This film is then flattened to the required thickness before being fed through rollers with small holes in.<\/p>\n<p>As the film travels over these rollers, air is vacuumed onto it, pushing it into the small holes which create the air bubbles that give it such good protective qualities.<\/p>\n<p>With the air bubbles blown into the film, it\u2019s then run across more rollers which seal it with another layer of film, trapping the air inside and ensuring that the small air bubbles stay contained.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, it\u2019s cut to width and perforated so it can be rolled up into large, industrial sized rolls.\u00a0 After passing quality checks, it\u2019s then shipped out to be used all around the world.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1929 size-full\" title=\"Transparent bubble wrap\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap.jpg\" alt=\"Transparent bubble wrap\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap-430x287.jpg 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Transparent-bubble-wrap-624x416.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/>Image source: <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/en\/bubble-wrap-bubble-wrap-transparent-316133\/\">https:\/\/pixabay.com\/en\/bubble-wrap-bubble-wrap-transparent-316133\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Who invented bubble wrap?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bubble wrap was invented in 1957, not by a single person but by two inventors named Alfred Fielding and Marc Chavannes. If you\u2019re wondering where was bubble wrap invented, it was first created in Hawthorne, New Jersey in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Alfred and Marc were not trying to create a packaging material at all but were in fact working to invent a three-dimensional tactile wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together!<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, their invention failed to sell as a wallpaper so they tried marketing it as a greenhouse insulator, also with limited success.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t until several years later in 1961 when the packaging and protection offered by their invention was fully realised.<\/p>\n<p>The name \u2018Bubble Wrap\u2019 was branded by Sealed Air corporation (which was founded by Alfred and Marc) and IBM became their first large customer, who used it to protect their sensitive computers during shipment.\u00a0 Over 50 years later it\u2019s used all over the world and is one of the most common packaging materials in use today.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/bubble-wrap-packaging\/bubble-wrap-rolls_C161010.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1930 size-full\" title=\"Rajapack Bubble wrap rolls\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rajapack-Bubble-wrap-rolls.png\" alt=\"Rajapack Bubble wrap rolls\" width=\"1381\" height=\"488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rajapack-Bubble-wrap-rolls.png 1381w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rajapack-Bubble-wrap-rolls-430x152.png 430w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rajapack-Bubble-wrap-rolls-768x271.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rajapack-Bubble-wrap-rolls-1024x362.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/blog-uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Rajapack-Bubble-wrap-rolls-624x221.png 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1381px) 100vw, 1381px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is bubble wrap recyclable? <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This amazing material not only excels at offering great protection but surprisingly it can be recycled too.\u00a0 If you are wondering \u201cis bubble wrap eco-friendly?\u201d \u00a0then the answer is yes, absolutely.<\/p>\n<p>There are several ways you can recycle it; some local councils are able to collect it along with their standard recycling collections, others offer recycling facilities at local sites which you can take it to.\u00a0 You\u2019ll need to check with your local council to find out if they accept bubble wrap.\u00a0 You can easily find out about local recycling collections through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/recycling-collections\">\u2018Recycling Collections\u2019<\/a> section of the government website, by simply entering your postcode.<\/p>\n<p>For a more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/environmental_cms_000045.html\">eco-friendly packaging<\/a> alternative to standard bubble wrap, take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/protective-packaging\/bubble-wrap-packaging\/30-recycled-large-bubble-wrap-rolls_OFF_UK_00858.html\">recycled bubble wrap<\/a>.

packaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As a lightweight and strong material, bubble wrap can be used in many ways for packaging and protection.\u00a0 To find out how to use bubble wrap, we\u2019ve included some information below.<\/p>\n<p>Bubble wrap features a flat side and a side with the cushioning bubbles.\u00a0 A common question we get asked is, \u201cwhich way round should you wrap items for the best protection?\u201d We always recommend to wrap the bubbles next to the item you wish to protect, so usually that means the bubbles are on the inside. \u00a0This gives the best protection by placing the cushioning directly against the item.<\/p>\n<p>For protecting individual items in cartons from bumps and knocks, prewrap bubble wrap around each one before placing into a carton or box.\u00a0 This will provide a layer of air cushioning, offering excellent protection in combination with the strength of the item.<\/p>\n<p>Use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rajapack.co.uk\/packaging-tape-strapping\/packaging-tape_C1810.html\">packaging tape<\/a> to fully secure bubble wrap, tightly sealing the item inside.\u00a0 This will ensure you get the most protection from the cushioning material.\u00a0 If it\u2019s only loosely wrapped, then it is likely to slip during transit and won\u2019t be protected..<\/p>\n<p>If you are shipping parcels with several items inside, bubble wrap can be used to layer and separate them, providing a soft layer of air cushioning while preventing products from moving around loosely during shipping.\u00a0 Divide your bubble wrap into squares, and these can then be placed inside the parcel to cushion and protect between items.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
