Wadding can come in the form of either a roll or a pad. The roll form is often referred to as Cellulose Wadding, These products consist of four or more plies of soft, absorbent tissue backed with a tough layer of Kraft for durability. This material is excellent for scratch prone surfaces such as fine wood furniture or mirrors. Rolls, typically 48 inch by 250 feet long are ideal for large or irregular shaped objects since the packer can wrap the object and cut it to the exact size needed to protect it. This also eliminates both time and material waste from taping smaller pieces together.
Wadding Pads are often referred to as mirror pads or mirror wrap. They are constructed from the same materials as wadding and are usually cut into standard sizes like 48” X 72”. This makes them ideal for wrapping fragile, scratch-prone household or commercial goods. The size is ideal for many commonly protected items like mirrors and framed prints and saves the labor associated with cutting wadding from a roll.
