Happy BWA Day

Today is Bubble Wrap ® Appreciation Day! At least, it is according to the fine folks at Fast-Pack.com, purveyors of fine Bubble Wrap ® in a variety of colours.

Bubble Wrap ® is a plastic sheet containing regularly spaced air-filled pockets that cusion fragile items being shipped. Although it has been in use as a shipping material since 1957, it also serves as a stress reliever for a multitude of people who are addicted to popping the tiny plastic bubbles. Although there are many manufacturers of air cushioning packing materials, the Bubble Wrap ® is actually a trademarked name.

If you go to the Fast-Pack.com website (www.fast-pack.com/bubblewrapappreciation.html) you will find a short news feature on BWA Day, along with craft ideas, virtual bubble popping games, and links to other sites. Check out the Virtual Bubble Wrap ® website (http://www.virtual-bubblewrap.com/index.shtml) which includes pages on Bubble Wrap ® diagnostics, Bubble Wrap ® etiquette, and Bubble Wrap ® techniques.
