Unlike plastic bubble wrap®, GreenWrap relies on paper structure, not trapped air, to provide protection. This creates a lightweight, plastic-free cushioning solution that performs well in transit while remaining easy for customers to recycle.
GreenWrap is commonly used to:
Wrap fragile or breakable items
Cushion and stabilize products inside shipping boxes
Replace plastic bubble wrap® in eCommerce fulfillment
Elevate presentation for premium, giftable, or brand-forward shipments
GreenWrap is designed for fast and intuitive packing. The built-in dispenser allows the paper to expand as it is pulled, forming a protective honeycomb structure without scissors or complicated setup.
Use GreenWrap to:
Wrap individual products to provide surface protection
Layer items inside a shipping box to reduce movement during transit
Combine with tissue paper to enhance presentation and unboxing
GreenWrap is a strong protective packaging option for fragile or easily scuffed items that need cushioning and surface protection during shipping.
It works especially well for:
Glass bottles and jars
Candles and ceramic items
Skincare, beauty, and wellness products
Home goods and giftable products
For heavier items or products with sharp edges, GreenWrap can be paired with additional protective packaging to improve performance and reduce the risk of damage.
