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.
