In the 1950's Two guys from New Jersey, Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding were trying to invent plastic wallpaper with a plastic backing. It didn't look so nice but it did make a superior shipping/packaging material. In 1960 they patened their product and their company "Sealed Air" was born. At the time the best thing to use for shipping wrap was probably newspaper or sawdust. That being said they created the bubble wrap e all know and love today. Oh therapeutic bubbly bubble wrap how I long to expel the air out of your pefectly puffed pockets.
Bubble wrap can also be used to make clothes, furniture, pillows or thousand of other awesome uses. We had a dog who was afraid of popping sounds and we used bubble wrap for behavior modification. I miss that dog.
