Everyone knows that bubble wrap provides hours of stress relieving fun but its main purpose is to serve as a cushioning material for packing and shipping. Bubble wrap is made from pockets of air locked between two layers of polyethylene film. Despite the fact that is extremely lightweight, bubble wrap does a great job of providing protection from shock, vibration and damage. In comparison to tissue cushioning, bubble wrap is far more flexible and resilient. It is also generally thicker than foam.
Bubble wrap is available in sheets, rolls, and is even embedded into envelopes. Anti-static bubble wrap is often used to wrap electronic items which help to protect the items from static buildup and consequently, damage. Most people find bubble wrap to be useful when they are shipping a fragile item or moving belongings to a new home. Using bubble wrap to pack delicate items such as vases, dishes or glassware before placing them in cardboard boxes could save you a lot of trouble if you happen to drop the box accidentally. The same goes for shipping or mailing items as well. Perhaps the best thing about bubble wrap is that it is relatively inexpensive and has countless uses.
