When transporting fragile objects, they obviously need to be packaged in a way that will not harm them. It is fairly common for packages to receive impact of some kind during transportation and so it is common practice to cushion the packaging of delicate object during the time that they are being transported.

A reliable way of cushioning an object so that it doesnt get harmed in the transportation process is to use bubble wrap. Bubble wrap has been used for this for just over fifty years and is still going strong.

In essence, bubble wrap is a plastic, see through sheet with regularly spaced out bubbles of air in it which provide the cushioning for the item.

In 1957, two engineers (Marc Chavannes and Alfred Fielding) invented bubbled wrap and the name was a trademark of their company The Sealed Air Corporation and technically speaking, still is.

Sometimes more than one layer of bubble wrap is more effective than bigger bubbles, but its not always necessary. If something isnt likely to break completely but has a delicate finish on the surface, then a single layer of bubble wrap will suffice to ensure that the item does not get scratched.

The size of the bubbles in the sheet can vary, usually from around 6 millimetres to around 26 millimetres, but (depending on who you buy it from) you can usually ask for customized sizes.

Different materials are available for bubble wrap such as an anti-static plastic material for transporting fragile objects like sensitive electronic parts.

Bubble wrap, as we all know can be played with for entertainment. Popping the bubbles makes a somewhat satisfying popping noise that delights children. Some websites have whats known as virtual bubble wrap which pops when you click on it. Some people may call this pointless, some people may call it fantastic, I think its both.
