Bubblepack is an Irish company with over 35 years of experience insulating dry shipping containers. We operate from a head office in Dublin 12 and a warehouse at Blackhall, Clane in County Kildare, and we install thermal liners across Ireland using our own trained technicians rather than subcontractors.

Across Ireland, Bubblepack supplies and installs the liner. Our technicians attend the container at a depot or on site, fit the material to the walls, ceiling, doors and floor according to the cargo requirement, and prepare a container that is ready to load. This is the only market where the fitting is carried out by Bubblepack employees rather than partners.
Both liner formats available. The Roll Liner is cut and fitted on site for bespoke, partial or non-standard coverage, typically 20 to 45 minutes. The Integrated Liner is prefabricated to fit standard sizes, typically 7 to 20 minutes (depending on container size).
Fitted at container depots or at your own premises before collection.
No minimum order barrier for a first trial container, so a single shipment can be tested before committing.
Site survey and cargo assessment carried out in person.
Ireland's container trade runs through a small number of ports, and the route profile matters more than the destination country when you are assessing temperature risk. Dublin Port is the country's largest, the Port of Cork is the principal southern gateway handling roughly 281,800 containers a year, and Rosslare Europort carries a large share of direct continental traffic. Dublin, Cork and Shannon Foynes are designated Tier 1 ports of national significance, with Waterford and Rosslare as Tier 2.
Post-Brexit, direct sailings from Ireland to the continent rose from 12 per week to 42, roughly six a day, and around half of the non-UK export volume that once crossed the UK landbridge now routes directly.
Longer direct sailings mean more time at sea and more day-night temperature cycles per shipment, which increases both peak exposure and condensation risk versus the old shorter landbridge legs.
Rosslare to Dunkirk runs around 24 hours at sea against roughly 13 hours for a Dublin to Dunkirk trip via the landbridge, so the shift to direct routing has materially lengthened thermal exposure windows.
Every route we cite as evidence starts in Ireland, which is unusual for this category and worth stating. We validate liner performance using third-party temperature loggers on live commercial shipments, not laboratory simulation.
Wexford to the Czech Republic, European short haul. An uninsulated container repeatedly breached a 20 degree upper limit while the insulated container stayed within parameters on the same journey.
Ireland to Romania, testing the opposite risk of freezing rather than heat, using paired insulated and non-insulated shipments.
Ireland to the Middle East and Africa, long haul with a 40 degree upper parameter, using two loggers in one container, one inside the insulation and one outside.
Dublin to New York, transatlantic. External temperature influence moved from direct to dampened, rate of change from rapid to slower, peak exposure from high to reduced, diurnal cycling from large swings to a narrower band.

Yes. Bubblepack installs thermal container liners across Ireland using its own trained technicians based in Dublin and Kildare. Liners are fitted at container depots or at your own premises before the container is collected.
The prefabricated Integrated Liner typically takes 7 to 20 minutes (depending on container size). The Roll Liner, which is cut and fitted to the specific areas of the container on site, typically takes 20 to 45 minutes. Both are fitted before loading, so the container is ready to load when handed back.
Bubblepack works with exporters shipping through all the main Irish container gateways, including Dublin Port, the Port of Cork, Rosslare Europort, Waterford and Shannon Foynes. Because the liner is fitted before the container leaves for the port, the port of departure does not restrict availability.
Yes. A single container is the sensible way to start, ideally on the route you consider your worst. Bubblepack recommends putting a temperature logger in that container so you can see the actual result on your own cargo rather than relying on our published data.
Yes. Bubblepack Insulation is an Irish company with over 35 years of experience supplying and installing thermal liners inside dry shipping containers, headquartered in Dublin. It was shortlisted twice at the 2026 Irish Exporters Association Export Industry Awards, for SME Exporter of the Year and Services Exporter of the Year.
