Bubble wrap vs packing tissue; when is it best to use each?

Top quality Bubble wrap and packing tissue are superb choices in padding and protection when boxing up your fragile valuables for transport, or just packing them away for long term storage. However, jobs that suit bubble inappropriate for bubble wrap, it is crucial to be aware of when to use each packing option, so as to ensure the wrap may not be suitable for packing tissue, and a job for packing tissue may be too delicate or safest storage for fragile items.

Bubble wrap for packing is ideal for items that, whilst larger in size, are still fragile, and will break without protection, for example; a mirror, bubble wrap will ensure that the corners and sides of the frame remain dent and bump free, whilst also ensuring that the glass will remain intact, padded by the thick bubble wrap. 

 

However, when dealing with smaller fragile items, such as glass ornaments, or mugs and plates packing tissue is superior, allowing you to wrap your fragile items fully and completely, and with the ability of flexibility, packing tissue can be used as wadding, and balled up inside items such as mugs and glasses, to act as a further barrier to damage.
