Paper Bubble Making Machines

Mini Paper Bubble Making Machine

The SD-PB600 converts 125gsm or 180gsm kraft paper made from 100% waste paper into embossed paper bubble wrap in a single pass. The machine forms air-cell-like structures that provide cushioning for fragile items during shipping. This allows a packaging producer to make its own paper cushioning instead of buying finished rolls, which reduces cost and avoids plastic restrictions. The machine is designed for small to medium production runs and fits into compact factory spaces.

  • Replaces plastic bubble wrap with a 100% recyclable paper cushion that meets retailer restrictions on plastic packaging
  • Produces paper bubble wrap in one continuous process: unwinding, forming, and rewinding
  • Working speed of 50 m/min allows consistent output for small to mid-sized production needs
  • Compact size of 1200 x 800 x 1300 mm makes it suitable for facilities with limited floor space
  • Uses 100% waste paper as raw material, reducing input cost and supporting sustainability goals
Problems It Solves

Why Buyers Choose It

  • Plastic bubble wrap is being rejected by end customers in export markets due to environmental regulations
  • Buying finished paper bubble wrap adds a supplier margin and requires inventory management
  • Manual wrapping of fragile goods is slow and inconsistent across shifts
  • Lack of space prevents larger machines from being installed in small production areas
  • High cost of plastic cushioning is passed on to the end customer or reduces margins
Who It Is For

Who Runs This Machine

  • Small to mid-sized packaging converters with limited space and budget
  • E-commerce packers needing a low-cost alternative to plastic bubble wrap
  • Paper mills or traders adding a converting step to their existing kraft paper supply

Process

How The Machine Runs

Step 1Load a kraft paper reel up to 600 mm diameter onto the 3 inch inflatable air shaft
Step 2Guide the web through the forming section using the machine’s internal rollers
Step 3Form the embossed bubble pattern using the die and pressure system
Step 4Rewind the finished paper bubble wrap onto the 3 inch inflatable air shaft
Step 5Stop the machine when the desired roll length is reached

Materials

  • 125gsm or 180gsm kraft paper made from 100% waste paper
  • 100% recyclable paper cushioning material
  • Optional laminated backing layer for improved durability (not specified in facts)

Quality Control

  • Inflatable air shafts ensure even tension and prevent paper damage during unwinding and rewinding
  • Consistent forming pressure maintains uniform bubble size and structure across the roll
  • Machine tested with customer paper before shipment to verify performance
  • Roll diameter is limited to 300 mm to prevent core deformation during handling

Customisation

  • Power supply can be built to the voltage and frequency of the destination country
  • Unwinding and rewinding shafts are 3 inch standard, but can be adjusted if core size changes
  • Forming die can be modified for different bubble patterns if required
  • Optional laminating unit can be added inline for improved durability (not included in base model)

Certifications

  • ISO9001:2000 certificate obtained in 2005
  • CE certificate obtained in 2006
Comparison

How It Compares

Buying finished paper bubble wrap rollsConverting in house removes the supplier margin but requires inventory of kraft paper and machine operation
Plastic bubble wrap machinesPaper bubble wrap is recyclable and accepted in markets restricting plastic, though it is heavier and less compressible than plastic film
Larger paper bubble machinesThis machine has a smaller footprint and lower power use, but is limited to 50 m/min and 600 mm width
Use Guide

Running It On Your Floor

  1. Ensure the kraft paper reel is within 600 mm diameter and 125gsm or 180gsm thickness before loading
  2. Mount the reel on the 3 inch inflatable air shaft and inflate to secure the roll
  3. Start the machine at low speed and adjust the forming pressure to avoid crushing the paper
  4. Check the first few metres of formed wrap for consistent bubble formation and alignment
  5. Stop the machine when the roll reaches the desired length to avoid over-rewinding
