Bubble Wrap: It’s not just a fun popping experience

One of the funniest activities that all humans have in common is the popping of bubble wrap. As a young child, our mother’s handed us this great toy and for years we find ourselves overjoyed at the thought of receiving a package wrapped in bubble wrap. It’s almost as fun as the item that it’s wrapped in, don’t you agree?

But bubble wrap is made for packing and keeping your items safe. And one of the greatest uses of bubble wrap is used when packing pictures or breakable, fragile items when moving from one destination to another. I like the bubble wrap that comes in a box that you can move around to each item instead of the messy hard to manage rolls.

In investigating the different types of bubble wrap available to the public, I have found that there are many different types available, and all of them serve a purpose. The pink bubble wrap is different from the transparent bubble wrap because it’s treated when made with an anti-static material. However, the bubble wrap company can make any color imaginable for their customers. It’s all a matter of choice. But for the sake of moving, the color of bubble wrap is irrelevant. It’s more a matter of size.

Choosing The Right Size Bubble Wrap

Bubble wrap comes in basically 5 sizes. Usually based upon the size of the air bubble, there are bubble wraps in 1/16”, 1/8”, 3/16”, 5/16”, and ½”. There is even bubble wrap that can be inflated by the customer. For the sake of moving, bubble wrap is best purchased in a medium size. Medium size bubble wrap is stronger then smaller and doesn’t take up as much room as the larger bubble wraps. Most professional moving companies carry various sizes of bubble wrap; they will be able to help you decide the best available bubble wrap for your items.

Bubble wrap comes in a various types, as well. Besides the anti-static pink bubble wrap, you can purchase bubble wrap that is made from special laminates, those with adhesives, bubble bags, on rolls, and best of all in flame-retardant bubble wrap.

No matter which bubble wrap you choose, there’s always one right for you. It’s just a matter of personal choice, bubble wrap will always be a great popping activity, and however, it’s also a great cushion for your favorite items in any move.
