| What is Bubble Wrap? | |||
| Bubble wrap is a packing material that consists of small bubbles of air that are designed to cushion and protect fragile objects. Many people wonder what is the science behind bubble wrap. In short, bubble wrap is created from pockets of air locked between two layers of polyethylene film. The air bubbles provide protection against damage to fragile items during shipping or moving. Bubble wrap is sold in sheet, rolls and are sometimes embedded into mailing envelopes. | |||
| History of Bubble Wrap | |||
| In the 1950s, the inventors of bubble wrap, Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes were on a mission to create textured wallpaper. Things didn’t go as planned and the two decided to market their creation as packing material instead. In 1960, the two inventors founded Sealed Air Corporation and started mass production of bubble wrap. Through extensive research, the company developed technology to prevent air leaking and enhance cushioning performance. IBM became the first major company to use bubble wrap for their shipments. | |||
| Advantages of Bubble Wrap | |||
| While there are many packing and cushioning materials available, bubble wrap appeals to people because it is lightweight, and provides better protection from shock, vibration, and damage than tissue or foam cushioning. Bubble wrap is a standard supply in many industries. Electronic items are often wrapped in anti-static bubble wrap to prevent static build-up that might damage electronics. In addition to its practical use, many people enjoy popping bubble wrap for amusement. | |||
