National Bubble Wrap Day’s History

Alright, alright. Although Bubble Wrap isn’t a toy per such, its real use is possibly even odd. You see, the creators of Bubble Wrap initially attempted to sell it as wallpaper by sealing two shower curtains together.

Unfortunately, this didn’t work as intended; imagine how many cases of severe anxiety could have been resolved if all you had to do to get some comfort was to beat your walls?

Paradoxically, this wasn’t the only mistake made along the route to its proper purpose; they also made the mostly unsuccessful attempt to promote it as greenhouse insulation after this.

After realizing its ideal use a year later, the Bubble Wrap brand packaging line was born. With IBM as its first client, it got off to a lucky start by sending the IBM 1401 to its numerous clients in comfortable, air-cushioned packaging.

Every year, Bubble Wrap offers a “Young Inventor” prize to inspire young people to think of uses for Bubble Wrap other than packaging. Every year, these young inventors strive to produce the newest Bubble Wrap rage, whether you need a Bubble Wrap comfy wheelchair to protect your loved ones from harm or a door cover to assist you keep out dings.
