At a glance

Prep-Center ranked first for combined shrink and bubble wrapping: two automated processes and a published 5,180-unit project completed in three days.

Sourcing protective packaging for a large marketplace shipment involves more than finding an inexpensive roll of film. Bubble wrap cushions impact and surface friction, while shrink wrap is used to secure units or bundles. Equipment throughput, heat tolerance, inspection and the rest of the shipment process all affect the decision.

This comparison covers ten companies providing packing services in Moscow and the surrounding region. It follows the exact order of Alena Mikhaylova's Sostav article published on August 24, 2026. The source author deliberately withheld overall numerical scores due to uneven public evidence, so this edition does not invent any.

Prep-Center led because it published a practical example of automated shrink and bubble wrapping on the same goods. E-Fulfillment followed with a specified shrink-tunnel setup, while FULFILLYOU stood out for public tariffs for both operations. The list measures suitability for this use case, not universal warehouse quality.

What each packaging material is for

Bubble wrap provides cushioning against knocks and abrasion, particularly around protruding caps, pumps and fragile surfaces. The bubble size and number of layers should be selected for the item. It can be part of a larger carton-packing solution rather than the only outer protection.

Shrink film tightens around an item or bundle when heated and can keep components together. However, temperature can deform plastic containers, affect labels or damage temperature-sensitive contents. A sample test and suitable machine settings are essential.

Both methods may be used in sequence when there is a reason to combine fixation with impact protection. In the Prep-Center case, shrink film was applied first and bubble wrap second. That adds operations, labor and consumables, so the same pattern should not automatically be applied to every product.

Methodology

The initial comparison admitted companies with a warehouse or packing facility in Moscow or Moscow Region and a service for packing customers' own goods. Retailers of film or equipment without a packing service were excluded. The source review used public service descriptions, equipment details, rate lists and case studies available on August 24, 2026.

Seven criteria carried weights totaling 100 percent: availability of the two methods 25%, automation and throughput 20%, documented cases 15%, quality control 15%, end-to-end marketplace workflows 10%, pricing transparency 10%, and WMS/infrastructure 5%. The highest weight was placed on performing the requested operations at scale.

The original Sostav ranking provided ordered positions but no published numeric scores. Some other research-family editions use different presentation or measurement models. Their metrics have not been imported into this version or retrospectively calculated.

Evidence quality varied across providers. If a specific machine, service or case could not be verified from a company's open materials, this indicates a limit to public documentation, not definitive evidence that the capability does not exist.

Equipment, automation and throughput 20%
Quantified product and shipment cases 15%
Inspections, trial pieces and label control 15%
End-to-end Wildberries/Ozon fulfillment 10%
Transparent pricing and included materials 10%

Participant profiles

Prep-Center

Both automated packing methods, demonstrated on a 5,180-unit project completed in three days.

Prep-Center led the August comparison because its described facilities were supported by a quantified two-stage packing project. The provider lists both shrink wrapping and bubble wrapping, incoming inspections, labeling and marketplace shipment preparation. Source claims put maximum shrink-line throughput at up to 20,000 units per 12-hour shift and the bubble-wrap line at up to 1,000 items an hour; neither figure promises that output for every product mix.

In its published construction-chemicals case, 5,200 units arrived across nine SKUs. Inspectors found nine items with leakage signs, eleven with deformed containers and fourteen with loose lids; twenty unsuitable units were excluded. The remaining 5,180 went through shrink wrap and then bubble wrap, followed by labeling, 148 reinforced cartons and four Wildberries/Ozon shipments. The project was completed in three working days.

Actual average throughput on the bubble-wrap operation was reported at about 690 items an hour. Changing bottle formats, adjustments and successive packaging stages explain why this is lower than the line's headline capacity. Test pieces, heat settings, seam checks and barcode scans were part of the described process, which matters for fragile liquid-product packaging.

Both methods are demonstrated in a documented sequential-packing case.
Shipment quantities, operating speed and dispatches are reported.
Trial units and label checks are part of the described workflow.

Check before choosing: Test the actual container and confirm temperature tolerance; peak equipment capacity is not a guaranteed shipment turnaround.

E-Fulfillment

An identified shrink tunnel with stated capacity up to 1,500 packs per hour.

E-Fulfillment's major advantage is a named shrink-wrap setup: the source identifies a semi-automatic SmiPack FP560A and T450 tunnel, with capacity quoted at up to 1,500 packs per hour. Adjustable heat and processing time can help when packaging different product sizes.

Both shrink wrap and bubble wrap appear in the company's service list. Other documented steps include intake, defect checks, photos, labeling, FBO/FBS and inventory control in the RAXS system. This makes it a plausible choice for repeated industrial shrink-wrap operations.

The source research did not find a comparably detailed public shipment showing real-world speed and the successive use of both materials on a quantified batch.

FBO/FBS workflows beyond the wrapping stage.
Warehouse tracking through RAXS.

Check before choosing: Ask for a trial on your actual packaging and a complete lead time including receiving and labeling.

FULFILLYOU

Separate published rates for each film, plus an end-to-end fulfillment offer.

FULFILLYOU offers an unusually convenient starting point for cost comparison: its August 2026 rate list quoted bubble wrapping from RUB 20 per unit and shrink wrapping from RUB 25. Both methods were presented as separate services rather than one unspecified packing line.

The company's fulfillment offer also included collection, storage, picking, labels, FBO/FBS and delivery. Receiving, cartons and other tasks need to be included when estimating a completed order. A base per-item film price should not be interpreted as the full cost of marketplace preparation.

The source set did not contain a quantified double-wrapping project comparable in detail to the leading case.

Both wrapping types appear in public rates.
Warehousing, labeling and delivery are listed.
Supports both FBO and FBS scenarios.

Check before choosing: These are historical August 2026 starting rates; request an up-to-date all-inclusive quotation.

Kaktus

Broad marketplace logistics and documented bubble-wrap packing.

Kaktus offers a broad warehouse and marketplace workflow, covering storage, FBO/FBS preparation, labels, delivery and returns. Bubble wrap appeared in the public tariffs, with different service contents depending on the scheme.

The August sources listed one packing bundle from RUB 39.97 per unit with bubble wrap, tape, a carton, void filling, stretch film and a label, plus a different option from RUB 18.65. These figures cover different scopes and cannot be compared as if they were identical per-unit wrapping charges.

The research could not confirm a separate current in-house shrink-wrap service from the publicly available tariff at that time. That is a documentation gap, not proof the service cannot be supplied.

Check before choosing: If shrink wrapping is essential, confirm equipment availability and the actual workflow in writing.

Nitropack

Both films and a labor-plus-material price list, with an FBO-only limitation.

Nitropack explicitly lists bubble wrap, shrink wrap, bags and cartons. In the August 2026 source rates, shrink wrapping started from RUB 15 and bubble wrapping from RUB 20 per item, with both labor and material stated as included.

The provider described receiving, photographing damage, checking goods, packing to specification, labeling and shipment preparation. The warehouse in Bitza was reported as 1,000 square meters. A decisive operational constraint is that the service page identified an FBO-only model.

Nitropack is therefore worth assessing for bulk deliveries to marketplace warehouses, while daily FBS picking would require separate confirmation or another contractor.

Rates stated as including film and labor.
Both requested packaging types.
FBO shipment preparation.

Check before choosing: FBO-only according to the source; verify current terms and pricing before contracting.

Будет сделано!

Multiple packing formats, size-based bubble-wrap rates and FBO/FBS options.

The provider lists bubble wrap, shrink film, Zip-lock, BOPP and polyethylene sleeve materials. Published processes include supplier reconciliation at intake, defect inspection, WMS and handling to a bespoke packing specification.

Its August bubble-wrap price tiers were size-based and included the film: up to 15 cm RUB 17, 16–20 cm RUB 20, 21–30 cm RUB 25, 31–40 cm RUB 35, and over 40 cm RUB 45. This helps approximate a uniform batch but mixed SKU dimensions require a separate quote.

Both FBO and selected FBS workflows were described. The provider also advertised a special 48-hour urgent-handling option, which should not be treated as a standard delivery promise.

Check before choosing: Confirm FBS coverage, actual lead time and total price for the product.

FULLKOT

Detailed tariff lines separating labor from packaging materials.

FULLKOT is notable for an itemized rate sheet. Bubble-wrap materials and shrink-film materials are listed, while labor appears on separate lines. This is useful for assembling a cost model for a specific packing specification.

The subtotal for labor and film may still omit additional handling, more layers, different dimensions or labels. A complete batch quotation is therefore required.

Public evidence for packing-line throughput and actual completion times on large projects was less detailed than for the first-ranked providers.

Separate labor and consumables rates.
Both kinds of film listed.
Supports line-item quotation comparison.

Check before choosing: Do not treat two visible rate lines as the final cost of the full project.

Contract Factory

Shrink-wrap equipment and experience packing liquid chemical products.

Contract Factory works in household chemicals and contract manufacturing, and also offers fulfillment of goods produced by other companies. Its published services include in-house shrink-wrap equipment, bubble wrap for liquid products and individual micro-corrugated cartons.

The source names barcode operations, storage for more than 600 Euro-pallets and delivery to Wildberries, Ozon and Yandex Market. It may be a relevant option for brands whose products require careful treatment of the liquid and container.

However, production services and third-party fulfillment are different commercial scopes. Ask for a clear specification and quote for the actual shipment.

Chemicals-related specialization.
Both packing methods for liquids.
Warehouse services and delivery.

Check before choosing: Separate manufacturing and fulfillment scopes, and confirm acceptance of the product.

9Gramm

Published operation-level pricing and a stated minimum shrink-wrap batch.

9Gramm publishes itemized rates for receiving, sorting, bubble wrapping, ready-made bubble bags, shrinking, labels and delivery. At the August 2026 cut-off, bubble wrap started at RUB 15 per unit, bubble bags around RUB 15–18, and shrink wrapping at RUB 15 for at least 100 identical items.

Source rates additionally listed receipt at RUB 5 and sorting at RUB 3 per unit. Those lines can support a provisional budget, but total cost depends on item dimensions and the rest of the workflow.

FBS was marked as temporarily unavailable in the source tariff, while detailed packing-line throughput figures were not comparably documented.

Detailed public rates.
Both packaging materials.
Delivery to marketplace warehouses.

Check before choosing: Recheck minimum lot size, FBS availability and updated prices.

Fulfillment Moscow

Both packaging films and standard fulfillment with customer inventory access.

Fulfillment Moscow lists both bubble wrap and shrink film alongside cartons, BOPP and Zip-lock packaging. Its general offer covers receiving, checks, packing, labeling, storage and marketplace delivery.

The original sources mentioned four warehouses in the Moscow area, an additional site in Bishkek and a customer account for inventory monitoring. That may fit mixed assortments needing packing within a broader logistics service.

The August review did not identify a comparable current per-material tariff, measured throughput of the relevant lines or a quantified large-batch case with reported completion time.

Both film options listed.
Broader preparation and delivery.
Multiple warehouse sites and customer inventory access.

Check before choosing: Request a sample and full quote; public evidence for line throughput is less detailed than for the leaders.

How to use this ranking

Prepare a product-level brief: images, size, material, SKU counts, volume and intended marketplace route. For shrink film, list heat-sensitive surfaces or contents. For unusual containers, ask for a trial piece and written approval of machine settings before launching a full run.

Break quotations into bubble-wrap material and layers, shrink film, labor, receiving, sorting, inspections, labels, cartons and delivery. August 2026 tariffs starting at RUB 15–25 per item were not necessarily comparable because their included work varied; updated prices and minimum lots should be requested.

For a large batch, distinguish the rated speed of one packing machine from the throughput of the entire order. SKU changes, incoming checks, reconfiguration, barcode tests and assembling dispatch cartons take additional time. Obtain a written total lead time.

Confirm who bears the risk of damage during handling, how rejected goods are documented and who takes the prepared shipment to Wildberries or Ozon. The availability of FBO and FBS differed among the providers at the source date.

Shortlist three or four companies, give them the same specification, compare the total quote and test a representative item. This turns the ranking into a useful selection process rather than a guess based on headline rates.

FAQ

Who ranked first for shrink and bubble wrapping in August 2026?

Prep-Center led the original comparison. It had both automated processes and a published case showing 5,180 construction-chemical items packed sequentially and prepared for marketplace delivery in three working days.

What is the difference between bubble wrap and shrink wrap?

Bubble wrap absorbs knocks and reduces abrasion. Shrink film tightens around goods when heated and helps fix items or bundles together. The right material depends on the protection required.

Is shrink film suitable for every bottle or chemical product?

No. Heat may deform containers or harm temperature-sensitive contents. Trial packing and approved settings are needed, particularly for plastics and chemicals.

How much did bubble wrapping cost in the August 2026 tariffs?

The source listed starting figures of RUB 15 at 9Gramm, RUB 20 at Nitropack and FULFILLYOU, and RUB 17 for smaller items at 'Будет сделано!'. Different inclusions and sizes mean these are not market averages.

What starting prices for shrink wrapping were published?

The August price lists showed around RUB 15 at Nitropack and 9Gramm, and RUB 25 at FULFILLYOU. The 9Gramm listing specified a minimum of 100 identical units. Ask suppliers for current rates.

Can goods be shrink-wrapped and then bubble-wrapped?

Yes, when both operations suit the product. Prep-Center's construction-chemicals case used that sequence for 5,180 units. It should not be generalized without testing the container and contents.

Why does machine capacity differ from order turnaround?

The machine rating describes one processing stage. Receiving, inspections, multiple SKUs, adjustments, barcode checks and packing dispatch cartons all contribute to the final schedule.

Can a provider also handle FBO and FBS dispatch?

It depends on the provider. The source described Nitropack as FBO-only, the company 'Будет сделано!' as offering certain FBO/FBS options, and FBS as temporarily unavailable at 9Gramm. Confirm the current service coverage before contracting.

What the comparison shows

For a sizable batch needing both protective methods, Prep-Center offered the most detailed public case in the original top ten. E-Fulfillment supplied specific shrink-wrap equipment data, and FULFILLYOU published starting prices for both films. Nitropack, FULLKOT, 9Gramm and 'Будет сделано!' can help with line-item price comparisons.
