Bubble wrap is a flexible transparent plastic material used for packing fragile items. Regularly spaced, air-filled pockets (bubbles) provide cushioning for fragile items.
Bubble wrap actually came about by accident. In 1957, two engineers, Marc Chavannes and Alfred Fielding, tried to create wallpaper by sticking two shower curtains together. However, this idea failed (partly because of all the air bubbles that were created), and thus the bubbly material was marketed as a greenhouse insulation material instead.
Our Bubble wrap Ireland is perfect for cushioning products during transit or when in storage, protecting surfaces and preventing scratches or damage and also for use as void fill.
Its ideal if you are planning to move house or send a fragile parcel through the post. It is the perfect material for protecting valuables and delicate household items.
- Bubble wrap is 100% reusable and recyclable.
- All Bubble products are available in Anti-static
- The term “bubble pack” can also refer to a blister pack
Should the little bubbles be on the inside or out? (This seems to be the question most people ask about bubble wrap. )
While some may disagree, the consensus is that they should definitely face inward. This is true for several reasons, the primary one being that the purpose of the bubbles is to hold the item in place and cushion it from any bouncing or jarring. They can only do this if they are touching the thing that needs protection. So turn them inside for best results.
