Not every great idea starts out the way it was intended. Did you know that bubble wrap was originally created as a type of wallpaper?
In the late 1950s, inventors Alfred W. Fielding and Marc Chavannes were experimenting with a plastic wallpaper that had a paper backing. The idea did not take off as a decorating trend, but their invention eventually became something much more useful: one of the most recognizable protective packaging materials in the world.
Today, bubble wrap is used by businesses of all sizes to help protect products during storage, handling, and shipping. Those small air-filled pockets help cushion items, reduce damage, and keep products safer throughout the shipping process.
And let’s be honest — if bubble wrap had ended up on the walls, it probably would not have lasted very long. Most of us would be too tempted to pop it!
