Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day

Bubble Wrap was invented in 1957 by two engineers : Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding who

were attempting to make a plastic wallpaper with a paper backing. This failed but then they realized that their invention would make a great revolutionary packing material.

Bubble Wrap not only protects your items during shipment (and we use it here sometimes) but it is great fun!

Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day was created by “Spirit 95” FM radio  in Bloomington, Indiana. The first Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day was celebrated in 2001 and had a Bubble Wrap popping relay, sculpture contest, and  fashion contest.
