Cut damage and returns with consistent bubble pouch protection on every item.

The damage problem

Impact damage from drops during sorting and delivery
Compression from stacking
Bubble pouches cushion against all damage types consistently

Quick answer

Bubble pouches reduce damage-related returns by 50-70% through consistent, pre-formed cushioning. Unlike loose wrap which varies by operator, every pouch provides identical protection. Right-sizing prevents internal movement. Each prevented return saves £5-20+. The per-item pouch cost is a fraction of one prevented damage claim.

How pouches help

No operator variation in wrapping quality.

Snug fit eliminates rattling.

Complete cushioning without gaps.

Cost savings

At a 3% damage rate on 500 items/month (15 damaged), replacement costs £75-300 monthly. Pouches reduce this to under 1% (5 items). The pouch cost of £25-50/month saves £50-250 in prevented damage.
