This month is Bubble-wrap’s 50th Birthday.

First invented by Marc Chavannes and Al Fielding, they weren’t looking for the solution to packing fragile items, they were creating textured wallpaper.

A classic case of searching for one thing but discovering something else. Sometimes losing sight of your goal can have a happy result.

The official licensed manufacturers of Bubble wrap, Sealed Air, have global revenues of over $4bn.

For an amazing insight into the world of Bubble wrap you should really ‘pop’ over to Virtual Bubble Wrap.com where you’ll learn about methods, etiquette (such as ‘Don’t pop someone else’s bubble wrap without permission’) and various methods to get the most out of your Bubble Wrap experience.

You’d never have that much fun with textured wallpaper now, would you?
